چکیده
Abstract This is an expository paper about the index of Toeplitz operators, and in particular Boutet de Monvel’s theorem [5]. We prove as a corollary Bott periodicity, independently Atiyah-Singer theorem.

The Bott Periodicity Theorem
The Bott periodicity theorem is of fundamental importance in many areas of mathematics, from algebraic topology to functional analysis. It appears unexpectedly in different guises and I would like to explain some of these as well as the influence it has had on the development of different fields. I will concentrate on two roles that periodicity plays. First, periodicity allows one to deloop cla...
متن کاملBott Periodicity for Fibred Cusp Operators
In the framework of fibred cusp operators on a manifold X associated to a boundary fibration Φ : ∂X → Y , the homotopy groups of the space G−∞ Φ (X;E) of invertible smoothing perturbations of the identity are computed in terms of the K-theory of T ∗Y . It is shown that there is a periodicity, namely the odd and the even homotopy groups are isomorphic among themselves. To obtain this result, one...
متن کاملA new proof of the Bott periodicity theorem
We give a simplification of the proof of the Bott periodicity theorem presented by Aguilar and Prieto. These methods are extended to provide a new proof of the real Bott periodicity theorem. The loop spaces of the groups O and U are identified by considering the fibers of explicit quasifibrations with contractible total spaces. 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

متن کاملBott periodicity
1 Description The Periodicity Theorem was proved by Raoul Bott over fifty years ago (cf. survey [3], [4], [9]) and quickly became one of the strongest tools in homotopy theory, topology of manifolds and global analysis. The original theorem asserted that homotopy groups of the linear groups GL(n,F) where F is the field of real, complex or quaternion numbers are periodic i.e. πi(GL(k,F) ' πi+nF(...
متن کاملArrow’s Theorem as a Corollary
Arrow’s Impossibility Theorem is derived from a general theorem on social aggregation in “property spaces”. In the present proof, the weak-order structure of the domain and co-domain of the aggregation plays a purely combinatorial role.
