Abstract: | We calculate the homotopy groups of the space of elliptic boundary value problems for an elliptic differential operatorA of a first order and of the space of elliptic self-adjoint boundary value problems whenA is a formally self-adjoint. In particular we show that the spectral flow of anS
1 family of self-adjoint elliptic boundary value problems is well defined. This provides some information on spectral properties along the lines of the Vafa-Witten approach to spectral inequalities. |
