We consider a hyperbolic Dirac-type operator with growing potential on a a spatially non-compact globally hyperbolic manifold. We show that the Atiyah-Patodi-Singer boundary value problem for such operator is Fredholm and obtain a formula…
John Lott has computed an integer-valued signature for the orbit space of a compact orientable $(4k+1)$ manifold with a semi-free $S^1$-action, which is a homotopy invariant of that space, but he did not construct a Dirac type operator…
An odd Fredholm module for a given invertible operator on a Hilbert space is specified by an unbounded so-called Dirac operator with compact resolvent and bounded commutator with the given invertible. Associated to this is an index pairing…
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…
The cobordism invariance of the index on closed manifolds is reproved using the calculus of cusp pseudodifferential operators on a manifold with boundary. More generally, on a compact manifold with corners, the existence of a symmetric cusp…

This is an expository paper which gives a proof of the Atiyah-Singer index theorem for Dirac operators, presenting the theorem as a computation of the K-homology of a point. This paper and its follow up ("K-homology and index theory II:…
We consider a complete Riemannian manifold, which consists of a compact interior and one or more $\varphi$-cusps: infinitely long ends of a type that includes cylindrical ends and hyperbolic cusps. Here $\varphi$ is a function of the radial…
Generalizing work of W. M\"uller we investigate the spectral theory for the Dirac operator D on a noncompact manifold X with generalized fibred cusps $$ C(M)=M\times [A,\infty[_r, g= d r^2+ \phi^*g_Y+ e^{-2cr}g_Z, $$ at infinity. Here…
We study index theory on homogeneous spaces associated to an almost connected Lie group in terms of the topological aspect and the analytic aspect. On the topological aspect, we obtain a topological formula as a result of the Riemann-Roch…

A families index theorem in K-theory is given for the setting of Atiyah, Patodi and Singer of a family of Dirac operators with spectral boundary condition. This result is deduced from such a K-theory index theorem for the calculus of cusp,…
We revisit an argument due to Lesch (Topology 32 (1993), no. 3, 611-623) for proving the cobordism invariance of the index of Dirac operators on even-dimensional closed manifolds and combine this with recent work by the author (New York J.…
This paper is devoted to Fredholm realizations of semi-Fredholm operators in a Hilbert space. Such a realization is determined by an abstract boundary condition, which is a subspace of the space of abstract boundary values. We find the…
We extend the relative index theorem on non-compact manifolds to encompass a wide variety of hypoelliptic differential operators of arbitrary order, demonstrating that the change in index when changing a differential operator locally can be…
