In this paper, we use the [Formula: see text]-spin theorem to show that the Davis hyperbolic 4-manifold admits harmonic spinors. This is the first example of a closed hyperbolic [Formula: see text]-manifold that admits harmonic spinors. We also explicitly describe the spinor bundle of a spin hyperbolic 2- or 4-manifold and show how to calculated the subtle sign terms in the [Formula: see text]-spin theorem for an isometry, with isolated fixed points, of a closed spin hyperbolic 2- or 4-manifold…

Abstract We give a new proof of a result of Sullivan [Hyperbolic geometry and homeomorphisms, in Geometric topology (ed. J. C. Cantrell), pp. 543–555 (Academic Press, New York, 1979)] establishing…
The G-index of a closed, spin, hyperbolic manifold of dimension 2 or 4
. In this paper, we develop general techniques for computing the Atiyah-Singer ˆ G -index of a spin, closed, hyperbolic 2- or 4-manifold, and apply these techniques to compute the ˆ G -index of the…
Compact hyperbolic manifolds without spin structures
We exhibit the first examples of compact orientable hyperbolic manifolds that do not have any spin structure. We show that such manifolds exist in all dimensions $n \geq 4$. The core of the argument…
Monopole Floer homology and invariant theta characteristics
. We describe a relationship between the monopole Floer homology of three-manifolds and the geometry of Riemann surfaces. Consider an automorphism ϕ of a compact Riemann surface Σ with quotient P 1 .…
The Ĝ-Index of a Spin, Closed, Hyperbolic Manifold of Dimension 2 Or 4
In this paper, we develop general techniques for computing the Atiyah–Singer $\hat G$-index of a spin, closed, hyperbolic 2- or 4-manifold and apply these techniques to compute the $\hat G$-index…
