K-Theory and Elliptic Operators
نویسنده
چکیده
This expository paper is an introductory text on topologicalK-theory and the Atiyah-Singer index theorem, suitable for graduate students or advanced undegraduates already possessing a background in algebraic topology. The bulk of the material presented here is distilled from Atiyah’s classic “K-Theory” text, as well as his series of seminal papers “The Index of Elliptic Operators” with Singer. Additional topics include equivariant K-theory, the G-index theorem, and Bott’s paper “The Index Theorem for Homogeneous Differential Operators”. It also includes an appendix with a proof of Bott periodicity, as well as sketches of proofs for both the standard and equivariant versions of the K-theory Thom isomorphism theorem, in terms of the index for families of elliptic operators. A second appendix derives the Atiyah-Hirzebruch spectral sequence. This text originated as notes from a series of lectures given by the author as an undergraduate at Princeton. In its current form, the author has used it for graduate courses at the University of Oregon. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification. Primary: 55N15, 58J20; Secondary: 19L47

Asymptotic distribution of eigenvalues of the elliptic operator system
Since the theory of spectral properties of non-self-accession differential operators on Sobolev spaces is an important field in mathematics, therefore, different techniques are used to study them. In this paper, two types of non-self-accession differential operators on Sobolev spaces are considered and their spectral properties are investigated with two different and new techniques.

On Graded K-theory, Elliptic Operators and the Functional Calculus
Let A be a graded C∗-algebra. We characterize Kasparov’s K-theory group K̂0(A) in terms of graded ∗-homomorphisms by proving a general converse to the functional calculus theorem for self-adjoint regular operators on graded Hilbert modules. An application to the index theory of elliptic differential operators on smooth closed manifolds and asymptotic morphisms is discussed.
متن کاملHomological index formulas for elliptic operators over C*-algebras
We prove index formulas for elliptic operators acting between spaces of sections of C∗-vector bundles on a closed manifold. The formulas involve Karoubi’s Chern character from K-theory of a C∗algebra to de Rham homology of smooth subalgebras. We show how they apply to the higher index theory for coverings and to flat foliated bundles, and prove an index theorem for C∗-dynamical systems associat...

"Fredholm realizations of elliptic symbols on manifolds with boundary II: fibered boundary." in Motives, quantum field theory, and pseudodifferential operators
We consider two calculi of pseudodifferential operators on manifolds with fibered boundary: Mazzeo’s edge calculus, which has as local model the operators associated to products of closed manifolds with asymptotically hyperbolic spaces, and the φ calculus of Mazzeo and the second author, which is similarly modeled on products of closed manifolds with asymptotically Euclidean spaces. We construc...

In this paper we study properties of symbols such that these belong to class of symbols sitting insideSm ρ,φ that we shall introduce as the following. So for because hypoelliptic pseudodifferential operatorsplays a key role in quantum mechanics we will investigate some properties of M−hypoelliptic pseudodifferential operators for which define base on this class of symbols. Also we consider maxi...
