In this paper we use methods of Liu to show that the twisted Dirac operators $D$ on certain bundles $\Phi$ considered by Guan and Wang are rigid. To do so, we use a Lefschetz formula and Atiyah-Bott localization to obtain formulas for the…

We prove an extension to R^n, endowed with a suitable metric, of the relation between the Einstein-Hilbert action and the Dirac operator which holds on closed spin manifolds. By means of complex powers, we first define the regularised…

Using the index theory for twisted Dirac operators acting on sections of Lipschitz bundles over non-compact manifolds, we prove Llarull-type comparison results in scalar curvature geometry. They apply to spin Riemannian manifolds with…

In this paper the Gromov-Witten invariants on a class of noncompact symplectic manifolds are defined by combining Ruan-Tian's method with that of McDuff-Salamon. The main point of the arguments is to introduce a method dealing with the…

Following the idea of Lusztig, Atiyah-Hirzebruch and Kosniowski, we note that the Dolbeault-type operators on compact, almost-complex manifolds are rigid. When the circle action has isolated fixed points, this rigidity result will produce…

Let $M$ be a $Spin$-manifold with $S^1$-action and let $\sigma \in S^1$ be of finite order. We show that the indices of certain twisted Dirac operators vanish if the action of $\sigma $ has sufficiently large fixed point codimension. These…
