We prove an index formula for the Dirac operator acting on two-valued spinors on a $3$-manifold $M$ which branch along a smoothly embedded graph $\Sigma \subset M$, and with respect to a boundary condition along $\Sigma$ inspired by an…
The purpose of this paper is twofold. One is to enrich from a geometrical point of view the theory of octonionic slice regular functions. We first prove a boundary Schwarz lemma for slice regular self-mappings of the open unit ball of the…
For any $n$-dimensional compact spin Riemannian manifold $M$ with a given spin structure and a spinor bundle $\Sigma M$, and any compact Riemannian manifold $N$, we show an $\epsilon$-regularity theorem for weakly Dirac-harmonic maps . As a…
In this thesis, we show the existence of a sequence of differential operators starting with with the Dirac operator in k Clifford variables, $D=(D_1,..., D_k)$, where $D_i=\sum_j e_j\cdot \partial_{ij}: C^\infty((\R^n)^k,\S)\to…
This paper is concerned with a class of generalized slice Fueter-regular functions on arbitrary domains in O with local stem functions. Some classical theorems such as the maximum modulus principle will be generalized to our setting. Some…
This work presents the basic elements and results of a Clifford algebra valued fractional slice monogenic functions theory defined from the null-solutions of a suitably fractional Cauchy-Riemann operator in the Riemann-Liouville and Caputo…
The Dirac equation may be thought as originating from a theory of five-dimensional (5D) space-time. We define a special 5D Clifford algebra and introduce a spin-1/2 constraint equation to describe null propagation in a 5D space-time…
By requiring unambiguous symmetric quantization leading to the Dirac equation in a curved space, we obtain a special representation of the spin connections in terms of the Dirac gamma matrices and their space-time derivatives. We also…
Let $V$ be a $C^1$-vector field on an $n$-dimensional complete Riemannian manifold $(M, g)$. We prove a Liouville theorem for $V$-harmonic maps satisfying various growth conditions from complete Riemannian manifolds with non-negative $(m,…
We use the Dirac operator method to prove a scalar-mean curvature comparison theorem for spin manifolds which carry iterated conical singularities. Our approach is to study the index theory of a twisted Dirac operator on such singular…
In this paper we study some fundamental algebraic properties of slice functions and slice regular functions over an alternative $^*$-algebra $A$ over $\mathbb{R}$. These recently introduced function theories generalize to higher dimensions…
We study Dirac operators acting on sections of a Clifford module ${\cal E}$\ over a Riemannian manifold $M$. We prove the intrinsic decomposition formula for their square, which is the generalisation of the well-known formula due to…
Entire functions in one complex variable are extremely relevant in several areas ranging from the study of convolution equations to special functions. An analog of entire functions in the quaternionic setting can be defined in the slice…
The linearization of a quadratic form gives rise to a Clifford algebra structure, as seen in Dirac's factorization of the d'Alembert operator. A similar structure known as a generalized Clifford algebra arises from the continuation of this…
We establish an S^1-equivariant index theorem for Dirac operators on Z/k-manifolds. As an application, we generalize the Atiyah-Hirzebruch vanishing theorem for S^1-actions on closed spin manifolds to the case of Z/k-manifolds.
The Standard Model of particle physics is derived from first principles from the free Dirac Lagrangian in 8-dimensional spacetime. Motivated by second quantization arguments, we embed the 4-dimensional Clifford algebra of the Dirac…
The paper discusses the Nonlinear Dirac Equation with Kerr-type nonlinearity (i.e., $\psi^{p-2}\psi$) on noncompact metric graphs with a finite number of edges, in the case of Kirchhoff-type vertex conditions. Precisely, we prove local…
Z2-gradings of Clifford algebras are reviewed and we shall be concerned with an alpha-grading based on the structure of inner automorphisms, which is closely related to the spacetime splitting, if we consider the standard conjugation map…
We develop two connections between the quantitative framework of operator $K$-theory for geometric $C^*$-algebras and the problem of positive scalar curvature. First, we introduce a quantitative notion of higher index and use it to give a…
Recently, the concept of generalized partial-slice monogenic (or regular) functions has been introduced and studied over Clifford algebras and octonions, respectively. In this paper, we further develop the theory of generalized…
