In this paper we prove that Dirac operators on non-compact complete orbifolds which are sufficiently regular at infinity, admit a unique extension. Additonally, we prove a generalized orbifold Stokes'/Divergence theorem.
In this lecture I will report on some recent progress in understanding the relation of Dirac operators on Clifford modules over an even-dimensional closed Riemannian manifold $M$\ and (euclidean) Einstein-Yang-Mills-Higgs models.
We give numerous examples of almost Lie algebroids arising as Dirac structures in pre-Courant algebroids, e.g. from twisted Poisson structures, as well as from twisted actions of a Lie algebra. We moreover define a cohomology for them,…
Up to equivalence, this paper classifies all the irreducible unitary representations with non-zero Dirac cohomology for the following simple real exceptional Lie groups: ${\rm EI}=E_{6(6)}, {\rm EIV}=E_{6(-26)}, {\rm FI}=F_{4(4)}, {\rm…
We present the results of computation of cohomology for some Lie (super)algebras of Hamiltonian vector fields and related algebras. At present, the full cohomology rings for these algebras are not known even for the low dimensional vector…
We establish that for the type I Lie superalgebras $sl(m/n)$ and $osp(2/2n)$, each Kac module admits a 1 parameter family of indecomposable double extensions. The result follows from the explicit evaluation of the $H^1$ Lie superalgebra…
We present the construction of the classical Batalin-Vilkovisky action for topological Dirac sigma models. The latter are two-dimensional topological field theories that simultaneously generalise the completely gauged…
Let $F$ be a totally real field in which $p$ is unramified. We prove that, if a cuspidal overconvergent Hilbert cuspidal form has small slopes under $U_p$-operators, then it is classical. Our method follows the original cohomological…
The exact solutions of the (2+1) dimensional Dirac equation on the torus and the new extension and generalization of the trigonometric Poschl-Teller potential families in terms of the torus parameters are obtained. Supersymmetric quantum…
These are introductory notes on the study of the Dirac equation in curved spacetime and its relation to hidden symmetries of the dynamics. We present general results on the relation between special spacetime tensors and hidden symmetries,…
We construct a canonical geometrically realised Connes spectral triple or `Dirac operator' $D\!\!\!/$ from the data of a quantum metric $g\in \Omega^1\otimes_A\Omega^1$ and quantum Levi-Civita bimodule connection, at the pre-Hilbert space…
We study higher-order analogues of Dirac structures, extending the multisymplectic structures that arise in field theory. We define higher Dirac structures as involutive subbundles of $TM+\wedge^k TM^*$ satisfying a weak version of the…
Let K be the Lie superalgebra of contact vector fields on the supersymmetric line. We compute the action of K on the modules of differential and pseudodifferential operators between spaces of tensor densities, in terms of their conformal…
For any rank-one Riemannian symmetric space S of non-compact type and any discrete, cofinite, non-cocompact, torsion-free group $\Gamma$ of orientation-preserving Riemannian isometries on S, we develop a cohomological interpretation for the…
In this paper we determine solutions for the L\'evy-Leblond operator or a parabolic Dirac operator in terms of hypergeometric functions and spherical harmonics. We subsequently generalise our approach to a wider class of Dirac operators…
We study the notion of a Dirac operator in the framework of twist-deformed noncommutative geometry. We provide a number of well-motivated candidate constructions and propose a minimal set of axioms that a noncommutative Dirac operator…
We propose a symmetry of the Dirac equation under the interchange of signs of eigenvalues of the Dirac's $K$ operator. We show that the only potential which obeys this requirement is the Coulomb one for both vector and scalar cases.…
We investigate the spectrum of the spin Dirac operator on families of hyperbolic surfaces where a set of disjoint simple geodesics shrink to $0$, under the hypothesis that the spin structure is non-trivial along each pinched geodesic. The…
In the high-energy physics literature one finds statements such as ``matrix algebras converge to the sphere''. Earlier I provided a general precise setting for understanding such statements, in which the matrix algebras are viewed as…
We consider a invariant Dirac operator D on a manifold with a proper and cocompact action of a discrete group G. It gives rise to an equivariant K-homology class [D]. We show how the index of the induced orbifold Dirac operator can be…
