چکیده
For differential operators which are invariant under the action of an abelian group Bloch theory is the tool of choice to analyze spectral properties. By shedding some new non-commutative light on this we motivate the introduction of a noncommutative Bloch theory for elliptic operators on Hilbert C-modules. It relates properties of C-algebras to spectral properties of module operators such as band structure, weak genericity of cantor spectra, and absence of discrete spectrum. It applies e.g. to differential operators invariant under a projective group action, such as Schrödinger operators with periodic magnetic field.

A traversable wormhole solution of general scalar–tensor field equations is presented. We have shown, after a numerical analysis for the behavior of the scalar field of Brans-Dicke theory, that the solution is completely singularity– free. Furthermore, the analysis of more general scalar field dependent coupling constants indicates that the gravitational memory phenomenon may play an important ...

The symmetries and conserved quantities of Manton's modified superconductiv-ity model with non-relativistic Maxwell-Chern-Simons dynamics (also related to the Quan-tized Hall Effect) are obtained in the " Kaluza-Klein type " framework of Duval et al. 1. Introduction Recently [1], Manton proposed a modified version of the Landau-Ginzburg theory of superconductivity. His equations, defined on (2 ...

The class of non-homogeneous operators which are based on the same vector field, when viewed as acting on appropriate Hilbert spaces, are shown to be isomorphic to each other. The method is based on expressing a first order non-homogeneous differential operator as a product of a scalar function, a differential operator, and the reciprocal scalar function.

K-theory allows us to define an analytical condition for the existence of 'false' gauge field copies through the use of the Atiyah-Singer index theorem. After establishing that result we discuss a possible extension of the same result without the help of the index theorem and suggest possible related lines of work.
