Abstract

We consider families of generalized Dirac operators D~t~ with constant principal symbol and constant essential spectrum such that the endpoints are gauge equivalent, i.e., D~1~ = W*D~0~W. The spectral flow un any gap in the essential spectrum we express as the Fredholm index of 1 + (W ‐ 1)P where P is the spectral projection on the interval d, ∞) with respect to D~0~ and d is in the gap. We reduce the computation of this index to the Atiyah‐Singer index theorem for elliptic pseudodifferential operators. We find an invariant of the Riemannian geometry for odd dimensional spin manifolds estimating the length of gaps in the spectrum of the Dirac operator.

This paper is devoted to a general min-max characterization of the eigenvalues in a gap of the essential spectrum of a self-adjoint unbounded operator. We prove an abstract theorem, then we apply it to the case of Dirac operators with a Coulomb-like potential. The result is optimal for the Coulomb p

We study a family of differential operators L in two variables, depending on the coupling parameter 0 that appears only in the boundary conditions. Our main concern is the spectral properties of L , which turn out to be quite different for < 1 and for > 1. In particular, L has a unique self-adjoint
