We compute the index of the Dirac operator on spin Riemannian manifolds with conical singularities, acting from $L^p(\Sigma^+)$ to $L^q(\Sigma^-)$ with $p,q>1$. When $1+\frac{n}{p}-\frac{n}{q}>0$ we obtain the usual Atiyah-Patodi-Singer…

In this largely expository paper we give a self-contained treatment of the Dirac operator. Emphasizing the algebraic point of view we first sketch the necessary prerequisites from Clifford algebras and their representations and then define…

We consider the Dirac operator on a 2-sphere without one point in the case of non-integer magnetic flux. We show that the spectral problem for the Hamiltonian (the square of Dirac operator) can always be well defined, if including in the…

The eigenvalue problem for Dirac operators, constructed from two connections on the spinor bundle over closed spacelike 2-surfaces, is investigated. A class of divergence free vector fields, built from the eigenspinors, are found, which,…

In this paper we present a complete spectral analysis of Dirac operators with non-Hermitian matrix potentials of the form $i\operatorname{sgn}(x)+V(x)$ where $V\in L^1$. For $V=0$ we compute explicitly the matrix Green function. This allows…

We study conformal $Spin$-subgeometry of submanifolds in a semi-Riemannian $Spin$-manifold, focusing on conformal $Spin$-manifolds $(M,[h])$ and their Poincar\'e-Einstein metrics $(X,g_+)$. Our approach is based on the spectral theory of…
