We study the spectral functional tr f(D+A) for a suitable function f, a self-adjoint operator D having compact resolvent, and a certain class of bounded self-adjoint operators A. Such functionals were introduce by Chamseddine and Connes in…

We introduce an appropriate notion of trace in the setting of quaternionic linear operators, arising from the well-known companion matrices. We then use this notion to define the quaternionic Fredholm determinant of trace-class operators in…

The canonical trace and the Wodzicki residue on classical pseudodifferential operators on a closed manifold are characterised by their locality and shown to be preserved under lifting to the universal covering as a result of their local…

We introduce a new approach to traces on the principal ideal $\mathcal L_{1,\infty}$ generated by any positive compact operator whose singular value sequence is the harmonic sequence. Distinct from the well-known construction of J.~Dixmier,…

The Chern character of a complex vector bundle is most conveniently defined as the exponential of a curvature of a connection. It is well known that its cohomology class does not depend on the particular connection chosen. It has been shown…

In 1934, Whitney raised the question of how to recognize whether a function f defined on a closed subset X of Euclidean space is the restriction of a function that is continuously differentiable to order p. A necessary and sufficient…

We compute the $K$-theory of comparison $C^*$-algebra associated to a manifold with corners. These comparison algebras are an example of the abstract pseudodifferential algebras introduced by Connes and Moscovici \cite{M3}. Our calculation…

A stratification of a singular set, e.g. an algebraic or analytic variety, is, roughly, a partition of it into manifolds so that these manifolds fit together "regularly". A classical theorem of Whitney says that any complex analytic set has…

Stiefel-Whitney classes are invariants of the tangent bundle of a smooth manifold, represented as cohomology classes of the base manifold. These classes are essential in obstruction theory, embedding problems, and cobordism theory. In this…

Given a separable unital C*-algebra A, let E denote the Banach-space completion of the A-valued Schwartz space on Rn with norm induced by the A-valued inner product $<f,g>=\int f(x)^*g(x) dx$. The assignment of the pseudodifferential…

The central result here is an explicit computation of the Hochschild and cyclic homologies of a natural smooth subalgebra of stable continuous trace algebras having smooth manifolds X as their spectrum. More precisely, the Hochschild…

For a finite rank projective bundle over a compact manifold, so associated to a torsion, Dixmier-Douady, 3-class, w, on the manifold, we define the ring of differential operators `acting on sections of the projective bundle' in a formal…

In this paper we study twisted traces of products of intertwining operators for quantum affine algebras. They are interesting special functions, depending on two weights lambda, mu, three scalar parameters q, omega, k, and spectral…

A theorem of N. Katz \cite{Ka} p.45, states that an irreducible differential operator $L$ over a suitable differential field $k$, which has an isotypical decomposition over the algebraic closure of $k$, is a tensor product $L=M\otimes_k N$…

Let $G$ be a compact Lie group acting on a compact complex manifold $M$. We prove a trace density formula for the $G$-Lefschetz number of a differential operator on $M$. We generalize Engeli and Felder's recent results to orbifolds.

In this paper we prove a version of Connes' trace theorem for noncommutative tori of any dimension~$n\geq 2$. This allows us to recover and improve earlier versions of this result in dimension $n=2$ and $n=4$ by Fathizadeh-Khalkhali. We…

We present an index theorem for certain hypoelliptic differential operators on foliated manifolds. Our proof is a development of Alain Connes tangent groupoid proof of the Atiyah-Singer index theorem. The paper is largely self-contained.

Let $M$ be a compact manifold. and $D$ a Dirac type differential operator on $M$. Let $A$ be a $C^*$-algebra. Given a bundle $W$ of $A$-modules over $M$ (with connection), the operator $D$ can be twisted with this bundle. One can then use a…

We obtain a family of polynomials defined by vanishing conditions and associated to tangles. We study more specifically the case where they are related to a O(n) loop model. We conjecture that their specializations at $z_i=1$ are {\it…

In this paper we prove geometric residue theorems for bundle maps over a compact manifold. The theory developed associates residues to the singularity submanifolds of the map for any invariant polynomial. The theory is then applied to a…
