For two positive integers m and n, we let ${\mathcal P}_n$ be the open convex cone in ${\mathbb R}^{n(n+1)/2}$ consisting of positive definite n x n real symmetric matrices and let ${\mathbb R}^{(m,n)}$ be the set of all m x n real…

Indicial operators are model operators associated to an elliptic differential operator near a corner singularity on a stratified manifold. These model operators are defined on generalized tangent cone configurations and exhibit a natural…

In this paper we give a survey of elliptic theory for operators associated with diffeomorphisms of smooth manifolds. Such operators appear naturally in analysis, geometry and mathematical physics. We survey classical results as well as…

In this paper we continue the study of the superconformal index of four-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=2$ theories of class $\mathcal{S}$ in the presence of surface defects. Our main result is the construction of an algebra of difference…

We prove cobordism index invariance for pseudo-differential elliptic operators on closed orbifolds with $K$--theoretical methods.

Spectrum of a certain class of first order conformally invariant operators on the sphere is explicitly computed. The class contains the (elliptic verions of) Rarita-Schwinger operator and its higher spin analogues.

Sharp resolvent bounds for non-selfadjoint semiclassical elliptic quadratic differential operators are established, in the interior of the range of the associated quadratic symbol.

We prove index formulas for elliptic operators acting between sections of C*-vector bundles on a closed manifold. The formulas involve Karoubi's Chern character from K-theory of a C*-algebra to de Rham homology of smooth subalgebras. We…

Let $M$ be an $n$-dimensional manifold, $V$ the space of a representation $\rho: GL(n)\longrightarrow GL(V)$. Locally, let $T(V)$ be the space of sections of the tensor bundle with fiber $V$ over a sufficiently small open set $U\subset M$,…

The main objective of this dissertation is to analyse thoroughly the construction of self-adjoint extensions of the Laplace-Beltrami operator defined on a compact Riemannian manifold with boundary and the role that quadratic forms play to…

We use the averaged variational principle introduced in a recent article on graph spectra [7] to obtain upper bounds for sums of eigenvalues of several partial differential operators of interest in geometric analysis, which are analogues of…

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…

We calculate the eta-invariant for the odd signature operator relative to a specific submersion metric on the Milnor fibration of a quasihomogeneous hypersurface singularity using certain global boundary conditions in terms of the data of…

We construct algebras of pseudodifferential operators on a continuous family groupoid G that are closed under holomorphic functional calculus, contain the algebra of all pseudodifferential operators of order 0 on G as a dense subalgebra,…

We expose the elliptic quantum groups in the Drinfeld realization associated with both the affine Lie algebra \g and the toroidal algebra \g_tor. There the level-0 and level \not=0 representations appear in a unified way so that one can…

We give a proof of the cobordism invariance of the index of elliptic pseudodifferential operators on sigma-compact manifolds, where, in the non-compact case, the operators are assumed to be multiplication outside a compact set. We show…

The notion of eta invariant is traditionally defined by means of analytic continuation. We prove, by examining the particular case of the operator curl, that the eta invariant can equivalently be obtained as the trace of the difference of…

Consider a classical elliptic pseudodifferential operator $P$ on ${\Bbb R}^n$ of order $2a$ ($0<a<1)$ with even symbol. For example, $P=A(x,D)^a$ where $A(x,D)$ is a second-order strongly elliptic differential operator; the fractional…

In this paper we study the asymptotic behavior of second-order uniformly elliptic operators on weighted Riemannian manifolds. They naturally emerge when studying spectral properties of the Laplace-Beltrami operator on families of manifolds…

We revisit an argument due to Lesch (Topology 32 (1993), no. 3, 611-623) for proving the cobordism invariance of the index of Dirac operators on even-dimensional closed manifolds and combine this with recent work by the author (New York J.…
