The paper proves homotopy equivalences for spaces of unbounded Fredholm operators.
The paper calculates indices for families of Fredholm operators and their extensions.
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.
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.
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.
We find G2-manifolds with specific asymptotic properties.
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 …
The spectral flow theorem is applied to operators on finite intervals.
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…
The abstract extends deformation and tangent groupoid constructions to infinite-dimensional 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…
The study proves curvature rigidity for convex polytopes.
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…

Study Dirac operators on incomplete cusp edge spaces, proving self-adjointness and Fredholm properties.
Develops Hodge theory on ALG manifolds, proving existence and vanishing results.
We consider two calculi of pseudodifferential operators on manifolds with fibered boundary: Mazzeo's edge calculus, which has as local model the operators associated to products of closed manifolds with asymptotically hyperbolic spaces, and the phi calculus of Mazzeo and the second author, which is similarly modeled on…

Classifies non-linear Fredholm maps linking to stable homotopy groups of spheres.
Study of elliptic boundary value problems on non-compact manifolds.
This is an expository article. It discusses an approach to hypoelliptic Fredholm index theory based on noncommutative methods (groupoids, C*-algebras, K-theory). The paper starts with an explicit index theorem for scalar second order differential operators on 3-manifolds that are Fredholm but not elliptic. This low-bro…
Notes on continuity of discrete-spectrum Fredholm operators.
This is the first paper in a series which proposes and develops the polyfold Fredholm structure--Kuranishi structure correspondence, identifying these two abstract perturbative structures which are indispensable for constructing and understanding symplectic invariants in the most general settings. In this paper, I pres…
We show that elliptic complexes of (pseudo)differential operators on smooth compact manifolds with boundary can always be complemented to a Fredholm problem by boundary conditions involving global pseudodifferential projections on the boundary (similarly as the spectral boundary conditions of Atiyah, Patodi and Singer …
Study the geometry of hydrodynamics equations using diffeomorphism groups.
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.
New Fredholm criteria for pseudodifferential operators on manifolds.
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),…

New rigidity theorems for spin fill-ins with non-negative scalar curvature.
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 of index 0 depending smoothly on $(y,σ)\in \Y\times Σ$ and holomorphically on . We show how to associate to $\scrP$, under mild hypotheses, a smooth vector bundle …
Study shows solutions to certain equations form smooth manifolds.
We study the zeta determinant of global boundary problems of APS-type through a general theory for relative spectral invariants. In particular, we compute the zeta determinant for Dirac-Laplacian boundary problems in terms of a scattering Fredholm determinant over the boundary.
Derives Fredholm criteria for isotypical components from a Simonenko principle.
We introduce the notion of a {\vartheta}-summable Fredholm module over a locally convex dg algebra Ω and construct its Chern character as a cocycle on the entire cyclic complex of Ω, extending the construction of Jaffe, Lesniewski and Osterwalder to a differential graded setting. Using this Chern character, we prove an…
Complete, conformally flat metrics of constant positive scalar curvature on the complement of points in the -sphere, , , were constructed by R\. Schoen [S2]. We consider the problem of determining the moduli space of all such metrics. All such metrics are asymptotically periodic, and we develop…
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.
