Let $G$ be a non-compact connected semisimple real Lie group with finite center. Suppose $L$ is a non-compact connected closed subgroup of $G$ acting transitively on a symmetric space $G/H$ such that $L\cap H$ is compact. We study the…

This review article intends to introduce the reader to non-integrable geometric structures on Riemannian manifolds and invariant metric connections with torsion, and to discuss recent aspects of mathematical physics--in particular…

We analyze the limit of the spectrum of a geometric Dirac-type operator under a collapse with bounded diameter and bounded sectional curvature. In the case of a smooth limit space B, we show that the limit of the spectrum is given by the…

We study how the spin structures on finite-volume hyperbolic n-manifolds restrict to cusps. When a cusp cross-section is a (n-1)-torus, there are essentially two possible behaviours: the spin structure is either bounding or Lie. We show…

We study conformal $Spin$-subgeometry of submanifolds in a semi-Riemannian $Spin$-manifold, focusing on conformal $Spin$-manifolds $(M,[h])$ and their Poincar\'e-Einstein metrics $(X,g_+)$. Our approach is based on the spectral theory of…

We use the $\zeta$-function regularization and an integral representation of the complex power of a pseudo differential operator, to give an unambiguous definition of the determinant of the Dirac operator. We bring this definition to a…

Quaternionic and octonionic spinors are introduced and their fundamental properties (such as the space-times supporting them) are reviewed. The conditions for the existence of their associated Dirac equations are analyzed. Quaternionic and…

We compute the spectrum of the Dirac operator on 3-dimensional Heisenberg manifolds. The behavior under collapse to the 2-torus is studied. Depending on the spin structure either all eigenvalues tend to $\pm\infty$ or there are eigenvalues…

We define and study, under suitable assumptions, the fundamental class, the index class and the rho class of a spin Dirac operator on the regular part of a spin stratified pseudomanifold. More singular structures, such as singular…

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…
