On some analytical index formulas related to operator-valued symbols.
We consider a class of nonlocal operators associated with a compact Lie group G acting on a smooth manifold. A notion of symbol of such operators is introduced and an index formula for elliptic elements is obtained. The symbol in this situation is an element of a noncommutative algebra (crossed product by G) and to obtain an index formula, we define the Chern character for this algebra in the framework of noncommutative geometry.
We give an explicit construction of the trace on the algebra of quantum observables on a symplectiv orbifold and propose an index formula.
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.
We consider almost-complex structures on whose total Chern classes differ from that of the standard (integrable) almost-complex structure. E. Thomas established the existence of many such structures. We show that if there exists an “exotic” integrable almost-complex structures, then the resulting complex manifold would have specific Hodge numbers which do not vanish. We also give a necessary condition for the nondegeneration of the Frölicher spectral sequence at the second level.
In this note we prove some results in flat and differential -theory. The first one is a proof of the compatibility of the differential topological index and the flat topological index by a direct computation. The second one is the explicit isomorphisms between Bunke-Schick differential -theory and Freed-Lott differential -theory.
We give an introduction into and exposition of Seiberg-Witten theory.
