The spinor representation of the Lorentz group does not accept simple generalization with the group GL(4,R) of general linear coordinate transformations. The Dirac equation may be written for an arbitrary choice of a coordinate system and a…
We look at smooth manifolds equipped with a possibly singular Riemannian metric. We give sufficient conditions for the existence of scalar curvature measures and Dirac operators.
Dirac operators and Dirac cohomology for Lie superalgebras of Riemannian type, introduced by Huang and Pand\v{z}i\'{c}, provide an effective tool for the study of unitarizable supermodules. In this article, we study these objects for Lie…
A self-adjoint dynamical time operator is introduced in Dirac's relativistic formulation of quantum mechanics and shown to satisfy a commutation relation with the Hamiltonian analogous to that of the position and momentum operators. The…
It is shown that the N=4 superalgebra of the Dirac theory in Taub-NUT space has different unitary representations related among themselves through unitary U(2) transformations. In particular the SU(2) transformations are generated by the…
A notion of curvature is introduced in multivariable operator theory and an analogue of the Gauss-Bonnet-Chern theorem is established for graded (contractive) Hilbert modules over the complex polynomial algebra in d variables, d=1,2,3,....…
The Dirac-Dolbeault operator for a compact K\"ahler manifold is a special case of a Dirac operator. The Green function for the Dirac Laplacian over a Riemannian manifold with boundary allows to express the values of the sections of the…
We study perturbed Dirac operators of the form $ D_s= D + s\A :\Gamma(E^0)\rightarrow \Gamma(E^1)$ over a compact Riemannian manifold $(X, g)$ with symbol $c$ and special bundle maps $\A : E^0\rightarrow E^1$ for $s>>0$. Under a simple…
We examine the structure of spacetime symmetries of toroidally compactified string theory within the framework of noncommutative geometry. Following a proposal of Frohlich and Gawedzki, we describe the noncommutative string spacetime using…
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…
We establish the factorization of the Dirac operator on an almost-regular fibration of spin$^c$ manifolds in unbounded KK-theory. As a first intermediate result we establish that any vertically elliptic and symmetric first-order…
Let G be a discrete group, and let M be a closed spin manifold of dimension m>3 with pi_1(M)=G. We assume that M admits a Riemannian metric of positive scalar curvature. We discuss how to use the L2-rho invariant and the delocalized eta…
In this note, we consider the Dirac operator $D$ on a Riemannian symmetric space $M$ of noncompact type. Using representation theory we show that $D$ has point spectrum iff the $\hat A$-genus of its compact dual does not vanish. In this…
Recently Dabrowski etc. \cite{DL} obtained the metric and Einstein functionals by two vector fields and Laplace-type operators over vector bundles, giving an interesting example of the spinor connection and square of the Dirac operator.…
We introduce a notion called `maximal commuting piece' for tuples of Hilbert space operators. Given a commuting tuple of operators forming a row contraction there are two commonly used dilations in multivariable operator theory. Firstly…
We extend naturally the spectral triple which define noncommutative geometry (NCG) in order to incorporate supersymmetry and obtain supersymmetric Dirac operator D_M which acts on Minkowskian manifold. Inversely, we can consider the…
We compare the eigenvalues of the Dirac and Laplace operator on a two-dimensional torus with respect to the trivial spin structure. In particular, we compute their variation up to order 4 upon deformation of the flat metric, study the…
For a tuple $T$ of Hilbert space operators, the 'commuting dilation constant' is the smallest number $c$ such that the operators of $T$ are a simultaneous compression of commuting normal operators of norm at most $c$. We present numerical…
Using Weitzenb\"ock techniques on any compact Riemannian spin manifold we derive inequalities that involve a real parameter and join the eigenvalues of the Dirac operator with curvature terms. The discussion of these inequalities yields…
The eigenvalues of the Dirac operator on a curved spacetime are diffeomorphism-invariant functions of the geometry. They form an infinite set of ``observables'' for general relativity. Recent work of Chamseddine and Connes suggests that…
