Notes on continuity of discrete-spectrum Fredholm operators.

New Fredholm criteria for pseudodifferential operators on manifolds.

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…

Researchers prove Fredholm property for Dirac operator on specific spacetimes.

Study Dirac operators on incomplete cusp edge spaces, proving self-adjointness and Fredholm properties.

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…

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…

We explain the topology of the space, so called, Fredholm-Lagrangian-Grassmannain and the quantity ``Maslov index'' for paths in this space based on the standard theory of Functional Analysis. Our standing point is to define the Maslov index for arbitrary paths in terms of the fundamental spectral property of the Fredh…

Introduces Floer functions and Floerfolds for intrinsic properties.

Study of mixed equation combining gauge theory and symplectic geometry.

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

For every connected manifold with corners we use a homology theory called conormal homology, defined in terms of faces and incidences and whose cycles correspond geometrically to corner's cycles. Its Euler characteristic (over the rationals, dimension of the total even space minus the dimension of the total odd space),…

We find G2-manifolds with specific asymptotic properties.

We review the concepts of the index of a Fredholm operator, the spectral flow of a curve of self-adjoint Fredholm operators, the Maslov index of a curve of Lagrangian subspaces in symplectic Hilbert space, and the eta invariant of operators of Dirac type on closed manifolds and manifolds with boundary. We emphasize var…

Classifies non-linear Fredholm maps linking to stable homotopy groups of spheres.

We construct a Fredholm module on self-similar sets such as the Cantor dust, the Sierpinski carpet and the Menger sponge. Our construction is a higher dimensional analogue of Connes' combinatorial construction of the Fredholm module on the Cantor set. We also calculate the Dixmier trace of two operators induced by the …

Generalizes Novikov conjecture results to infinite-dimensional bundles.

We study Fredholm properties and index formulas for Dirac operators over complete Riemannian manifolds with straight ends. An important class of examples of such manifolds are complete Riemannian manifolds with pinched negative sectional curvature and finite volume.

New resonance theory for Anosov flows connects spectral properties to mixing measures.

Study shows Fredholmness of a Lorentzian Dirac operator on spacetimes.

This is a reference volume on polyfold and Fredholm theory.

Study shows solutions to certain equations form smooth manifolds.

Derives Fredholm criteria for isotypical components from a Simonenko principle.

The paper proves homotopy equivalences for spaces of unbounded Fredholm operators.

We investigate Seiberg-Witten theory in the presence of real structures. Certain conditions are obtained so that integer valued real Seiberg-Witten invariants can be defined. In general we study properties of the real Seiberg-Witten projection map from the point of view of Fredholm map degrees.

Develops calculus for QFB metrics, proving Fredholm properties and decay of harmonic forms.

The aim of this paper is to present the construction, out of the Kohn-Rossi complex, of a new hypoelliptic operator $Q_{L}$ on almost CR manifolds equipped with a real structure. The operator acts on all (p,q)-forms, but when restricted to (p,0)-forms and (p,n)-forms it is a sum of squares up to sign factor and lower o…

The spectral flow theorem is applied to operators on finite intervals.

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

First, we prove a local spectral flow formula (Theorem 3.7) for a differentiable curve of selfadjoint Fredholm operators. This formula enables us to prove in a simple way a general spectral flow formula. Secondly, we prove a splitting formula (Theorem 4.12) for the spectral flow of a curve of selfadjoint elliptic opera…

Study perturbs APS boundary conditions for Lorentzian Dirac 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…

The paper studies curvatures and austere properties of orbits in symmetric spaces.

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.

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 consider the mapping properties of generalized Laplace-type operators ${\mathcal L} = \nabla^* \nabla + {\mathcal R}$ on the class of quasi-asymptotically conical (QAC) spaces, which provide a Riemannian generalization of the QALE manifolds considered by Joyce. Our main result gives conditions under which such opera…

We recall the Chernoff-Marsden definition of weak symplectic structure and give a rigorous treatment of the functional analysis and geometry of weak symplectic Banach spaces. We define the Maslov index of a continuous path of Fredholm pairs of Lagrangian subspaces in continuously varying Banach spaces. We derive basic …

We describe two topologies on the space of unbounded Fredholm operators and we explain their K-theoretic relevance. In the process we also prove a very general result concerning the continuity of families of first order, elliptic boundary value problems.

In this paper we develop an integration theory for zero sets of polyfold Fredholm sections. The results are needed in the application of the polyfold theory. We use it for example in the construction of symplectic field theory.

This is the first paper in a series introducing a generalized Fredholm theory in a new class of smooth spaces called polyfolds. The theory will be illustrated in upcoming papers by applications to Floer Theory, Gromov-Witten Theory and Symplectic Field Theory.

We consider the operator algebra generated by pseudodifferential operators on a closed smooth surface and shift operator induced by a Morse--Smale diffeomorphism of this surface. Elements in this algebra are considered as operators in the scale of Sobolev spaces and the aim of this paper is to describe how Fredholm pro…

Let $U_c(H)={u: u is unitary and u-1 is compact}$ stand for the unitary Fredholm group. We prove the following convexity result. Denote by $d_\infty$ the rectifiable distance induced by the Finsler metric given by the operator norm in $U_c(H)$. If $u_0,u_1,u\in U_c(H)$ and the geodesic $β$ joining $u_0$ and $u_1$ in $U…

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…

Study the exponential map on surfaces using fluid dynamics.

We prove some Fredholm conditions for many algebras of differential operators on particular classes of open manifolds, which include asymptotically Euclidean or asymptotically hyperbolic manifolds. Our typical result is that an operator $P$ is Fredholm if, and only if, it is elliptic and some limit operators $(P_α)_{α\…

The main topic is the development of a Fredholm theory in a new class of spaces called M-polyfolds. In the subsequent Volume II the theory will be generalized to an even larger class of spaces called polyfolds, which can also incorporate local symmetries. The whole package provides a functional analytic framework to de…

This is the revised version of the second paper in a series introducing a generalized Fredholm theory in a new class of smooth spaces called polyfolds. The theory will be illustrated in upcoming papers by applications to Floer Theory, Gromov-Witten Theory and Symplectic Field Theory. Some proofs have been improved and …
