research

Summary of research interests: Global and Geometric Analysis, Partial Differential Equations on Manifolds with Singularities, Index Theory, Mathematical Physics, Differential Geometry. (If these words are incomprehensible, the celebrated Gauss-Bonnet Theorem gives the basic gist of some of what I do. The Atiyah-Singer Index Theorem is a more precise description of my research.)

The Atiyah-Singer index theorem


Here are the slides on the Atiyah-Singer index theorem "for beginners" that I gave at the MSRI (Mathematical Sciences Research Institute) during the fall of 2008:

The Atiyah-Singer index theorem I.
The Atiyah-Singer index theorem II.
Index theory on singular manifolds I.
Index theory on singular manifolds II.
