We give a min-max characterization of the weighted Dirac eigenvalues, and show that the weighted eigenvalues and eigenspaces of Dirac operators are continuous with respect to weak $L^p$ convergence of the inverse weight, for any $p>n$.…

Let $M$ be a compact manifold with a metric $g$ and with a fixed spin structure $\chi$. Let $\lambda\_1^+(g)$ be the first non-negative eigenvalue of the Dirac operator on $(M,g,\chi)$. We set $$\tau(M,\chi):= \sup \inf \lambda\_1^+(g)$$…

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…

This paper studies Dirac operators on end-periodic spin manifolds of dimension at least 4. We provide a sufficient condition for such an operator to be Fredholm for a generic end-periodic metric; this condition is shown to be necessary in…

Let $(M,g,\sigma)$ be a compact Riemmannian surface equipped with a spin structure $\sigma$. For any metric $\tilde{g}$ on $M$, we denote by $\mu\_1(\tilde{g})$ (resp. $\lambda\_1(\tilde{g})$) the first positive eigenvalue of the Laplacian…

Let $(M,g)$ be a complete three dimensional Riemannian manifold with boundary $\partial M$. Given smooth functions $K(x)>0$ and $c(x)$ defined on $M$ and $\partial M$, respectively, it is natural to ask whether there exist metrics conformal…
