We derive a formula for the gravitational part of the spectral action for Dirac operators on 4-dimensional manifolds with totally anti-symmetric torsion. We find that the torsion becomes dynamical and couples to the traceless part of the…

An odd Fredholm module for a given invertible operator on a Hilbert space is specified by an unbounded so-called Dirac operator with compact resolvent and bounded commutator with the given invertible. Associated to this is an index pairing…

We consider operators in the domains with the boundaries and derive sharp spectral asymptotics (containing non-Weyl correction) in the case when Hamiltonian flow is periodic. Even if operator is scalar but not second order (or even…
