We prove an extension of the nonabelian Hodge theorem in which the underlying objects are twisted torsors over a smooth complex projective variety. In the prototypical case of $GL_n$-torsors, one side of this correspondence consists of…
This paper is a follow-up contribution to our work [20] where we discussed some invariant subspace results for contractions on Hilbert spaces. Here we extend the results of [20] to the context of n-tuples of bounded linear operators on…
We present an alternate definition of the mod {\bf Z} component of the Atiyah-Patodi-Singer $\eta$ invariant associated to (not necessary unitary) flat vector bundles, which identifies explicitly its real and imaginary parts. This is done…
In this paper we extend Witten-Helffer-Sj\"ostrand theory from selfadjoint Laplacians based on fiber wise Hermitian structures, to non-selfadjoint Laplacians based on fiber wise non-degenerate symmetric bilinear forms. As an application we…
We introduce a gauge-theoretic integer lift of the Rohlin invariant of a smooth 4-manifold X with the homology of $S^1 \times S^3$. The invariant has two terms; one is a count of solutions to the Seiberg-Witten equations on X, and the other…
A natural higher K-theoretic analogue of the triviality of vector bundles on affine toric varieties is the conjecture on nilpotence of the multiplicative action of the natural numbers on the K-theory of these varieties. This includes both…
We discuss a fine tuning of the co- and contra-variant transforms through construction of specific fiducial and reconstructing vectors. The technique is illustrated on three different forms of induced representations of the Heisenberg…
The universal invariant with respect to a given ribbon Hopf algebra is a tangle invariant that dominates all the Reshetikhin-Turaev invariants built from the representation theory of the algebra. We construct a canonical strict monoidal…
We show that the R/Z part of the analytically defined eta invariant of Atiyah-Patodi-Singer for a Dirac operator on an odd dimensional closed spin manifold can be expressed purely geometrically through a stable Chern-Simons current on a…
In this paper, we establish two kinds of Kastler-Kalau-Walze type theorems for Dirac operators and signature operators twisted by a vector bundle with a non-unitary connection on six-dimensional manifolds with boundary.
We give some remarks on twisted determinant line bundles and Chern-Simons topological invariants associated with real hyperbolic manifolds. Index of a twisted Dirac operator is derived. We discuss briefly application of obtained results in…
Let $M$ be a compact manifold. and $D$ a Dirac type differential operator on $M$. Let $A$ be a $C^*$-algebra. Given a bundle $W$ of $A$-modules over $M$ (with connection), the operator $D$ can be twisted with this bundle. One can then use a…
Twisted Alexander invariants of knots are well-defined up to multiplication of units. We get rid of this multiplicative ambiguity via a combinatorial method and define normalized twisted Alexander invariants. We then show that the…
Let $G$ be a locally compact abelian group with a Haar measure, and $Y$ be a measure space. Suppose that $H$ is a reproducing kernel Hilbert space of functions on $G\times Y$, such that $H$ is naturally embedded into $L^2(G\times Y)$ and is…
In this paper, we study the family index of a family of spin manifolds. In particular, we discuss to which extend the real index (of the Dirac operator of the real spinor bundle if the fiber dimension is divisible by 8) which can be defined…
For a real or complex semisimple Lie group $G$ and two nested parabolic subgroups $Q\subset P\subset G$, we study parabolic geometries of type $(G,Q)$. Associated to the group $P$, we introduce a class of relative natural bundles and…
In this work we define operator-valued Fourier transforms for suitable integrable elements with respect to the Plancherel weight of a (not necessarily Abelian) locally compact group. Our main result is a generalized version of the Fourier…
We introduce a geometric refinement of Gromov-Witten invariants for $\mathbb P^1$-bundles relative to the natural fiberwise boundary structure. We call these refined invariant correlated Gromov-Witten invariants. Furthermore, we prove a…
We define and explore the notion of linear weightings for vector bundles, extending the recent work by Loizides and Meinrenken. We construct weighted normal bundles and deformation spaces in the category of vector bundles. We explain how a…
In this paper, we suggest a construction of determinant lines of finitely generated Hilbertian modules over finite von Neumann algebras. Nonzero elements of the determinant lines can be viewed as volume forms on the Hilbertian modules.…
