48 results for differential KO-theory

We provide several constructions in differential KO-theory. First, we construct a differential refinement of the A^\hat{A}-genus and a pushforward leading to a Riemann-Roch theorem. We set up a differential refinement of the Atiyah-Hirzebruch spectral sequence (AHSS) for differential KO-theory and explicitly identify t…

method Constructs eta-invariants and differential KO-character to determine differential KO-theory.
result Eta-invariants and index invariants completely determine differential KO-theory in degree (0 mod 8).

We provide a systematic approach to twisting differential KO-theory leading to a construction of the corresponding twisted differential Atiyah-Hirzebruch spectral sequence (AHSS). We relate and contrast the degree two and the degree one twists, whose description involves appropriate local systems. Along the way, we pro…

The main new result here is the cancellation of global anomalies in the Type I superstring, with and without D-branes. Our argument here depends on a precise interpretation of the 2-form abelian gauge field using KO-theory; then the anomaly cancellation follows from a geometric form of the full Atiyah-Singer index theo…

We establish a mod 2 index theorem for real vector bundles over 8k+2 dimensional compact pin^- manifolds. The analytic index is the reduced ηη invariant of (twisted) Dirac operators and the topological index is defined through KOKO-theory.

Doing surgery on the 5-torus, we construct a 5-dimensional closed spin-manifold M with π1(M)=Z4timesZ/3π_1(M) = Z^4times Z/3, so that the index invariant in the KO-theory of the reduced CC^*-algebra of π1(M)π_1(M) is zero. Then we use the theory of minimal surfaces of Schoen/Yau to show that this manifolds cannot carry a metric of pos…
