The Noncommutative Residue about Witten Deformation

In this paper, we compute lower dimensional volumes Vol_4~((1,1)) and Vol_6~((2,2)) about Witten deformation for 4, 6-dimensional spin manifolds with boundary respectively, and get assosiated Kastler–Kalau–Walze type theorems. We also give theoritic explaination of the gravitational action for 4, 6 dimensional manifolds with boundary by these noncommutative residues.     

An equivariant higher index theory and nonpositively curved manifolds

In this paper, we define an equivariant higher index map from to K_∗(C^∗Γ(X)) if a torsion-free discrete group Γ acts on a manifold X properly, where C^∗Γ(X) is the norm closure of all locally compact, Γ-invariant operators with finite propagation. When Γ acts on X properly and cocompactly, this equivariant higher index map coincides with the Baum-Connes map [P. Baum, A. Connes, K-theory for discrete groups, in: D. Evens, M. Takesaki (Eds.), Operator Algebras and Applications, Cambridge Univ. Press, Cambridge, 1989, pp. 1-20; P. Baum, A. Connes, N. Higson, Classifying space for proper actions and K-theory of group C^∗-algebras, in: C^∗-Algebras: 1943-1993, San Antonio, TX, 1993, in: Contemp. Math., vol. 167, Amer. Math. Soc., Providence, RI, 1994, pp. 240-291]. When Γ is trivial, this equivariant higher index map is the coarse Baum-Connes map [J. Roe, Coarse cohomology and index theory on complete Riemannian manifolds, Mem. Amer. Math. Soc. 104 (497) (1993); J. Roe, Index Theory, Coarse Geometry, and the Topology of Manifolds, CBMS Reg. Conf. Ser. Math., vol. 90, Amer. Math. Soc., Providence, RI, 1996]. If X is a simply-connected complete Riemannian manifold with nonpositive sectional curvature and Γ is a torsion-free discrete group acting on X properly and isometrically, we prove that the equivariant higher index map is injective.     

An equivariant index for proper actions III: The invariant and discrete series indices

We study two special cases of the equivariant index defined in part I of this series. We apply this index to deformations of ${\mathrm{Spin}}^{\mathrm{c}}$-Dirac operators, invariant under actions by possibly noncompact groups, with possibly noncompact orbit spaces. One special case is an index defined in terms of multiplicities of discrete series representations of semisimple groups, where we assume the Riemannian metric to have a certain product form. The other is an index defined in terms of sections invariant under a group action. We obtain a relation with the analytic assembly map, quantisation commutes with reduction results, and Atiyah–Hirzebruch type vanishing theorems. The arguments are based on an explicit decomposition of ${\mathrm{Spin}}^{\mathrm{c}}$-Dirac operators with respect to a global slice for the action.     

Actions of totally disconnected groups and equivariant singular homology

We study equivariant singular homology in the case of actions of totally disconnected locally compact groups on topological spaces. Theorem A says that if G is a totally disconnected locally compact group and X is a G-space, then any short exact sequence of covariant coefficient systems for G induces a long exact sequence of corresponding equivariant singular homology groups of the G-space X. In particular we consider the case where G is a totally disconnected compact group, i.e., a profinite group, and G acts freely on X. Of special interest is the case where G is a p-adic group, p a prime. The conjecture that no p-adic group, p a prime, can act effectively on a connected topological manifold, is namely known to be equivalent to the famous Hilbert-Smith conjecture. The Hilbert-Smith conjecture is the statement that, if a locally compact group G acts effectively on a connected topological manifold M, then G is a Lie group.     

Cyclic cocycles on deformation quantizations and higher index theorems

We construct a nontrivial cyclic cocycle on the Weyl algebra of a symplectic vector space. Using this cyclic cocycle we construct an explicit, local, quasi-isomorphism from the complex of differential forms on a symplectic manifold to the complex of cyclic cochains of any formal deformation quantization thereof. We give a new proof of Nest-Tsygan's algebraic higher index theorem by computing the pairing between such cyclic cocycles and the K-theory of the formal deformation quantization. Furthermore, we extend this approach to derive an algebraic higher index theorem on a symplectic orbifold. As an application, we obtain the analytic higher index theorem of Connes-Moscovici and its extension to orbifolds.     

An index theorem for gauge-invariant families: The case of solvable groups

We define the gauge-equivariant index of a family of elliptic operators invariant with respect to the free action of a family of Lie groups (these families are called ``gauge-invariant families' in what follows). If the fibers of are simply-connected and solvable, we compute the Chern character of the gauge-equivariant index, the result being given by an Atiyah–Singer type formula that incorporates also topological information on the bundle . The algebras of invariant pseudodifferential operators that we study, and , are generalizations of ``parameter dependent' algebras of pseudodifferential operators (with parameter in R q), so our results provide also an index theorem for elliptic, parameter dependent pseudodifferential operators. We apply these results to study Fredholm boundary conditions on a simplex. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Fredholm index and spectral flow in non-self-adjoint case

A version of the "Fredholm index = spectral flow" theorem is proved for general families of elliptic operators {A(t)} t∈R on closed (compact and without boundary) manifolds. Here we do not require that A(t), t∈R or its leading part is self-adjoint.     

Group algebras of Lie nilpotency index 12 and 13

Let G be a group and let K be a field of characteristic p>0. Lie nilpotent group algebras of strong Lie nilpotency index up to 11 have already been classified. In this paper, our aim is to classify the group algebras KG which are strongly Lie nilpotent of index 12 or 13.     

The localized longitudinal index theorem for Lie groupoids and the van Est map

We define the “localized index” of longitudinal elliptic operators on Lie groupoids associated with Lie algebroid cohomology classes. We derive a topological expression for these numbers using the algebraic index theorem for Poisson manifolds on the dual of the Lie algebroid. Underlying the definition and computation of the localized index, is an action of the Hopf algebroid of jets around the unit space, and the characteristic map it induces on Lie algebroid cohomology. This map can be globalized to differentiable groupoid cohomology, giving a definition of the “global index”, that can be computed by localization. This correspondence between the “global” and “localized” index is given by the van Est map for Lie groupoids.     

Stability in the Gromov-Shubin index theorem

We investigate the upper semicontinuity of the dimension of the solution space for an elliptic equation with conditions on a compact nowhere dense set.

     

On the extremal Merrifield-Simmons index and Hosoya index of quasi-tree graphs

It is well known that the two graph invariants, “the Merrifield-Simmons index” and “the Hosoya index” are important in structural chemistry. A graph G is called a quasi-tree graph, if there exists u₀ in V(G) such that G−u₀ is a tree. In this paper, at first we characterize the n-vertex quasi-tree graphs with the largest, the second-largest, the smallest and the second-smallest Merrifield-Simmons indices. Then we characterize the n-vertex quasi-tree graphs with the largest, the second-largest, the smallest and the second-smallest Hosoya indices, as well as those n-vertex quasi-tree graphs with k pendent vertices having the smallest Hosoya index.     

Use of the Szeged index and the revised Szeged index for measuring network bipartivity

We have revisited the Szeged index (Sz) and the revised Szeged index (Sz^∗), both of which represent a generalization of the Wiener number to cyclic structures. Unexpectedly we found that the quotient of the two indices offers a novel measure for characterization of the degree of bipartivity of networks, that is, offers a measure of the departure of a network, or a graph, from bipartite networks or bipartite graphs, respectively. This is because the two indices assume the same values for bipartite graphs and different values for non-bipartite graphs. We have proposed therefore the quotient Sz/Sz^∗ as a measure of bipartivity. In this note we report on some properties of the revised Szeged index and the quotient Sz/Sz^∗ illustrated on a number of smaller graphs as models of networks.
