The paper addresses the expansion of Berezinian and super exterior powers, revealing new insights into supertraces.

We use invariance theory to compute the divergence term $a_{m+2,m}^{d+δ}$ in the super trace for the twisted de Rham complex for a closed Riemannian manifold.

A notion of n-Lie algebra introduced by V.T. Filippov can be viewed as a generalization of a concept of binary Lie algebra to the algebras with n-ary multiplication law. A notion of Lie algebra can be extended to Z_2-graded structures giving a notion of Lie superalgebra. Analogously a notion of n-Lie algebra can be ext…

Novel threefold partitioning of $L^2$-spinor space on cone links.

Paper constructs super integrable systems on color Lie algebra.

The Gauss-Bonnet Theorem is studied for edge metrics as a renormalized index theorem. These metrics include the Poincaré-Einstein metrics of the AdS/CFT correspondence. Renormalization is used to make sense of the curvature integral and the dimensions of the $L^2$-cohomology spaces as well as to carry out the heat equa…

In a rigorous construction of the path integral for supersymmetric quantum mechanics on a Riemann manifold, based on Bär and Pfäffle's use of piecewise geodesic paths, the kernel of the time evolution operator is the heat kernel for the Laplacian on forms. The path integral is approximated by the integral of a form on …

Following Feynman's prescription for constructing a path integral representation of the propagator of a quantum theory, a short-time approximation to the propagator for imaginary time, N=1 supersymmetric quantum mechanics on a compact, even-dimensional Riemannian manifold is constructed. The path integral is interprete…

Derives an index formula for families of end-periodic Dirac operators.

Local index theorem for chiral geometric operators proved using heat kernel.

Let $\mathcal F$ be a Lie foliation on a closed manifold $M$ with structural Lie group $G$. Its transverse Lie structure can be considered as a transverse action $Φ$ of $G$ on $(M,\mathcal F)$; i.e., an ``action'' which is defined up to leafwise homotopies. This $Φ$ induces an action $Φ^*$ of $G$ on the reduced leafwis…

New principle for supersymmetric localization on Lie groups.

We prove a local index theorem of Atiyah-Singer type for Dirac operators on manifolds with a Lie structure at infinity (Lie manifolds for short). With the help of a renormalized supertrace, defined on a suitable class of regularizing operators, the proof of the index theorem relies on a rescaling technique similar in s…
