Collapsing and Dirac-type Operators
نویسنده
چکیده
We analyze the limit of the spectrum of a geometric Dirac-type operator under a collapse with bounded diameter and bounded sectional curvature. In the case of a smooth limit space B, we show that the limit of the spectrum is given by the spectrum of a certain first-order differential operator on B, which can be constructed using superconnections. In the case of a general limit space X , we express the limit operator in terms of a transversally elliptic operator on a G-space X̌ with X = X̌/G. As an application, we give a characterization of manifolds which do not admit uniform upper bounds, in terms of diameter and sectional curvature, on the k-th eigenvalue of the square of a Dirac-type operator. We also give a formula for the essential spectrum of the square of a Dirac-type operator on a finite-volume manifold with pinched negative sectional curvature.

The Dirac operator on collapsing S-bundles
We study the behavior of the spectrum of the Dirac operator on collapsing S1-bundles. Convergent eigenvalues will exist if and only if the spin structure is projectable.
متن کاملInverse Problem for Interior Spectral Data of the Dirac Operator with Discontinuous Conditions
In this paper, we study the inverse problem for Dirac differential operators with discontinuity conditions in a compact interval. It is shown that the potential functions can be uniquely determined by the value of the potential on some interval and parts of two sets of eigenvalues. Also, it is shown that the potential function can be uniquely determined by a part of a set of values of eigenfun...
متن کاملWeyl–titchmarsh M-function Asymptotics, Local Uniqueness Results, Trace Formulas, and Borg-type Theorems for Dirac Operators
We explicitly determine the high-energy asymptotics for Weyl– Titchmarsh matrices associated with general Dirac-type operators on half-lines and on R. We also prove new local uniqueness results for Dirac-type operators in terms of exponentially small differences of Weyl–Titchmarsh matrices. As concrete applications of the asymptotic high-energy expansion we derive a trace formula for Dirac oper...
متن کاملSymmetries and Supersymmetries of the Dirac-Type Operators on Curved Spaces
The role of the Killing–Yano tensors in the construction of the Dirac-type operators is pointed out. The general results are applied to the case of the four-dimensional Euclidean Taub–Newman–Unti–Tamburino space. Three new Dirac-type operators, equivalent to the standard Dirac operator, are constructed from the covariantly constant Killing–Yano tensors of this space. Finally the Runge–Lenz oper...
متن کاملQuadratic Estimates for Perturbed Dirac Type Operators on Doubling Measure Metric Spaces
We consider perturbations of Dirac type operators on complete, connected metric spaces equipped with a doubling measure. Under a suitable set of assumptions, we prove quadratic estimates for such operators and hence deduce that these operators have a bounded functional calculus. In particular, we deduce a Kato square root type estimate.
