Odd-dimensional Riemannian spaces that are non-orientable, but have a pin structure, require the consideration of the twisted adjoint representation of the corresponding pin group. It is shown here how the Dirac operator should be modified,…
For a closed, spin, odd dimensional Riemannian manifold $(Y,g)$, we define the rho invariant $\rho_{spin}(Y,E,H, g)$ for the twisted Dirac operator $D^E_H$ on $Y$, acting on sections of a flat hermitian vector bundle $E$ over $Y$, where $H…
This paper does not contain any new results, it is just an attempt to present, in a systematic way, one construction which establishes an interesting relationship between some ideas and notions well-known in the theory of integrable systems…

We consider invariant covariant derivatives on reductive homogeneous spaces corresponding to the well-known invariant affine connections. These invariant covariant derivatives are expressed in terms of horizontally lifted vector fields on…
In earlier work, Barchini, Kable, and Zierau constructed a number of conformally invariant systems of differential operators associated to Heisenberg parabolic subalgebras in simple Lie algebras. The construction was systematic, but the…

This thesis is concerned with the theory of invariant bilinear differential pairings on parabolic geometries. It introduces the concept formally with the help of the jet bundle formalism and provides a detailed analysis. More precisely,…
This paper studies a complete gradient Ricci soliton with an isoparametric potential function. Our first theorem asserts that, for the steady case, there is a critical level set of codimension greater than one. This is consistent with…
Warped convolutions of operators were recently introduced in the algebraic framework of quantum physics as a new constructive tool. It is shown here that these convolutions provide isometric representations of Rieffel's strict deformations…
We introduce new aspects in conformal geometry of some very natural second-order differential operators. These operators are termed shift operators. In the flat space, they are intertwining operators which are closely related to symmetry…
Let $(M,g)$ be a compact riemannian manifold without boundary., with parallel Rici curvature. We show that some operators, affine relatively to the Ricci curvature,are locally invertible, near the metric $g$
In the present paper we continue the project of systematic construction of invariant differential operators on the example of the non-compact algebras sp(n,R), in detail for n=6. Our choice of these algebras is motivated by the fact that…
We construct a large family of commutative algebras of partial differential operators invariant under rotations. These algebras are isomorphic extensions of the algebras of ordinary differential operators introduced by Grunbaum and Yakimov…
In this paper, we introduce novel concepts and establish a formal framework for twisted differential operators in the context of several variables. The focus is on twisted coordinates within Huber rings, which facilitate the construction of…
We develop method that allows to derive reductions and solutions to hyperbolic systems of partial differential equations. The method is based on using functions that are constant in the direction of characteristics of the system. These…
We establish variational formulas for Ricci upper and lower bounds, as well as a derivative formula for the Ricci curvature. As applications, constant curvature manifolds, Einstein manifolds and Ricci parallel manifolds are identified,…
