Generalizes Novikov conjecture results to infinite-dimensional bundles.

We provide a thorough construction of a system of compatible determinant line bundles over spaces of Fredholm operators, fully verify that this system satisfies a number of important properties, and include explicit formulas for all relevant isomorphisms between these line bundles. We also completely describe all possi…

New Fredholm criteria for pseudodifferential operators on manifolds.

Fredholm conditions for invariant operators on compact manifolds.

We study the space of holomorphic discs with boundary on a surface in a real 2-dimensional vector bundle over a compact 2-manifold. We prove that, if the ambient 4-manifold admits a fibre-preserving transitive holomorphic action, then a section with a single complex point has $C^{2,α}$-close sections such that any (non…

The abstract extends deformation and tangent groupoid constructions to infinite-dimensional manifolds.

Paper defines and proves a new analytic index for Fredholm operators.

Let $\Y$ be a smooth connected manifold, $Σ\subset\C$ an open set and $(σ,y)\to\scrP_y(σ)$ a family of unbounded Fredholm operators $D\subset H_1\to H_2$ of index 0 depending smoothly on $(y,σ)\in \Y\times Σ$ and holomorphically on $σ$. We show how to associate to $\scrP$, under mild hypotheses, a smooth vector bundle …

We explain the bundle structures of the {\it Determinant line bundle} and the {\it Quillen determinant line bundle} considered on the connected component of the space of Fredholm operators including the identity operator in an intrinsic way. Then we show that these two are isomorphic and that they are non-trivial line …

Study hypoelliptic operators on Carnot manifolds, extending index theory results.

We associate to a parametrized family $f$ of nonlinear Fredholm maps possessing a trivial branch of zeroes an {\it index of bifurcation} $β(f)$ which provides an algebraic measure for the number of bifurcation points from the trivial branch. The index $β(f)$ is derived from the index bundle of the linearization of the …

The paper calculates indices for families of Fredholm operators and their extensions.

We compute the relative zeta-function metric on the determinant line bundle for a family of elliptic boundary value problems of Dirac-type. To do this we prove a general formula relating the zeta-determinant to a Fredholm determinant over the boundary for a class of higher-order elliptic boundary value problems.

We show a generic finiteness result for least area planes in 3-dimensional hyperbolic space. Moreover, we prove that the space of minimal immersions of disk into hyperbolic space is a submanifold of a product bundle over a space of immersions of circle into sphere at infinity. The bundle projection map when restricted …

Study conically singular instantons over SU(3)-manifolds, proving existence and dimension formulas.

We clarify the relation between the Dixmier-Douady class on the space of self adjoint Fredholm operators (`universal B-field') and the curvature of determinant bundles over infinite-dimensional Grassmannians. In particular, in the case of Dirac type operators on a three dimensional compact manifold we obtain a simple a…

Researchers create a Fredholm module on fractal shapes like the Cantor set.

Branched covers of orbit cylinders are the basic examples of holomorphic curves studied in symplectic field theory. Since all curves with Fredholm index one can never be regular for any choice of cylindrical almost complex structure, we generalize the obstruction bundle technique of Taubes for determining multiple cove…

Notes on continuity of discrete-spectrum Fredholm operators.

Over a compact Kähler manifold, we provide a Fredholm alternative result for the Lichnerowicz operator associated to a Kähler metric with conic singularities along a divisor. We deduce several existence results of constant scalar curvature Kähler metrics with conic singularities: existence result under small deformatio…

The paper solves obstructions to the Fredholm perturbation property for manifolds with corners.

Let $X$ be a compact connected orientable CR manifold with the action of a connected compact Lie group $G$. Under natural pseudoconvexity assumptions we show that the CR Guillemin-Strernberg map is Fredholm at the level of Sobolev spaces of CR functions. As application we study this map for holomorphic line bundles whi…

For three classes of elliptic pseudodifferential operators on a compact manifold with boundary which have `geometric K-theory', namely the `transmission algebra' introduced by Boutet de Monvel, the `zero algebra' introduced by Mazzeo and the `scattering algebra' from [MR95k:58168] we give explicit formulae for the Cher…

This article provides a version of scale calculus geared towards a notion of (nonlinear) Fredholm maps between certain types of Frechet spaces, retaining as many as possible of the properties Fredholm maps between Banach spaces enjoy, and the existence of a constant rank theorem for such maps. It does so by extending t…

Study perturbs APS boundary conditions for Lorentzian Dirac operators.

We discuss the solution theory of operators of the form $\nabla_X + A$, acting on smooth sections of a vector bundle with connection $\nabla$ over a manifold $M$, where $X$ is a vector field having a critical point with positive linearization at some point $p \in M$. As an operator on a suitable space of smooth section…

Novel heat flow estimates on ALE manifolds for Schrödinger operators.

The infinite matrix `Schwartz' group $G^{-\infty}$ is a classifying group for odd K-theory and carries Chern classes in each odd dimension, generating the cohomology. These classes are closely related to the Fredholm determinant on $G^{-\infty}.$ We show that while the higher (even, Schwartz) loop groups of $G^{-\infty…

Graph continuous operators become Riesz continuous after multiplication by unitary operators.

We show that the existence of a Fredholm element of the zero calculus of pseudodifferential operators on a compact manifold with boundary with a given elliptic symbol is determined, up to stability, by the vanishing of the Atiyah-Bott obstruction. It follows that, up to small deformations and stability, the same symbol…

We describe a (nonlinear) Fredholm theory for a new class of ambient spaces, as well as for a certain type of categories. The theory is illustrated by an application to the category of stable maps.

A new formalism simplifies SO(3) Yang-Mills theory connections.

Let $X$ be a smooth compact manifold with corners which has two embedded boundary hypersurfaces $\partial_0 X , \partial_1 X$, and a fiber bundle $φ:\partial_0 X \to Y$ is given. By using the method of blowing up, we define a pseudodifferential culculus $Ψ^* _{Φ,b} (X)$ generalizing the $Φ$-calculus of Mazzeo and Melro…

We derive simple explicit formulas for the character of a cycle in the Connes' (b,B)-bicomplex of cyclic cohomology and give applications to the Fredholm modules and equivariant characteristic classes.

We study transversality for Lipschitz-Fredholm maps in the context of bounded Fréchet manifolds. We show that the set of all Lipschitz-Fredholm maps of a fixed index between Fréchet spaces has the transverse stability property. We give a straightforward extension of the Smale transversality theorem by using the general…

Let M be a complete orientable manifold of bounded geometry. Suppose that M has finitely many ends, each having a neighborhood quasi-isometric to a neighborhood of an end of an infinite cyclic covering of a compact manifold. We consider a class of exponentially weighted inner products (\cdot ,\cdot)_k on forms, indexed…
