In the framework leading to the multiplicative anomaly formula ---which is here proven to be valid even in cases of known spectrum but non-compact manifold (very important in Physics)--- zeta-function regularisation techniques are shown to…

We establish the cancellation of the first $2j$ terms in the diagonal asymptotic expansion of the restriction to the $(0,2j)$-forms of the Bergman kernel associated to the spin${}^c$ Dirac operator on high tensor powers of a positive line…

We compute a formula for the discriminant of tautological bundles on symmetric powers of a complex smooth projective curve. It follows that the Bogomolov inequality does not give a new restriction to stability of these tautological bundles.…

In this paper we are concerned with resolvent estimates for the Laplacian $\Delta$ in Euclidean spaces. Uniform resolvent estimates for $\Delta$ were shown by Kenig, Ruiz and Sogge \cite{KRS} who established rather a complete description of…

In this paper, we present an algebro-geometric construction of the Hitchin connection in the parabolic setting for a fixed determinant line bundle. Our strategy is based on Hecke modifications, where we provide a decomposition formula for…

Given a projective morphism of compact, complex, algebraic varieties and a relatively ample line bundle on the domain we prove that a suitable choice, dictated by the line bundle, of the decomposition isomorphism of the Decomposition…

This is a continuation of the first author's development of the theory of elliptic differential operators with edge degeneracies. That first paper treated basic mapping theory, focusing on semi-Fredholm properties on weighted Sobolev and…

We deal with a linear hyperbolic differential operator of the second order on a bounded planar domain with a smooth boundary. We establish a well-posedness result in case where a mixed, Dirichlet-Neumann, condition is prescribed on the…

By the family index theory, we generalize some well-known $SL(2,Z)$ modular forms to the family case and obtain some new anomaly cancellation formulas for the determinant line bundle and index gerbes, and certain results about eta…

This is the second paper of a series. It extends the results of the first paper from number fields to finitely generated fields, based on the recent theory of adelic line bundles of the same authors. We prove an arithmetic Hodge index…

Observing that the logarithm of a product of two elliptic operators differs from the sum of the logarithms by a finite sum of operator brackets, we infer that regularised traces of this difference are local as finite sums of noncommutative…

We discuss asymptotic behavior of the eigenvalue distribution of the differential form Laplacian on a Riemannian foliated manifold when the metric on the ambient manifold is blown up in directions normal to the leaves (in the adiabatic…

Adiabatic invariants are introduced and shown to provide an approximate second integral of motion for the non-integrable Dicke model, in the energy region where the system exhibits a regular dynamics. This low-energy region is always…

The Quillen-Bismut-Freed construction associates a determinant line bundle with connection to an infinite dimensional super vector bundle with a family of Dirac-type operators. We define the regularized first Chern form of the infinite…

We discuss some aspects of the deformed W-algebras W_{q,t}[g]. In particular, we derive an explicit formula for the Kac determinant, and discuss the center when t^2 is a primitive k-th root of unity. The relation of the structure of…

Given a fiber bundle with closed connected fibers, and a family of separating hypersurfaces, we study the behavior of the Bismut-Lott analytic torsion form, and the eta form for a duality bundle, under analytic surgery in the sense of…

We study an inverse boundary value problem associated with $p$-Laplacian which is further perturbed by a linear second order term, defined on a bounded set $\Omega$ in $\R^n, n\geq 2$. We recover the coefficients at the boundary from the…

We investigate the behavior of various spectral invariants, particularly the determinant of the Laplacian, on a family of smooth Riemannian manifolds which undergo conic degeneration; that is, which converge in a particular way to a…

Motivated by our conjecture of an earlier work predicting the degeneration at the second page of the Fr\"olicher spectral sequence of any compact complex manifold supporting an SKT metric $\omega$ (i.e. such that…

Critical points of a function subject to a constraint can be either detected by restricting the function to the constraint or by looking for critical points of the Lagrange multiplier functional. Although the critical points of the two…
