We propose a new framework for constructing geometric and physical models on nonholonomic manifolds provided both with Clifford -- Lie algebroid symmetry and nonlinear connection structure. Explicit parametrizations of generic off-diagonal…

A Dirac operator on a complete manifold is Fredholm if it is invertible outside a compact set. Assuming a compact group to act on all relevant structure, and the manifold to have a warped product structure outside such a compact set, we…

We establish a mod 2 index theorem for real vector bundles over 8k+2 dimensional compact pin$^-$ manifolds. The analytic index is the reduced $\eta$ invariant of (twisted) Dirac operators and the topological index is defined through…

The present paper is a short survey on the mathematical basics of Classical Field Theory including the Serre-Swan' theorem, Clifford algebra bundles and spinor bundles over smooth Riemannian manifolds, Spin^C-structures, Dirac operators,…

We describe how Lie groupoids are used in singular analysis, index theory and non-commutative geometry and give a brief overview of the theory. We also expose groupoid proofs of the Atiyah-Singer index theorem and discuss the Baum-Connes…

We give a systematic treatment of index theory on Pin manifolds, based on the Clifford linear Dirac operator and differential KO-theory. This expository article is based on joint work with Mike Hopkins.

Let $M$ be an oriented even-dimensional Riemannian manifold on which a discrete group $\Gamma$ of orientation-preserving isometries acts freely, so that the quotient $X=M/\Gamma$ is compact. We prove a vanishing theorem for a half-kernel of…

We show that the Atiyah-Singer index theorem of Dirac operator can be directly proved in the canonical formulation of quantum mechanics, without using the path-integral technique. This proof takes advantage of an algebraic isomorphism…

We establish the basics of the analysis of operators on coverings of manifolds with cylindrical ends with a group of deck transformations $\Gamma$. We prove the $\Gamma$-analogue of the Atiyah-Patodi-Singer formula for Dirac operators on…

In this largely expository paper we give a self-contained treatment of the Dirac operator. Emphasizing the algebraic point of view we first sketch the necessary prerequisites from Clifford algebras and their representations and then define…

We define an analytical index map and a topological index map for conical pseudomanifolds. These constructions generalize the analogous constructions used by Atiyah and Singer in the proof of their topological index theorem for a smooth,…

In this talk, we review the heat kernel approach to the Atiyah-Singer index theorem for Dirac operators on closed manifolds, as well as the Atiyah-Patodi-Singer index theorem for Dirac operators on manifolds with boundary. We also discuss…

In this lecture I will report on some recent progress in understanding the relation of Dirac operators on Clifford modules over an even-dimensional closed Riemannian manifold $M$\ and (euclidean) Einstein-Yang-Mills-Higgs models.

By bridging geometric and algebraic concepts, this dissertation lays the groundwork for a comprehensive study of the Clifford structures on bundles and spinor fields. We delve into the K\"ahler-Atiyah bundle, which encapsulates the essence…

This manuscript attempts to present a way in which the classical construction of the Dirac operator can be carried over to the setting of diffeology. A more specific aim is to describe a procedure for gluing together two usual Dirac…

A generalized Clifford manifold is proposed in which there are coordinates not only for the basis vector generators, but for each element of the Clifford group, including the identity scalar. These new quantities are physically interpreted…

Support $\tau$-tilting modules correspond to some classes of categorical objects bijectively, such as two-term tilting complexes for any finite dimensional symmetric algebra. This fact motivates us to classify support $\tau$-tilting modules…

Given a bundle gerbe on a compact smooth manifold or, more generally, on a compact \'etale Lie groupoid $M$, we show that the corresponding category of gerbe modules, if it is non-trivial, is equivalent to the category of finitely generated…

Motivated by Wigner's theorem, a canonical construction is described that produces an Atiyah-Singer Dirac operator with both unitary and anti-unitary symmetries. This Dirac operator includes the Dirac operator for KR-theory as a special…

We consider a compact manifold whose boundary is a locally trivial fiber bundle and an associated pseudodifferential algebra that models fibered cusps at infinity. Using trace-like functionals that generate the 0-dimensional Hochschild…
