The extended Heisenberg algebra for a contact manifold has a symbolic calculus that accommodates both Heisenberg pseudodifferential operators as well as classical pseudodifferential operators. We derive here a formula for the index of…
Using equivariant Toeplitz operator calculus, we give a new proof of the Atiyah-Weinstein conjecture on the index of Fourier integral operators and the relative index of CR structures.
The Atiyah-Singer index theorem is a topological formula for the index of an elliptic differential operator. The topological index depends on a cohomology class that is constructed from the principal symbol of the operator. On contact…
We present a new solution to the index problem for hypoelliptic operators in the Heisenberg calculus on contact manifolds, by constructing the appropriate topological K-theory cocycle for such operators. Its Chern character gives a…

We give an elementary solution of the index problem for elliptic operators associated with the shift operator along the trajectories of an isometric diffeomorphism of a closed smooth manifold. This solution is based on a reduction (which…
We formulate and prove a lattice version of the Atiyah-Singer index theorem. The main theorem gives a $K$-theoretic formula for an index-type invariant of operators on lattice approximations of closed integral affine manifolds. We apply the…
We show that the index of an elliptic Fourier integral operator associated to a contact diffeomorphism $\phi$ of cosphere bundles of two Riemannian manifolds X and Y is given by $\int_{B^*X}\hat{A}(T^*X)\exp{\theta} -…
Quantized contact transformations are Toeplitz operators over a contact manifold $(X,\alpha)$ of the form $U_{\chi} = \Pi A \chi \Pi$, where $\Pi : H^2(X) \to L^2(X)$ is a Szego projector, where $\chi$ is a contact transformation and where…
We give a cohomological formula for the index of a fully elliptic pseudodifferential operator on a manifold with boundary. As in the classic case of Atiyah-Singer, we use an embedding into an euclidean space to express the index as the…
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…
The index theorem, discovered by Atiyah and Singer in 1963, is one of most important results in the twentieth century mathematics. It found numerous applications in analysis, geometry and physics. Since it was discovered numerous attempts…
We consider a consider the case of a compact manifold M, together with the following data: the action of a compact Lie group H and a smooth H-invariant distribution E, such that the H-orbits are transverse to E. These data determine a…
Generalized product formulas and index transforms, involving products of Whittaker's functions of different indices are established and investigated. The corresponding inversion formulas are found. Particular cases cover index transforms…
This paper is a continuation of arXiv:0706.3511, where we obtained a local index formula for matrix elliptic operators with shifts. Here we establish a cohomological index formula of Atiyah-Singer type for elliptic differential operators…
Generalizing Weyl's tube formula and building on Chern's work, Alesker reinterpreted the Lipschitz-Killing curvature integrals as a family of valuations (finitely-additive measures with good analytic properties), attached canonically to any…
For contact manifolds, it is well-known that the map which assigns to an infinitesimal contact transformation its contact Hamiltonian function is a linear isomorphism, and an explicit local formula for its inverse can be given. In contrast,…
