We revisit the cohomological index theorem for elliptic elements in the universal enveloping algebra of a Lie groupoid previously proved by the authors. We prove a Thom isomorphism for Lie algebroids which enables us to rewrite the…

Let $ f_i: X \rightarrow {\bf C}$, for $i$ integer between $ 1$ and $ p $, be analytic functions defined on a complex analytic variety $X$. Let us consider $ {\cal D}_X $ the ring of linear differential operators and $ {\cal D}_X [s_1,…

In this paper we prove sufficient conditions for the Fredholm property of a non-smooth pseudodifferential operator $P$ which symbol is in a H\"older space with respect to the spatial variable. As a main ingredient for the proof we use a…

By means of a suitable degree theory, we prove persistence of eigenvalues and eigenvectors for set-valued perturbations of a Fredholm linear operator. As a consequence, we prove existence of a bifurcation point for a non-linear inclusion…

The minimal operator and the maximal operator of an elliptic pseudo-differential operator with symbols on $\Z^n\times \mathbb{T}^n$ are proved to coincide and the domain is given in terms of a Sobolev space. Ellipticity and Fredholmness are…

In this paper, we discuss index theory for Toeplitz operators on a discrete quarter-plane of two-variable rational matrix function symbols. By using Gohberg-Krein theory for matrix factorizations, we extend the symbols defined originally on…

Let $\X\simeq G/K$ be a Riemannian symmetric space of non-compact type, $\widetilde \X$ its Oshima compactification, and $(\pi,\mathrm{C}(\widetilde \X))$ the regular representation of $G$ on $\widetilde \X$. We study integral operators on…

In the first half of this text we explore the interrelationships between the abstract theory of limit operators (see e.g. the recent monographs of Rabinovich, Roch & Silbermann and Lindner) and the concepts and results of the generalised…

We describe a class of real Banach manifolds, which classify $K^{-1}$. These manifolds are Grassmannians of (hermitian) lagrangian subspaces in a complex Hilbert space. Certain finite codimensional real subvarieties described by incidence…

Motivated by Fredholm theory, we develop a framework to establish the convergence of spectral methods for operator equations $\mathcal L u = f$. The framework posits the existence of a left-Fredholm regulator for $\mathcal L$ and the…

We study linear boundary-value problems for systems of first-order ordinary differential equations with the most general boundary conditions in the normed spaces of continuously differentiable functions on a finite closed interval. The…

We construct a Hilbert scale on $L^2([0,1])$ via a unitary twist operator that maps the standard Fourier basis to half-integer frequency exponentials. The resulting weighted spaces, equipped with norms indexed by $(1+|k+\tfrac{1}{2}|^2)^s$,…

we show that the definitions of some classes of semi-Fredholm operators, which use the language of algebra and first introduced by X. Fang in [8], are equivalent to that of some well-known operator classes. For example, the concept of…

We describe a collection of higher homotopy operations which determine the rational homotopy type of a simply-connected space X. These are described in terms of simplicial resolutions of successive approximations (L^k,\alpha} to the Quillen…

We consider the Dirac operator on asymptotically static Lorentzian manifolds with an odd-dimensional compact Cauchy surface. We prove that if Atiyah-Patodi-Singer boundary conditions are imposed at infinite times then the Dirac operator is…

We use algebras of pseudodifferential operators on groupoids to study geometric operators on non-compact manifolds and singular spaces. The first step is to establish that the geometric operators are in our algebras. This then leads to…

Let $\Gamma$ be a finitely generated discrete exact group. We consider operators on $l^2(\Gamma)$ which are composed by operators of multiplication by a function in $l^\infty (\Gamma)$ and by the operators of left-shift by elements of…

We review previous work on spectral flow in connection with certain self-adjoint model operators $\{A(t)\}_{t\in \mathbb{R}}$ on a Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$, joining endpoints $A_\pm$, and the index of the operator $D_{A}^{}= (d/d t) + A$…

Let $(-A,B,C)$ be a continuous time linear system with state space a separable complex Hilbert space $H$, where $-A$ generates a strongly continuous contraction semigroup $(e^{-tA})_{t\geq 0}$ on $H$, and $\phi (t)=Ce^{-tA}B$ is the impulse…

This paper is a continuation of arXiv:0706.3511, where we obtained a local index formula for matrix elliptic operators with shifts. Here we establish a cohomological index formula of Atiyah-Singer type for elliptic differential operators…
