Differential operators for elliptic genera

On Elliptic Differential Operators with Shifts

The motivating point of our research was differential operators on the noncommutative torus studied by Connes [1, 2], who in particular obtained an index formula for such operators. These operators include shifts (more precisely, in this case, irrational rotations); hence our interest in general differential equations with shifts naturally arose. Let M be a smooth closed manifold. We consider o...

On the Spectral Properties of Degenerate Non-selfadjoint Elliptic systems of Differential Operators

The spectral properties of differential operators with matrix coefficients on elliptic systems with boundary conditions

Let $$(Lv)(t)=sum^{n} _{i,j=1} (-1)^{j} d_{j} left( s^{2alpha}(t) b_{ij}(t) mu(t) d_{i}v(t)right),$$ be a non-selfadjoint differential operator on the Hilbert space $L_{2}(Omega)$ with Dirichlet-type boundary conditions. In continuing of papers [10-12], let the conditions made on the operator $ L$ be sufficiently more general than [11] and [12] as defined in Section $1$. In this paper, we estim...

A Lefschetz Fixed Point Formula for Elliptic Differential Operators

Introduction. The classical Lefschetz fixed point formula expresses, under suitable circumstances, the number of fixed points of a continuous map ƒ : X-+X in terms of the transformation induced by ƒ on the cohomology of X. If X is not just a topological space but has some further structure, and if this structure is preserved by ƒ, one would expect to be able to refine the Lefschetz formula and ...

Hierarchical Interpolative Factorization for Elliptic Operators: Differential Equations

This paper introduces the hierarchical interpolative factorization for elliptic partial differential equations (HIF-DE) in two (2D) and three dimensions (3D). This factorization takes the form of an approximate generalized LU/LDL decomposition that facilitates the efficient inversion of the discretized operator. HIF-DE is based on the nested dissection multifrontal method but uses skeletonizati...
