We compute K-theory invariants of algebras of pseudodifferential operators on manifolds with corners and prove an equivariant index theorem for operators invariant with respect to an action of R. We discuss the relation between our results and the η-invariant.

I briefly review the arguments why the braneworld models with infinitevolume extra dimensions could solve the cosmological constant problem, evading Weinberg’s no-go theorem. Then I discuss in detail the established properties of these models, as well as the features which should be studied further in order to conclude whether these models can truly solve the problem. This article is dedicated ...

The Temperley-Lieb algebra T n with parameter 2 is the associative algebra

Infant faces are very salient stimuli. The Kindchenschema describes specific features that characterize a cute infant face. In this study we used a visual adaptation paradigm to investigate the universality of the perceptual properties of the Kindchenschema. In Experiment 1, twenty-four participants adapted to cute and less cute human infant faces and in Experiment 2, twenty-four new participan...

In [Wu], the noncommutative Atiyah-Patodi-Singer index theorem was proved. In this paper, we extend this theorem to the equivariant case.
