Let $f: X\to {\Bbb C}P^1$ be a meromorphic function of degree $N$ with simple poles and simple critical points on a compact Riemann surface $X$ of genus $g$ and let $\mathsf m$ be the standard round metric of curvature $1$ on the Riemann…
Given a compact Riemann surface $X$, we consider the line, in the space of sections of $2\Theta$ on $J^0(X)$, orthogonal to all the sections that vanish at the origin. This line produces a natural meromorphic bidifferential on $X\times X$…

Let $a\in (0,1)$ and let $F_s(a)$ be the periodized zeta function that is defined as $F_s(a) = \sum n^{-s} \exp (2\pi i na)$ for $\Re s >1$, and extended to the complex plane via analytic continuation. Let $s_n = \sigma_n + it_n, \, t_n >0…
Placing a Dirac-Schr\"odinger operator along the orbit of a flow on a compact manifold \(M\) defines an \(\R\)-equivariant spectral triple over the algebra of smooth functions on \(M\). We study some of the properties of these triples,…
