Periodic Dirac Operator

SynopsisIn an earlier paper we considered periodic Dirac operators and obtained criteria for them to be self-adjoint and for their spectra to be devoid of eigenvalues of finite multiplicity. The question of the existence of eigenvalues of infinite multiplicity was left open. In this article we obtain further criteria for self-adjointness and show that under these conditions periodic Dirac operators do not possess eigenvalues of infinite multiplicity. We also obtain a spectral gap result.

We study sub-Dirac operators associated to left-invariant bracket-generating sub-Riemannian structures on compact quotients of nilpotent semi-direct products $G=\mathsf{R}^n\rtimes_A\mathsf{R}$. We prove that these operators admit an $L^2$-basis of eigenfunctions. Explicit examples of this type show that the spectrum of these operators can be non-discrete and that eigenvalues may have infinite multiplicity. In this case the sub-Dirac operator is neither Fredholm nor hypoelliptic.

AbstractWe prove that the eigenvalues of the n-dimensional massive Dirac operator $${\mathscr {D}}_0 + V$$ D 0 + V , $$n\ge 2$$ n ≥ 2 , perturbed by a potential V, possibly non-Hermitian, are contained in the union of two disjoint disks of the complex plane, provided V is sufficiently small with respect to the mixed norms $$L^1_{x_j} L^\infty _{{\widehat{x}}_j}$$ L x j 1 L x ^ j ∞ , for $$j\in \{1,\dots ,n\}$$ j ∈ { 1 , ⋯ , n } . In the massless case, we prove instead that the discrete spectrum is empty under the same smallness assumption on V, and in particular the spectrum coincides with the spectrum of the unperturbed operator: $$\sigma ({\mathscr {D}}_0+V)=\sigma ({\mathscr {D}}_0)={\mathbb {R}}$$ σ ( D 0 + V ) = σ ( D 0 ) = R . The main tools used are an abstract version of the Birman–Schwinger principle, which allows in particular to control embedded eigenvalues, and suitable resolvent estimates for the Schrödinger operator.

AbstractFor a single Dirac operator on a closed manifold the cocycle introduced by Jaffe-Lesniewski-Osterwalder [19] (abbreviated here to JLO), is a representative of Connes' Chern character map from the K-theory of the algebra of smooth functions on the manifold to its entire cyclic cohomology. Given a smooth fibration of closed manifolds and a family of generalized Dirac operators along the fibers, we define in this paper an associated bivariant JLO cocycle. We then prove that, for any l ≥ 0, our bivariant JLO cocycle is entire when we endow smoooth functions on the total manifold with the Cl+1 topology and functions on the base manifold with the Cl topology. As a by-product of our theorem, we deduce that the bivariant JLO cocycle is entire for the Fréchet smooth topologies. We then prove that our JLO bivariant cocycle computes the Chern character of the Dai-Zhang higher spectral flow.

We give lower bounds for the eigenvalues of the submanifold Dirac operator in terms of intrinsic and extrinsic curvature expressions. We also show that the limiting cases give rise to a class of spinor fields generalizing that of Killing spinors. We conclude by translating these results in terms of intrinsic twisted Dirac operators.

Spectral properties of a special class of infinite dimensional Dirac operatorsQ(α)on the abstract boson-fermion Fock spaceℱ(ℋ,𝒦)associated with the pair(ℋ,𝒦)of complex Hilbert spaces are investigated, whereα∈Cis a perturbation parameter (a coupling constant in the context of physics) and the unperturbed operatorQ(0)is taken to be a free infinite dimensional Dirac operator. A variety of the kernel ofQ(α)is shown. It is proved that there are cases where, for all sufficiently large|α|withα<0,Q(α)has infinitely many nonzero eigenvalues even ifQ(0)has no nonzero eigenvalues. Also Fredholm property ofQ(α)restricted to a subspace ofℱ(ℋ,𝒦)is discussed.

We investigate the spin-1/2 fermions on quantum-two spheres. It is shown that the wave functions of fermions and a Dirac operator on quantum-two spheres can be constructed in a manifestly covariant way under the quantum group SU (2)q. The concept of total angular momentum and chirality can be expressed by using q-analog of Pauli-matrices and appropriate commutation relations.

AbstractThe aim of this paper is to define cubic Dirac operators for colour Lie algebras. We give a necessary and sufficient condition to construct a colour Lie algebra from an ϵ-orthogonal representation of an ϵ-quadratic colour Lie algebra. This is used to prove a strange Freudenthal–de Vries formula for basic colour Lie algebras as well as a Parthasarathy formula for cubic Dirac operators of colour Lie algebras. We calculate the cohomology induced by this Dirac operator, analogously to the algebraic Vogan conjecture proved by Huang and Pandžić.
