Abstract Given an essentially unitary contraction and an arbitrary unitary dilation of it, there is a naturally associated spectral flow that is shown to be equal to the index of the operator. This result is interpreted in terms of the K-theory of an associated mapping cone. It is then extended to connect Z2 indices of odd symmetric Fredholm operators to a Z2-valued spectral flow.

Spectral Flow Argument Localizing an Odd Index Pairing

Abstract An odd Fredholm module for a given invertible operator on a Hilbert space is specified by an unbounded so-called Dirac operator with compact resolvent and bounded commutator with the given…

Spectral flow for skew-adjoint Fredholm operators

An analytic definition of a $\mathbb{Z}_2$-valued spectral flow for paths of real skew-adjoint Fredholm operators is given. It counts the parity of the number of changes in the orientation of the…

Parity as Z2 ‐valued spectral flow

This note is about the topology of the path space of linear Fredholm operators on a real Hilbert space. Fitzpatrick and Pejsachowicz introduced the parity of such a path, based on the Leray–Schauder…

Spectral Flows Associated to Flux Tubes

When a flux quantum is pushed through a gapped two- dimensional tight-binding operator, there is an associated spectral flow through the gap which is shown to be equal to the index of a Fredholm…

Laughlin arguments in arbitrary dimensions

The standard Laughlin argument shows that inserting a magnetic flux into a two-dimensional Hamiltonian leads to a spectral flow through a given gap which is equal to the Chern number of the…

The FKMM-invariant in low dimension

In this paper, we investigate the problem of the cohomological classification of “Quaternionic” vector bundles in low dimension ($$d\leqslant 3$$d⩽3). We show that there exists a characteristic class…

Spectral Flow of Monopole Insertion in Topological Insulators

Inserting a magnetic flux into a two-dimensional one-particle Hamiltonian leads to a spectral flow through a given gap which is equal to the Chern number of the associated Fermi projection. This…

Many-body Fredholm index for ground-state spaces and Abelian anyons

We propose a many-body index that extends Fredholm index theory to many-body systems. The index is defined for any charge-conserving system with a topologically ordered $p$-dimensional ground-state…

Abstract We study the topology of the nontrivial component, , of self-adjoint Fredholm operators on a separable Hilbert space. In particular, if {Bt } is a path of such operators, we can associate to…

An analytic approach to spectral flow in von Neumann algebras

The analytic approach to spectral flow is about ten years old. In that time it has evolved to cover an ever wider range of examples. The most critical extension was to replace Fredholm operators in…

Spectral asymmetry and Riemannian geometry. III

In Parts I and II of this paper ((4), (5)) we studied the ‘spectral asymmetry’ of certain elliptic self-adjoint operators arising in Riemannian geometry. More precisely, for any elliptic self-adjoint…

The Index of a Pair of Projections

We discuss pairs of self-adjoint projections with P − Q ∈ J_(2n + 1), the trace ideal, and prove that for m ≥ n, tr(P − Q)^(2m + 1) = tr(P − Q)^(2n + 1) = dim(Ker Q ∩ Ran P) − dim(Ker P ∩ Ran Q) is…
