In this article, we study several closely related invariants associated to Dirac operators on odd-dimensional manifolds with boundary with an action of the compact group $H$ of isometries. In particular, the equality between equivariant…
We define a spectral flow for paths of selfadjoint Fredholm operators that are equivariant under the orthogonal action of a compact Lie group as an element of the representation ring of the latter. This $G$-equivariant spectral flow shares…
Let M be an even dimensional compact Riemannian manifold with boundary and let D be a Dirac operator acting on the sections of the Clifford module E over M. We impose certain local elliptic boundary conditions for D obtaining a selfadjoint…
We consider a invariant Dirac operator D on a manifold with a proper and cocompact action of a discrete group G. It gives rise to an equivariant K-homology class [D]. We show how the index of the induced orbifold Dirac operator can be…
We consider bifurcation of critical points from a trivial branch for families of functionals that are invariant under the orthogonal action of a compact Lie group. Based on a recent construction of an equivariant spectral flow by the…
By a result of Nagy, the C*-algebra of continuous functions on the q-deformation G_q of a simply connected semisimple compact Lie group G is KK-equivalent to C(G). We show that under this equivalence the K-homology class of the Dirac…
We define an equivariant index of Spin$^c$-Dirac operators on possibly noncompact manifolds, acted on by compact, connected Lie groups. The main result in this paper is that the index decomposes into irreducible representations according to…
The spectral flow is an integer-valued homotopy invariant for paths of selfadjoint Fredholm operators. Lesch as well as Pejsachowicz, Fitzpatrick and Ciriza independently showed that it is uniquely characterised by its elementary…
We develop a formula for the equivariant index of a twisted Dirac operator on a compact globally hyperbolic spacetime with timelike boundary on which a group acts isometrically, subject to APS boundary conditions. The formula is the same as…
Let $M$ be an orientable compact flat Riemannian manifold endowed with a spin structure. In this paper we determine the spectrum of Dirac operators acting on smooth sections of twisted spinor bundles of $M$, and we derive a formula for the…
The issue of general covariance of spinors and related objects is reconsidered. Given an oriented manifold $M$, to each spin structure $\sigma$ and Riemannian metric $g$ there is associated a space $S_{\sigma, g}$ of spinor fields on $M$…
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…
For a proper, cocompact action by a locally compact group of the form $H \times G$, with $H$ compact, we define an $H \times G$-equivariant index of $H$-transversally elliptic operators, which takes values in $KK_*(C^*H, C^*G)$. This…
In this paper we study the asymptotic behavior of the spectral flow of a one-parameter family $\{D_s\}$ of Dirac operators acting on the spinor bunldle $S$ twisted by a vector bundle $E$ of rank $k$, with the parameter $s\in [0,r]$ when $r$…
Let $q=|q|e^{i\pi\theta},\,\theta\in(-1,1],$ be a nonzero complex number such that $|q|\neq 1$ and consider the compact quantum group $U_q(2)$. For $\theta\notin\mathbb{Q}\setminus\{0,1\}$, we obtain the $K$-theory of the $C^*$-algebra…
We introduce a new parabolic flow deforming any Riemannian metric on a spin manifold by following a constrained gradient flow of the total scalar curvature. This flow is built out of the well-known Dirac-Einstein functional. We prove local…
We show that the (graded) spectral flow of a family of Toeplitz operators on a complete Riemannian manifold is equal to the index of a certain Callias-type operator. When the dimension of the manifold is even this leads to a cohomological…
We introduce the notion of the joint spectral flow, which is a generalization of the spectral flow, by using Segal's model of the connective $K$-theory spectrum. We apply it for some localization results of indices motivated by Witten's…
In this article we study generalised Dirac-Schr\"odinger operators in arbitrary signatures (with or without gradings), providing a general KK-theoretic framework for the study of index pairings and spectral flow. We provide a general…
We formulate, for any Lie group G acting isometrically on a manifold M, the general notion of a G-equivariant elliptic operator that is invertible outside of a G-cocompact subset of M. We prove a version of the Rellich lemma for this…
