Let $M$ be a globally hyperbolic manifold with complete spacelike Cauchy hypersurface $\Sigma \subset M$. Building on past and recent works of B\"ar and Strohmaier, we extend their Fredholm result of the Atiyah-Singer Dirac operator on…

We study families of Dirac-type operators, with compatible perturbations, associated to wedge metrics on stratified spaces. We define a closed domain and, under an assumption of invertible boundary families, prove that the operators are…

An index formula is proposed for contact transformations between contact manifolds equipped with CR structures or with fillings by symplectic manifolds. The formula generalizes the Atiyah-Singer formula and gives a conjectured formula for…

We study elliptic theory on manifolds with boundary represented as a covering space. Firstly, we consider boundary value problems, where the boundary conditions are allowed to mix the values of functions in the fibers of the covering. We…

We study two special cases of the equivariant index defined in part I of this series. We apply this index to deformations of Spin$^c$-Dirac operators, invariant under actions by possibly noncompact groups, with possibly noncompact orbit…

By a small bundle gerbe we mean a bundle gerbe in the sense of Murray defined on a smooth, finite-dimensional, fibre bundle over a manifold. We construct such gerbes over compact oriented aspherical 3-manifolds, as well as in higher…

The Atiyah-Singer index theorem on a closed manifold is well understood and appreciated in physics. On the other hand, the Atiyah-Patodi-Singer index, which is an extension to a manifold with boundary, is physicist-unfriendly, in that it is…
