Abstract

Let $(M,J)$ be a compact almost hermitian $4$-manifold with a smooth embedded $J$-holomorphic curve $C$ representing the canonical class. Motivated by the symplectic Bogomolov--Miyaoka--Yau conjecture, we choose a twisted spin$^{\text{c}}$ Dirac operator ${\mathcal D}$ on $M$ satisfying $$ \operatorname{ind}{\mathcal D}=3c_2(M)-c_1^2(M). $$ We then use the curve $C$ to construct a complex-linear perturbation ${\mathcal A}$ of ${\mathcal D}$ whose singular set is $Z_{\alpha}\sqcup C$, where $Z_{\alpha}=\alpha^{-1}(0)$ for a transverse section $\alpha$ of $\Lambda^{1,0}M$ nonvanishing on $C$. Applying Maridakis'index localization theorem, we express $\operatorname{ind}{\mathcal D}$ as the sum of localized contributions: $3c_2(M)$ from $Z_{\alpha}$ and $-c_1^2(M)$ from $C$.

Geometric index theorems for holomorphic foliations and curves

Let $M$ be a complex surface endowed with a holomorphic projective connection and let $C \subset M$ be a compact smooth holomorphic curve. Given two singular holomorphic foliations $\mathcal{F}$ and $\mathcal{G}$ near $C$, with $C$ not $\mathcal{G}$-invariant, we attach to every point $p \in C$ an index $\mathrm{Ind}(\...

Bounded cohomology and optimal separating constant for representations

Let $\Sigma$ be a closed oriented surface of genus $>1$ and $M$ a complete hyperbolic 3-manifold with a marking $i:\Sigma\longrightarrow M$. We consider the case that $M$ has no parabolic cusps and at least one of the two ends is simply degenerate. For $\varGamma=\pi_1(\Sigma)$, let $\rho_M:\varGamma\longrightarrow \ma...

Scalar Curvature Flexibility in the Riemannian Burnett Compactness Class

Let $M$ be a connected smooth $n$-manifold without boundary, where $n\geq3$, and let $\kappa\in\mathbb{R}$, with $\kappa\leq0$ if $M$ is open. We prove that every smooth Riemannian metric $g_0$ with $\mathrm{Scal}_{g_0}\geq\kappa$ is a locally uniform limit of smooth Riemannian metrics $g_i$ with $\mathrm{Scal}_{g_i}=\...

A Milnor exact sequence for $E$-theory

For separable $C^*$-algebras $A$ and $B$, the $E$-theory group $E(A,B)$ carries a natural, generally non-Hausdorff, second-countable group topology, Hausdorff exactly when the closure of zero $\overline{\{0\}} \subseteq E(A,B)$ is trivial. The nonzero elements of $\overline{\{0\}}$ are the phantom classes, invisible to...

Geometric $K$-homology and operator $K$-theory for Hilbert manifolds

Poincar\'e duality is a classical theorem relating the homology and cohomology of closed oriented manifolds. This theorem has been extended to more general settings and to generalized (co)homology theories, including $K$-theory. In this paper, we construct an infinite-dimensional analogue of the $K$-theoretic Poincar\'...

The determinant of the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map for a surface with boundary and periods of holomorphic differentials on its double

Let $(M,g)$ be a smooth orientable $2d$ Riemannian manifold of genus $\mathfrak{g}$ with Riemannian metric $g$ and connected boundary $\Gamma$. Let $\Lambda$ be the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map on $\Gamma$ and let ${\rm det}_\zeta(\Lambda)$ be its (modified, i. e. with zero mode excluded) $\zeta$-regularized determinant. I...
