We study the interplay between basic Dirac operator and transverse Killing and twistor spinors. In order to obtain results for general Riemannian foliations with bundle-like metric we consider transverse Killing spinors that appear as…

In this note, we look at estimates for the scalar curvature k of a Riemannian manifold M which are related to spin^c Dirac operators: We show that one may not enlarge a Kaehler metric with positive Ricci curvature without making k smaller…

In this paper, we get the Kastler-Kalau-Walze theorem associated to Dirac operators with torsion on compact manifolds with boundary. We give two kinds of operator-theoretic explanations of the gravitational action in the case of…

In this paper we present an explicit construction for the fundamental solution to the Dirac and Laplace operator on some non-orientable conformally flat manifolds. We first treat a class of projective cylinders and tori where we can study…

We show that there exist smooth, simply connected, four-dimensional spin manifolds which do not admit Einstein metrics, but nonetheless satisfy the strict Hitchin-Thorpe inequality. Our construction makes use of the Bauer/Furuta cohomotopy…

We show that the periodic $\eta$-invariants introduced by Mrowka--Ruberman--Saveliev~\cite{MRS3} provide obstructions to the existence of cobordisms with positive scalar curvature metrics between manifolds of dimensions $4$ and $6$. The…

We consider the Dirac operator on compact quaternionic Kaehler manifolds and prove a lower bound for the spectrum. This estimate is sharp since it is the first eigenvalue of the Dirac operator on the quaternionic projective space.

In this paper, we give an optimal lower bound for the eigenvalues of the basic Dirac operator on a quaternion-Kahler foliation. The limiting case is characterized by the existence of quaternion-Kahler Killing spinors. We end this paper by…

In differential geometry of surfaces the Dirac operator appears intrinsically as a tool to address the immersion problem as well as in an extrinsic flavour (that comes with spin transformations to comformally transfrom immersions) and the…

We describe the topological structure of closed manifolds of dimension no less than four which admit Morse-Smale diffeomorphisms such that its non-wandering set contains any number of sink periodic points, and any number of source periodic…

Let G be a discrete group, and let M be a closed spin manifold of dimension m>3 with pi_1(M)=G. We assume that M admits a Riemannian metric of positive scalar curvature. We discuss how to use the L2-rho invariant and the delocalized eta…

On manifolds with non-trivial Killing tensors admitting a square root of the Killing-Yano type one can construct non-standard Dirac operators which differ from, but commute with, the standard Dirac operator. We relate the index problem for…

Let $M$ be a globally hyperbolic manifold with complete spacelike Cauchy hypersurface $\Sigma \subset M$. Building on past and recent works of B\"ar and Strohmaier, we extend their Fredholm result of the Atiyah-Singer Dirac operator on…

We give explicit Fredholm conditions for classes of pseudodifferential operators on suitable singular and non-compact spaces. In particular, we include a "user's guide" to Fredholm conditions on particular classes of manifolds including…

In this paper, we introduce the spectral Einstein functional for perturbations of Dirac operators on manifolds with boundary. Furthermore, we provide the proof of the Dabrowski-Sitarz-Zalecki type theorems associated with the spectral…

The Dirac equation in a curved spacetime depends on a field of coefficients (essentially the Dirac matrices), for which a continuum of different choices are possible. We study the conditions under which a change of the coefficient fields…

It is well-known that spin structures and Dirac operators play a crucial role in the study of positive scalar curvature metrics (psc-metrics) on compact manifolds. Here we consider a class of non-spin manifolds with "almost spin" structure,…

We derive a number of spectral results for Dirac operators in geometrically nontrivial regions in $\mathbb{R}^2$ and $\mathbb{R}^3$ of tube or layer shapes with a zigzag type boundary using the corresponding properties of the Dirichlet…

On a n-dimensional connected compact manifold with non-empty boundary equipped with a Riemannian metric, a spin structure and a chirality operator, we study some properties of a spin conformal invariant defined from the first eigenvalue of…

We prove a scalar curvature rigidity theorem for convex polytopes. The proof uses the Fredholm theory for Dirac operators on manifolds with boundary. A variant of a theorem of Fefferman and Phong plays a central role in our analysis.
