Let (M^n, g) be a closed smooth Riemannian spin manifold and denote by D its Atiyah-Singer-Dirac operator. We study the variation of Riemannian metrics for the zeta function and functional determinant of D^2, and prove finiteness of the…

We review the concepts of the index of a Fredholm operator, the spectral flow of a curve of self-adjoint Fredholm operators, the Maslov index of a curve of Lagrangian subspaces in symplectic Hilbert space, and the eta invariant of operators…

A finite non-commutative geometry consists of a fuzzy space together with a Dirac operator satisfying the axioms of a real spectral triple. This paper addreses the question of how to extract information about these geometries from the…

Symplectic spinors form an infinite-rank vector bundle. Dirac operators on this bundle were constructed recently by K.~Habermann. Here we study the spectral geometry aspects of these operators. In particular, we define the associated…

In this work, we consider Dirac-type operators with a constant delay less than half of the interval and not less than two-fifths of the interval. For our considered Dirac-type operators, two inverse spectral problems are studied.…

Spectral boundary conditions for Laplace-type operators, of interest in string and brane theory, are partly Dirichlet, partly Neumann-type conditions, partitioned by a pseudodifferential projection. We give sufficient conditions for…

Precise asymptotics known for the Green's function of the Laplace operator have found their analogs for periodic elliptic operators of the second order at and below the bottom of the spectrum. Due to the band-gap structure of the spectra of…

We consider the self-adjoint operator $H=H_0+V$, where $H_0$ is the free semi-classical Dirac operator on $R^3$. We suppose that the smooth matrix-valued potential $V=O(<x>^{-\delta}), \delta>0,$ has an analytic continuation in a complex…

We extend several classical eigenvalue estimates for Dirac operators on compact manifolds to noncompact, even incomplete manifolds. This includes Friedrich's estimate for manifolds with positive scalar curvature as well as the author's…

We consider the direct and inverse spectral problems for Dirac operators that are generated by the differential expressions $$ \mathfrak t_q:=\frac{1}{i}[I&0 0&-I]\frac{d}{dx}+[0&q q^*&0] $$ and some separated boundary conditions. Here $q$…

As an outgrowth of our investigation of non-regular spaces within the context of quantum gravity and non-commutative geometry, we develop a graph Hilbert space framework on arbitrary (infinite) graphs and use it to study spectral properties…

Fractional charges, and in particular the spectral asymmetry eta of certain Dirac operators, can appear in the central charge of supersymmetric field theories. This yields unexpected analyticity constraints on eta from which classic results…

The eigenvalues of the Dirac operator on a curved spacetime are diffeomorphism-invariant functions of the geometry. They form an infinite set of ``observables'' for general relativity. Recent work of Chamseddine and Connes suggests that…
