We examine the $L^2$-topology of the gauge orbits over a closed Riemann surface. We prove a subtle local slice theorem based on the div-curl Lemma of harmonic analysis, and deduce local pathwise connectedness and local uniform…

We consider compact locally symmetric spaces $\Gamma\backslash G/H$ where $G/H$ is a non-compact semisimple symmetric space and $\Gamma$ is a discrete subgroup of $G$. We discuss some features of the joint spectrum of the (commutative)…

Roe's partitioned manifold index theorem applies when a complete Riemannian manifold $M$ is cut into two pieces along a compact hypersurface $N$. It states that a version of the index of a Dirac operator on $M$ localized to $N$ equals the…

We consider a complete Riemannian manifold, which consists of a compact interior and one or more $\varphi$-cusps: infinitely long ends of a type that includes cylindrical ends and hyperbolic cusps. Here $\varphi$ is a function of the radial…

We investigate the spectral and index-theoretic properties of the Hodge-Dirac operator $D = \mathrm{d} + \mathrm{d}^*$ acting on the Banach space $\mathrm{L}^p(\Omega^\bullet(M))$ of differential forms over a compact Riemannian manifold…

Given a globally hyperbolic spacetime $M$, we show the existence of a {\em smooth spacelike} Cauchy hypersurface $S$ and, thus, a global diffeomorphism between $M$ and $\R \times S$.

For closed connected Riemannian spin manifolds an upper estimate of the smallest eigenvalue of the Dirac operator in terms of the hyperspherical radius is proved. When combined with known lower Dirac eigenvalue estimates, this has a number…

The Cauchy problem for harmonic maps from Minkowski space with its standard flat metric to a certain non-constant curvature Lorentzian 2-metric is studied. The target manifold is distinguished by the fact that the Euler-Lagrange equation…

The Cauchy problem for the classical Dirac-Klein-Gordon system in two space dimensions is globally well-posed for L^2 Schoedinger data and wave data in H^{1/2} \times H^{-1/2}. In the case of smooth data there exists a global smooth…

A Dirac operator on a complete manifold is Fredholm if it is invertible outside a compact set. Assuming a compact group to act on all relevant structure, and the manifold to have a warped product structure outside such a compact set, we…
