We consider families $A(t)$ of self-adjoint operators with symmetry that causes the spectral flow of the family to vanish. We study the secondary $\mathbb{Z}_2$-valued spectral flow of such families. We prove an analog of the…

We investigate numerically the spectral flow introduced by Adams for the staggered Dirac operator on realistic gauge configurations. We study both the unimproved and the HISQ Dirac operators. We compare the spectral flow index with the…

Placing a Dirac-Schr\"odinger operator along the orbit of a flow on a compact manifold \(M\) defines an \(\R\)-equivariant spectral triple over the algebra of smooth functions on \(M\). We study some of the properties of these triples,…

In this Thesis, we study the behavior of spectral curves of quantum graphs under certain families of vertex conditions, called the $\delta_s$ family, which we define in this work. We focus on studying two main quantities related to the…

In this article, we study several closely related invariants associated to Dirac operators on odd-dimensional manifolds with boundary with an action of the compact group $H$ of isometries. In particular, the equality between equivariant…

The Vafa-Witten equations (with or without a mass term) constitute a non-linear, first order system of differential equations on a given oriented, compact, Riemannian 4-manifold. Because these are the variational equations of a functional,…

A family of maps or flows depending on a parameter $\nu$ which varies in an interval, spans a certain property if along the interval this property depends continuously on the parameter and achieves some asymptotic values along it. We…

Let M be an even dimensional compact Riemannian manifold with boundary and let D be a Dirac operator acting on the sections of the Clifford module E over M. We impose certain local elliptic boundary conditions for D obtaining a selfadjoint…

We extend the notion of a spectral triple to that of a higher-order relative spectral triple, which accommodates several types of hypoelliptic differential operators on manifolds with boundary. The bounded transform of a higher-order…

We define a spectral flow for paths of selfadjoint Fredholm operators that are equivariant under the orthogonal action of a compact Lie group as an element of the representation ring of the latter. This $G$-equivariant spectral flow shares…

We present a definition of spectral flow relative to any norm closed ideal J in any von Neumann algebra N. Given a path D(t) of selfadjoint operators in N which are invertible in N/J, the spectral flow produces a class in K_0(J). In the…

We define a parabolic flow of pluriclosed metrics. This flow is of the same family introduced by the authors in \cite{ST}. We study the relationship of the existence of the flow and associated static metrics topological information on the…

In 2005 a new topological invariant defined in terms of the Brouwer degree of a determinant map, was introduced by Musso, Pejsachowicz and the first name author for counting the conjugate points along a semi-Riemannian geodesic. This…

In this article we construct what we call a higher spectral sequence for any chain complex (or topological space) that is filtered in $n$ compatible ways. For this we extend the previous spectral system construction of the author, and we…

We review the spectral flow techniques for computing the index of the overlap Dirac operator including results relevant for SUSY Yang-Mills theories. We describe properties of the overlap Dirac operator, and methods to implement it…

Callias-type (or Dirac-Schr\"odinger) operators associated to abstract semifinite spectral triples are introduced and their indices are computed in terms of an associated index pairing derived from the spectral triple. The result is then…

We use the functorial properties of Rieffel's pseudodifferential calculus to study families of operators associated to topological dynamical systems acted by a symplectic space. Information about the spectra and the essential spectra are…

We derive a decomposition formula for the spectral flow of a 1-parameter family of self-adjoint Dirac operators on an odd-dimensional manifold $M$ split along a hypersurface $\Sigma$ ($M=X\cup_{\Sigma} Y$). No transversality or stretching…

We review the concepts of the index of a Fredholm operator, the spectral flow of a curve of self-adjoint Fredholm operators, the Maslov index of a curve of Lagrangian subspaces in symplectic Hilbert space, and the eta invariant of operators…

One may trace the idea that spectral flow should be given as the integral of a one form back to the 1974 Vancouver ICM address of I.M. Singer. Our main theorem gives analytic formulae for the spectral flow along a norm differentiable path…
