We investigate the spectral and index-theoretic properties of the Hodge-Dirac operator $D = \mathrm{d} + \mathrm{d}^*$ acting on the Banach space $\mathrm{L}^p(\Omega^\bullet(M))$ of differential forms over a compact Riemannian manifold…

We show that a Krein-Feller operator is naturally associated to a fixed measure $\mu$, assumed positive, $\sigma$-finite, and non-atomic. Dual pairs of operators are introduced, carried by the two Hilbert spaces, $L^{2}\left(\mu\right)$ and…

We prove that on a compact $n$-dimensional spin manifold admitting a non-trivial harmonic 1-form of constant length, every eigenvalue $\lambda$ of the Dirac operator satisfies the inequality $\lambda^2 \geq \frac{n-1}{4(n-2)}\inf_M Scal$.…

In this paper we consider the symmetric Kolmogorov operator $L=\Delta +\frac{\nabla \mu}{\mu}\cdot \nabla$ on $L^2(\mathbb R^N,d\mu)$, where $\mu$ is the density of a probability measure on $\mathbb R^N$. Under general conditions on $\mu$…

Given an open set $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^3$. We deal with the spectral study of Dirac operators of the form $H_{a,\tau}=H+A_{a,\tau}\delta_{\partial\Omega}$, where $H$ is the free Dirac operator in $\mathbb{R}^3$, $A_{a,\tau}$ is a…

We define the notion of a co-Riemannian structure and show how it can be used to define the Dirac operator on an appropriate infinite dimensional manifold. In particular, this approach works for the smooth loop space of a so-called string…

We prove that the mass endomorphism associated to the Dirac operator on a Riemannian manifold is non-zero for generic Riemannian metrics. The proof involves a study of the mass endomorphism under surgery, its behavior near metrics with…

We show existence, uniqueness and positivity for the Green's function of the operator $(\Delta_g + \alpha)^k$ in a closed Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$, of dimension $n>2k$, $k\in \mathbb{N}$, $k\geq 1$, with Laplace-Beltrami operator…

We introduce a gauge-theoretic integer lift of the Rohlin invariant of a smooth 4-manifold X with the homology of $S^1 \times S^3$. The invariant has two terms; one is a count of solutions to the Seiberg-Witten equations on X, and the other…

We prove a simple sufficient criteria to obtain some Hardy inequalities on Riemannian manifolds related to quasilinear second-order differential operator $\Delta_{p}u := \Div(\abs{\nabla u}^{p-2}\nabla u)$. Namely, if $\rho$ is a…

Let $D$ and $U$ be linear operators in a vector space (or more generally, elements of an associative algebra with a unit). We establish binomial-type identities for $D$ and $U$ assuming that either their commutator $[D,U]$ or the second…

We consider the massless Dirac operator $H=\alpha \cdot D+Q(x)$ on the Hilbert space $L^{2}(\mathbb{R}^{3},\mathbb{C}^{4})$, where $Q(x)$ is a $4\times4$ Hermitian matrix valued function which suitably decays at infinity. We show that the…
