Elliptic operators and higher signatures

Eric Leichtnam, Paolo Piazza (2004)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Similarity:

Building on the theory of elliptic operators, we give a unified treatment of the following topics: - the problem of homotopy invariance of Novikov’s higher signatures on closed manifolds, - the problem of cut-and-paste invariance of Novikov’s higher signatures on closed manifolds, - the problem of defining higher signatures on manifolds with boundary and proving their homotopy invariance.

Comparison of Dirac operators on manifolds with

Bunke, Ulrich

Similarity:

The author introduces boundary conditions for Dirac operators D giving selfadjoint extensions such that the Hamiltonians H = D 2 define elliptic operators. Using finite propagation speed methods and assuming bounded geometry he estimates the trace of the difference of two heat operators e - t H associated to a pair of Dirac operators coinciding on cocompact sets.
