Schwinger Terms and Cohomology of Pseudodifferential Operators
نویسنده
چکیده
We study the cohomology of the Schwinger term arising in second quantization of the class of observables belonging to the restricted general linear algebra. We prove that, for all pseudodifferential operators in 3+1 dimensions of this type, the Schwinger term is equivalent to the " twisted " Radul cocycle, a modified version of the Radul cocycle arising in non-commutative differential geometry. In the process we also show how the ordinary Radul cocycle for any pair of pseudodifferential operators in any dimension can be written as the phase space integral of the star commutator of their symbols projected to the appropriate asymptotic component.

Eta Forms and the Odd Pseudodifferential Families Index
Let A(t) be an elliptic, product-type suspended (which is to say parameter-dependant in a symbolic way) family of pseudodifferential operators on the fibres of a fibration φ with base Y. The standard example is A + it where A is a family, in the usual sense, of first order, self-adjoint and elliptic pseudodifferential operators and t ∈ R is the ‘suspending’ parameter. Let πA : A(φ) −→ Y be the ...
متن کاملThe Index of Operators on Foliated Bundles
We compute the equivariant cohomology Chern character of the index of elliptic operators along the leaves of the foliation of a flat bundle. The proof is based on the study of certain algebras of pseudodifferential operators and uses techniques for analizing noncommutative algebras similar to those developed in Algebraic Topology, but in the framework of cyclic cohomology and noncommutative geo...

In this paper we study properties of symbols such that these belong to class of symbols sitting insideSm ρ,φ that we shall introduce as the following.

Also we consider maxi...
متن کاملConformal Symbols and the Action of Contact Vector Fields over the Superline
Let K be the Lie superalgebra of contact vector fields on the supersymmetric line R. We compute the action of K on the modules of differential and pseudodifferential operators between spaces of tensor densities, in terms of their conformal symbols. As applications we deduce the geometric subsymbols, 1-cohomology, and various uniserial subquotients of these modules. We also outline the computati...

For three classes of elliptic pseudodifferential operators on a compact manifold with boundary which have ‘geometric K-theory’, namely the ‘transmission algebra’ introduced by Boutet de Monvel [5], the ‘zero algebra’ introduced by Mazzeo in [9, 10] and the ‘scattering algebra’ from [16] we give explicit formulæ for the Chern character of the index bundle in terms of the symbols (including norma...
