We find sufficient conditions for the absence of harmonic $L^2$ spinors on spin manifolds constructed as cone bundles over a compact K\"ahler base. These conditions are fulfilled for certain perturbations of the Euclidean metric, and also…

The paper deals with the Dirac operator generated on the finite interval $[0,\pi]$ by the differential expression $-B\mathbf{y}'+Q(x)\mathbf{y}$, where $$ B=\begin{pmatrix}0&1\\-1&0\end{pmatrix},\qquad…

We study a class of localized indices for the Dirac type operators on a complete Riemannian orbifold, where a discrete group acts properly, co-compactly and isometrically. These localized indices, generalizing the $L^2$-index of Atiyah, are…

We generalize Roe's index theorem for graded generalized Dirac operators on amenable manifolds to multigraded elliptic uniform pseudodifferential operators. The generalization will follow from a local index theorem that is valid on any…

We revisit a construction principle of Fredholm operators using Hilbert complexes of densely defined, closed linear operators and apply this to particular choices of differential operators. The resulting index is then computed with the help…

We estimate the behavior of the generalized eigenfunctions of critical Dirac operators (which are Dirac operators with eigenfunctions and/or resonances for $E=m$) plus small perturbations in the potential. The results also apply for other…

Normality of the Dirac operator is shown to be necessary for chiral properties. From the global chiral Ward identity, which in the continuum limit gives the index theorem, a sum rule results which constrains the spectrum. The…

Let $(M,L)$ be a (compact) non-spin spin$^c$ manifold. Fix a Riemannian metric $g$ on $M$ and a connection $A$ on $L$, and let $D_L$ be the associated spin$^c$ Dirac operator. Let $R^{tw}_{(g,A)}:=R_g + 2ic(\Omega)$ be the twisted scalar…

We extract the square root of the Minkowski metric using Dirac/Clifford matrices. The resulting $4\times 4$ operator $d{\bf S}$ that represents the square root, can be used to transform four vectors between relatively moving observers. This…

We introduce and study invariant differential operators acting on the space $\mathcal{H}(\Omega)$ of holomorphic functions on the complement ${\Omega=\{(z,w) \in \hat{\mathbb{C}}^2 \, : \, z\cdot w \not=1\}}$ of the "complexified unit…

We analyze the Dirac Laplacian of a one-parameter family of Dirac operators on a compact Lie group, which includes the Levi-Civita, cubic, and trivial Dirac operators. More specifically, we describe the Dirac Laplacian action on any…

We show that knowledge of the source-to-solution map for the fractional Dirac operator acting over sections of a Hermitian vector bundle over a smooth closed connencted Riemannian manifold of dimension $m\geq 2$ determines uniquely the…

We prove quadratic estimates for complex perturbations of Dirac-type operators, and thereby show that such operators have a bounded functional calculus. As an application we show that spectral projections of the Hodge--Dirac operator on…

Using the index theory for twisted Dirac operators acting on sections of Lipschitz bundles over non-compact manifolds, we prove Llarull-type comparison results in scalar curvature geometry. They apply to spin Riemannian manifolds with…

In his book Mickelsson notices that the infinite-dimensional Grassmannian manifold of Segal and Wilson admits a Spin^c structure and after this he naturally considers the problem of defining a Dirac operator on it. Mickelsson gives a…
