When aiming to apply mathematical results of non-commutative geometry to physical problems the question arises how they translate to a context in which only a part of the spectrum is known. In this article we aim to detect when a…

We prove a new upper bound for the first eigenvalue of the Dirac operator of a compact hypersurface in any Riemannian spin manifold carrying a non-trivial twistor spinor without zeros on the hypersurface. The upper bound is expressed as the…

This work reconsiders the holomorphic and anti-holomorphic Dirac operators of Hermitian Clifford analysis to determine whether or not they are the natural generalization of the orthogonal Dirac operator to spaces with complex structure. We…

Let $M$ be a closed connected spin manifold of dimension $2$ or $3$ with a fixed orientation and a fixed spin structure. We prove that for a generic Riemannian metric on $M$ the non-harmonic eigenspinors of the Dirac operator are nowhere…

Higher order higher spin operators are generalizations of $kth$-powers of the Dirac operator. In this paper, we study higher order higher spin operators defined on some conformally flat manifolds, namely cylinders and Hopf manifolds. We…

We construct a canonical geometrically realised Connes spectral triple or `Dirac operator' $D\!\!\!/$ from the data of a quantum metric $g\in \Omega^1\otimes_A\Omega^1$ and quantum Levi-Civita bimodule connection, at the pre-Hilbert space…

A Dirac-type operator on a complete Riemannian manifold is of Callias-type if its square is a Schr\"{o}dinger-type operator with a potential uniformly positive outside of a compact set. We develop the theory of Callias-type operators…

A new concept of geometrization of electromagnetic field is proposed. Instead of the concept of extended field and its point sources, the interacting Maxwellian and Dirac electron--positron fields are considered as a microscopic unified…

We calculate the index of the Dirac operator defined on the q-deformed fuzzy sphere. The index of the Dirac operator is related to its net chiral zero modes and thus to the trace of the chirality operator. We show that for the q-deformed…
