The spectral flow is a classical notion of functional analysis and differential geometry which was given different interpretations as Fredholm index, Witten index, and Maslov index. The classical theory treats spectral flow outside the…

We prove an integral formula for the spectral flow of differentiable loops of unitaries of the form ${\rm Id}+$Schatten. Our formula is in terms of a regularised winding number, expressed in terms of exact differential forms, and we show…

In this paper, we study the spectral orthogonality problem for special flows built over irrational rotations under two different types of roof functions: 1) the roof functions are real analytic. 2) the roof functions are piecewise $C^1$…

A general integral formula for the spectral flow of a path of unbounded selfadjoint Fredholm operators subject to certain summability conditions is derived from the interpretation of the spectral flow as a winding number.

In this paper we consider a variation of the Vafa-Witten equations on compact, oriented and smooth 4-manifolds, and construct a set of perturbation terms to establish the transversality of that equations. The new perturbed equations provide…

A formula is given in terms of secondary characteristic classes for the leading order contribution to the spectral flow for a path of twisted Dirac operators on an odd dimensional, Riemannian manifold when the twisting is done by a path of…

We consider bifurcation of solutions from a given trivial branch for a class of strongly indefinite elliptic systems via the spectral flow. Our main results establish bifurcation invariants that can be obtained from the coefficients of the…

The paper deals with first order self-adjoint elliptic differential operators on a smooth compact oriented surface with non-empty boundary. We consider such operators with self-adjoint local boundary conditions. The paper is focused on…

The spectral flow is a well-known quantity in spectral theory that measures the variation of spectra about $0$ along paths of selfadjoint Fredholm operators. The aim of this work is twofold. Firstly, we consider homotopy invariance…

In this paper, we propose a new numerical scheme for a spatially discrete model of constrained total variation flows, which are total variation flows whose values are constrained in a Riemannian manifold. The difficulty of this problem is…

A spectral decomposition method is used to obtain solutions to a class of nonlinear differential equations. We extend this approach to the analysis of the fractional form of these equations and demonstrate the method by applying it to the…

We introduce a new topology, weaker than the gap topology, on the space of selfadjoint operators affiliated to a semifinite von Neumann algebra. We define the real-valued spectral flow for a continuous path of selfadjoint Breuer-Fredholm…

First, we prove a local spectral flow formula (Theorem 3.7) for a differentiable curve of selfadjoint Fredholm operators. This formula enables us to prove in a simple way a general spectral flow formula. Secondly, we prove a splitting…

We relate the spectral flow to the index for paths of selfadjoint Breuer-Fredholm operators affiliated to a semifinite von Neumann algebra, generalizing results of Robbin-Salamon and Pushnitski. Then we prove the vanishing of the von…

One may trace the idea that spectral flow should be given as the integral of a one form back to the 1974 Vancouver ICM address of I.M. Singer. Our main theorem gives analytic formulae for the spectral flow along a norm differentiable path…

An optical flow variational model is proposed for a sequence of images defined on a domain in $\mathbb{R}^2$. We introduce a regularization term given by the $L^1$ norm of a fractional differential operator. To solve the minimization…

The Vafa-Witten equations on an oriented Riemannian 4- manifold are first order, non-linear equations for a pair of connection on a principle SO(3) bundle over the 4-manifold and a self-dual 2-form with values in the associated Lie algebra…

We present a new and simple approach to the theory of multiple operator integrals that applies to unbounded operators affiliated with general von Neumann algebras. For semifinite von Neumann algebras we give applications to the Fr\'echet…

In \cite{APSIII} Atiyah, Patodi and Singer introduced spectral flow for elliptic operators on odd dimensional compact manifolds. They argued that it could be computed from the Fredholm index of an elliptic operator on a manifold of one…

We adapt the precise definition of the flowing effective action in order to obtain a functional flow equation with simple properties close to physical intuition. The simplified flow equation is invariant under local gauge transformations…
