We construct eta- and rho-invariants for Dirac operators, on the universal covering of a closed manifold, that are invariant under the projective action associated to a 2-cocycle of the fundamental group. We prove an Atiyah-Patodi-Singer…

We determine the structure of conformal powers of the Dirac operator on Einstein {\it Spin}-manifolds in terms of the product formula for shifted Dirac operators. The result is based on the techniques of higher variations for the Dirac…

We study general conditions under which the computations of the index of a perturbed Dirac operator $D_{s}=D+sZ$ localize to the singular set of the bundle endomorphism $Z$ in the semi-classical limit $s\to \infty $. We show how to use…

We study the index bundle of the Dirac-Ramond operator associated with a family $\pi: Z \to X$ of compact spin manifolds. We view this operator as the formal twisted Dirac operator $\dd \otimes \bigotimes_{n=1}^{\infty}S_{q^n}TM_{\C}$ so…

On a compact spin manifold we study the space of Riemannian metrics for which the Dirac operator is invertible. The first main result is a surgery theorem stating that such a metric can be extended over the trace of a surgery of codimension…

We study an index of a transversal Dirac operator on an odd-dimensional manifold $X$ with locally free $\mathbb{S}^1$-action. One difficulty of using heat kernel method lies in the understanding of the asymptotic expansion as $t\to 0^+$. By…
