We consider a complete Riemannian manifold M whose boundary is a disjoint union of finitely many complete connected Riemannian manifolds. We compute the index of a local boundary value problem for a strongly Callias-type operator on M. Our…
On a periodic planar graph whose edge weights satisfy a certain simple geometric condition, the discrete Laplacian and d-bar operators have the property that their determinants and inverses only depend on the local geometry of the graph. We…
A fundamental idea in toric topology is that classes of manifolds with well-behaved torus actions (simply, toric spaces) are classified by pairs of simplicial complexes and (non-singular) characteristic maps. The authors in their previous…
We consider differential operators $L$ acting on functions on a Riemannian surface, $\Sigma$, of the form $$L = \Delta + V -a K ,$$where $\Delta$ is the Laplacian of $\Sigma$, $K$ is the Gaussian curvature, $a$ is a positive constant and $V…
For a K\"ahler Manifold $M$, the "symplectic Dolbeault operators" are defined using the symplectic spinors and associated Dirac operators, in complete analogy to how the usual Dolbeault operators, $\bar\partial$ and $\bar\partial^*$, arise…
We study Kohn-Dirac operators $D_\theta$ on strictly pseudoconvex CR manifolds with ${\rm spin}^{\mathbb C}$ structure of weight $\ell\in{\mathbb Z}$. Certain components of $D_\theta$ are CR invariants. We also derive CR invariant twistor…

We generalize Roe's index theorem for graded generalized Dirac operators on amenable manifolds to multigraded elliptic uniform pseudodifferential operators. This generalization will follow as a corollary from a local index theorem that is…
We investigate the problem of calculating the Fredholm index of a geometric Dirac operator subject to local (e.g. Dirichlet and Neumann) and non-local (APS) boundary conditions posed on the strata of a manifold with corners. The boundary…
We consider a smooth hyper-surface Z of a closed Riemannian manifold X. Let P be the Poisson operator associating to a smooth function on Z its harmonic extension on X\Z. If A is a pseudo-differential operator on X of degree <3, we prove…
We study families of Dirac-type operators, with compatible perturbations, associated to wedge metrics on stratified spaces. We define a closed domain and, under an assumption of invertible boundary families, prove that the operators are…
Fundamental solutions of Dirac type operators are introduced for a class of conformally flat manifolds. This class consists of manifolds obtained by factoring out the upper half-space of $\mathbb{R}^n$ by arithmetic subgroups of generalized…
On manifolds with non-trivial Killing tensors admitting a square root of the Killing-Yano type one can construct non-standard Dirac operators which differ from, but commute with, the standard Dirac operator. We relate the index problem for…
A new proof of the conformal covariance of the powers of the flat Dirac operator is obtained. The proof uses their relation with the Knapp-Stein intertwining operators for the spinorial principal series. We also treat the compact picture,…
Relating the Dirac operators on the total space and on the base manifold of a horizontally conformal submersion, we characterize Dirac morphisms, i.e. maps which pull back (local) harmonic spinor fields onto (local) harmonic spinor fields.
We consider the classical Dirac operator on globally hyperbolic manifolds with timelike boundary and show well-posedness of the Cauchy initial-boundary value problem coupled to APS-boundary conditions. This is achieved by deriving suitable…

We give more details about an integrable system in which the Dirac operator D=d+d^* on a finite simple graph G or Riemannian manifold M is deformed using a Hamiltonian system D'=[B,h(D)] with B=d-d^* + i b. The deformed operator D(t) = d(t)…
On any manifold M^n, the de Rham operator D=d+d^* (with respect to a complete Riemannian metric), with the grading of forms by parity of degree, gives rise by Kasparov theory to a class [D] in KO_0(M), which when M is closed maps to the…
The Dirac equation with mass and axial chemical potential is solved analytically obtaining the mode spinors and corresponding projection operators giving the spectral representations of the principal conserved operators. In this framework,…
