Let be a fibred manifold with -dimensional base and -dimensional fibres and be a vector bundle with the same base and with -dimensional fibres (the same ). If and , we classify all canonical constructions of a classical linear connection on from a system consisting of a general connection on , a torsion free classical linear connection on , a vertical parallelism on and a linear connection on . An example of such is the connection by I. Kolář.
We compute the index of the Dirac operator on a spin Riemannian manifold with conical singularities, acting from to with p,q > 1. When 1 + n/p - n/q > 0 we obtain the usual Atiyah-Patodi-Singer formula, but with a spectral cut at (n+1)/2 - n/q instead of 0 in the definition of the eta invariant. In particular we reprove Chou’s formula for the L² index. For 1 + n/p - n/q ≤ 0 the index formula contains an extra term related to the Calderón projector.
The Banach-Lie algebras ℌκ of all holomorphic infinitesimal isometries of the classical symmetric complex Banach manifolds of compact type (κ = 1) and non compact type (κ = −1) associated with a complex JB*-triple Z are considered and the Lie ideal structure of ℌκ is studied.
We revisit the linearization theorems for proper Lie groupoids around general orbits (statements and proofs). In the fixed point case (known as Zung’s theorem) we give a shorter and more geometric proof, based on a Moser deformation argument. The passage to general orbits (Weinstein) is given a more conceptual interpretation: as a manifestation of Morita invariance. We also clarify the precise statements of the Linearization Theorem (there has been some confusion on this, which has propagated throughout...
In the present work, using a formula describing all scalar spectral functions of a Carleman operator of defect indices in the Hilbert space that we obtained in a previous paper, we derive certain results concerning the localization of the spectrum of quasi-selfadjoint extensions of the operator .
