An index theory for projective families of elliptic pseudodifferential operators is developed when the twisting, i.e. Dixmier-Douady, class is decomposable. One of the features of this special case is that the corresponding Azumaya bundle…

Two sets of spatially diffeomorphism invariant operators are constructed in the loop representation formulation of quantum gravity. This is done by coupling general relativity to an anti- symmetric tensor gauge field and using that field to…

In this survey, symmetry provides a framework for classification of manifolds with differential-geometric structures. We highlight pseudo-Riemannian metrics, conformal structures, and projective structures. A range of techniques have been…
Machine learning has been progressively generalised to operate within non-Euclidean domains, but geometrically accurate methods for learning on surfaces are still falling behind. The lack of closed-form Riemannian operators, the…
We investigate reductions of the two-dimensional Dirac equation imposed by the requirement of the existence of a differential operator $D_n$ of order $n$ mapping its eigenfunctions to adjoint eigenfunctions. For first order operators these…
The space of Fredholm operators of fixed index is stratified by submanifolds according to the dimension of the kernel. Geometric considerations often lead to questions about the intersections of concrete families of elliptic operators with…
In this paper we carry out analysis and geometry for a class of infinite dimensional manifolds, namely, compound configuration spaces as a natural generalization of the work \cite{AKR97}. More precisely a differential geometry is…
The geometric approach to diffeomorphic image registration known as "large deformation by diffeomorphic metric mapping" (LDDMM) is based on a left action of diffeomorphisms on images, and a right-invariant metric on a diffeomorphism group,…
Much recent work has addressed the solution of a family of partial differential equations by computing the inverse operator map between the input and solution space. Toward this end, we incorporate function-valued reproducing kernel Hilbert…
