We derive a decomposition formula for the spectral flow of a 1-parameter family of self-adjoint Dirac operators on an odd-dimensional manifold $M$ split along a hypersurface $\Sigma$ ($M=X\cup_{\Sigma} Y$). No transversality or stretching…

In this paper we show the invariance of the Fredholm index of non-smooth pseudodifferential operators with coefficients in H\"older spaces. By means of this invariance we improve previous spectral invariance results for non-smooth…

Let {D_x} be a family of unbounded self-adjoint Fredholm operators representing an element of K^1(M). Consider the first two components of the Chern character of the family. It is known that these correspond to the spectral flow of the…
In the classical operator theory, there are several versions of spectra, related to special classes of operators (Fredholm, semi-Fredholm, upper/lower semi-Fredholm,etc.). We generalize these notions for adjointable operators on Hilbert…
Extension of Feynman's path integral to quantum mechanics of noncommuting spatial coordinates is considered. The corresponding formalism for noncommutative classical dynamics related to quadratic Lagrangians (Hamiltonians) is formulated.…
We study the Spectral Analysis for a class of bounded linear operators T = D + F in a non Archimedean Hilbert space E, where D is a diagonal linear operator and where F is a finite rank linear operator. In this study of the Spectral…
Non commutative quantum mechanics can be viewed as a quantum system represented in the space of Hilbert-Schmidt operators acting on non commutative configuration space. Taking this as departure point, we formulate a coherent state approach…
We investigate numerically the spectral flow introduced by Adams for the staggered Dirac operator on realistic gauge configurations. We study both the unimproved and the HISQ Dirac operators. We compare the spectral flow index with the…
We investigate complexes of Hilbert C*-modules, which are cochain complexes with (unbounded) regular operators between Hilbert C*-modules as differential maps. In particular, we provide various equivalent characterizations of the Fredholm…
We develop a Fredholm alternative for a fractional elliptic operator~$\mathcal{L}$ of mixed order built on the notion of fractional gradient. This operator constitutes the nonlocal extension of the classical second order elliptic operators…
This note is about the topology of the path space of linear Fredholm operators on a real Hilbert space. Fitzpatrick and Pejsachowicz introduced the parity of such a path, based on the Leray-Schauder degree of a path of parametrices. Here an…
This paper establishes a theory of nonlinear spectral decompositions by considering the eigenvalue problem related to an absolutely one-homogeneous functional in an infinite-dimensional Hilbert space. This approach is both motivated by…
