The supersymmetric extension of charged point particle's motion is applied to investigate symmetries of gravitational fields and electromagnetic fields. We mainly focus on the role of the Killing- Yano tensors of both usual and generalized…
First, we review the Dirac operator folklore about basic analytic and geometrical properties of operators of Dirac type on compact manifolds with smooth boundary and on closed partitioned manifolds and show how these properties depend on…
We derive upper eigenvalue bounds for the Dirac operator of a closed hypersurface in a manifold with Killing spinors such as Euclidean space, spheres or hyperbolic space. The bounds involve the Willmore functional. Relations with the…
We establish an index theorem for Toeplitz operators on odd dimensional spin manifolds with boundary. It may be thought of as an odd dimensional analogue of the Atiyah-Patodi-Singer index theorem for Dirac operators on manifolds with…
We consider Dirac-type operators on manifolds with boundary, and set out to determine all local smooth boundary conditions that give rise to (strongly) regular self-adjoint operators. By combining the general theory of boundary value…
In this paper, Dirac operator with some integral type nonlocal boundary conditions is studied. We show that the coefficients of the problem can be uniquely determined by a dense set of nodal points. Moreover, we give an algorithm for the…
We give a proof of the index theorem of lattice Wilson--Dirac operators, which states that the index of a twisted Dirac operator on the standard torus is described in terms of the corresponding lattice Wilson--Dirac operator. Our proof is…
We study the Dirac spectrum on compact Riemannian spin manifolds $M$ equipped with a metric connection $\nabla$ with skew torsion $T\in\Lambda^3M$ by means of twistor theory. An optimal lower bound for the first eigenvalue of the Dirac…
We prove that the indices of fibered-cusp and $d$-Dirac operators on a spin manifold with fibered boundary coincide if the associated family of Dirac operators on the fibers of the boundary is invertible. This answers a question raised by…
In this paper we discuss geometric torsion in terms of a distinguished class of Dirac operators. We demonstrate that from this class of Dirac operators a variational problem for torsion can be derived similar to that of Yang-Mills gauge…
We carry the index theory for manifolds with boundary of B\"ar and Ballmann over to first order differential operators on metric graphs. This approach results in a short proof for the index of such operators. Then the self-adjoint…
Let G be a real reductive Lie group with maximal compact sub- group K. We generalize the usual notion of Dirac index to a twisted version, which is nontrivial even in case G and K do not have equal rank. We compute ordinary and twisted…
We introduce a slight modification of the usual equivariant $KK$-theory. We use this to give a $KK$-theoretical proof of an equivariant index theorem for Dirac-Schrodinger operators on a non-compact manifold of nowhere positive curvature.…
We define an analytic index and prove a topological index theorem for a non-compact manifold $M\_0$ with poly-cylindrical ends. We prove that an elliptic operator $P$ on $M\_0$ has an invertible perturbation $P+R$ by a lower order operator…
In this paper, we introduce several new secondary invariants for Dirac operators on a complete Riemannian manifold with a uniform positive scalar curvature metric outside a compact set and use these secondary invariants to establish a…
There exists a long-standing debate regarding the torsion contribution to the 4d chiral anomaly of a Dirac fermion. Central to this debate is the Nieh-Yan anomaly, which has been considered ill-defined and a regularization artifact. Using a…
We define a noncommutative space we call the quantum solid torus. It is an example of a noncommutative manifold with a noncommutative boundary. We study quantum Dirac type operators subject to Atiyah-Patodi-Singer like boundary conditions…
We derive a formula for the index of a Dirac operator on a compact, even-dimensional incomplete edge space satisfying a "geometric Witt condition". We accomplish this by cutting off to a smooth manifold with boundary, applying the…
We give a local formula for the index of a transverse Dirac-type operator on a compact manifold with a Riemannian foliation, under the assumption that the Molino sheaf is a sheaf of abelian Lie algebras.
New extrinsic lower bounds are given for the classical Dirac operator on the boundary of a compact domain of a spin manifold. The main tool is to solve some boundary problems for the Dirac operator of the domain under boundary conditions of…
