9783111169897: Spectral Flow: A Functional Analytic and Index-Theoretic Approach (De Gruyter Studies in Mathematics, 94)

Synopsis

This is the first treatment entirely dedicated to an analytic study of spectral flow for paths of selfadjoint Fredholm operators, possibly unbounded or understood in a semifinite sense. The importance of spectral flow for homotopy and index theory is discussed in detail. Applications concern eta-invariants, the Bott-Maslov and Conley-Zehnder indices, Sturm-Liouville oscillation theory, the spectral localizer and bifurcation theory.

  • Presents a self-contained functional analytic treatment of spectral flow
  • Includes a detailed analysis of the homotopy theory of the set of unbounded selfadjoint Fredholm operators
  • Provides an analysis of Bott-Maslov index via spectral flow
