We establish new connections between integral curvature bounds and the Euler characteristic of closed Riemannian manifolds through the perspective of Schr\"odinger-type operators. Central to our approach is the twisted Dirac operator…

Let $G$ be a compact connected Lie group of dimension $m$. Once a bi-invariant metric on $G$ is fixed, left-invariant metrics on $G$ are in correspondence with $m\times m$ positive definite symmetric matrices. We estimate the diameter and…

We find and classify possible equivariant spin structures with Dirac operators on the noncommutative torus, proving that similarly as in the classical case the spectrum of the Dirac operator depends on the spin structure.

In this paper, we study the conformally invariant field equations for vector-spinor field in de Sitter space-time. The solutions are also obtained in terms of the de Sitter-Dirac plane waves. The related two-point functions are calculated…

We consider $G_2$-structures with torsion coupled with $G_2$-instantons, on a compact $7$-dimensional manifold. The coupling is via an equation for $4$-forms which appears in supergravity and generalized geometry, known as the Bianchi…
