In order to facilitate the comparison of Riemannian homogeneous spaces of compact Lie groups with noncommutative geometries ("quantizations") that approximate them, we develop here the basic facts concerning equivariant vector bundles and…
We introduce a $\mathbb{C}/\mathbb{Z}$-valued invariant of a foliated manifold with a stable framing and with a partially flat vector bundle. This invariant can be expressed in terms of integration in differential $K$-theory, or…
Let $G$ be a compact connected Lie group, and $M$ a compact Hamiltonian $G$-space, with moment map $J$. For each $G$-equivariant Hermitian vector bundle $E$ over $M$, one has an associated twisted Spin-C Dirac operator, whose equivariant…
For a closed, spin, odd dimensional Riemannian manifold $(Y,g)$, we define the rho invariant $\rho_{spin}(Y,E,H, g)$ for the twisted Dirac operator $D^E_H$ on $Y$, acting on sections of a flat hermitian vector bundle $E$ over $Y$, where $H…
We study the asymptotic of the spectrum of the \spin Dirac operator on high tensor powers of a line bundle. As application, we get a simple proof of the main result of Guillemin-Uribe, which was originally proved by using the analysis of…
It is shown that the determinant line bundle associated to a family of Dirac operators over a closed partitioned manifold has a canonical Hermitian metric with compatible connection whose curvature satisfies an additivity formula with…
This seminal paper marks the beginning of our investigation into on the spectral theory based on $S$-spectrum applied to the Dirac operator on manifolds. Specifically, we examine in detail the cases of the Dirac operator $\mathcal{D}_H$ on…
In the gauge theory approach to the geometric Langlands program, ramification can be described in terms of ``surface operators,'' which are supported on two-dimensional surfaces somewhat as Wilson or 't Hooft operators are supported on…
Along the lines of the classic Hodge-De Rham theory a general decomposition theorem for sections of a Dirac bundle over a compact Riemannian manifold is proved by extending concepts as exterior derivative and coderivative as well as as…
We remark that the standard black hole topology admits twisted configurations of spinor field due to existence of the twisted spinor bundles and analyse them using the Schwarzschild black hole as an example. This is physically linked with…
We construct a novel orientifold of type IIB string theory that breaks all supersymmetries. It is a closed string theory without open sector and it can be understood as a Scherk-Schwarz deformation in which supersymmetry is restored at…
We study baryonic operators of the gauge theory on multiple D3-branes at the tip of the conifold orbifolded by a discrete subgroup Gamma of SU(2). The string theory analysis predicts that the number and the order of the fixed points of…
Let $M$ be an oriented even-dimensional Riemannian manifold on which a discrete group $\Gamma$ of orientation-preserving isometries acts freely, so that the quotient $X=M/\Gamma$ is compact. We prove a vanishing theorem for a half-kernel of…
For a commutative ring $R$, we define the notions of deformed Picard algebroids and deformed twisted differential operators on a smooth, separated, locally of finite type $R$-scheme and prove these are in a natural bijection. We then define…
Consider a spin manifold M, equipped with a line bundle L and an action of a compact Lie group G. We can attach to this data a family Theta(k) of distributions on the dual of the Lie algebra of G. The aim of this paper is to study the…
The problem of self-adjoint extensions of Dirac-type operators in manifolds with boundaries is analysed. The boundaries might be regular or non-regular. The latter situation includes point-like interactions, also called delta-like…
On a compact spin manifold we study the space of Riemannian metrics for which the Dirac operator is invertible. The first main result is a surgery theorem stating that such a metric can be extended over the trace of a surgery of codimension…
In this paper, we introduce the spectral Einstein functional for perturbations of Dirac operators on manifolds with boundary. Furthermore, we provide the proof of the Dabrowski-Sitarz-Zalecki type theorems associated with the spectral…
Motivated by Wigner's theorem, a canonical construction is described that produces an Atiyah-Singer Dirac operator with both unitary and anti-unitary symmetries. This Dirac operator includes the Dirac operator for KR-theory as a special…
We propose a continuous Wick rotation for Dirac, Majorana and Weyl spinors from Minkowski spacetime to Euclidean space which treats fermions on the same footing as bosons. The result is a recipe to construct a supersymmetric Euclidean…
