Inverse Problems and Index Formulae for Dirac Operators
[ Abstract ]
We consider a selfadjoin Dirac-type operator $D_P$ on a vector bundle $V$ over a compact Riemannian manifold $(M, g)$ with a nonempty boundary.

The operator $D_P$ is specified by a boundary condition $P(u|_{\\partial M})=0$ where $P$ is a projector which may be a non-local, i.e. a pseudodifferential operator.

We assume the existence of a chirality operator which decomposes $L2(M, V)$ into two orthogonal subspaces $X_+ \\oplus X_-$.

In the talk we consider the reconstruction of $(M, g)$, $V$, and $D_P$ from the boundary data on $\\partial M$.

The data used is either the Cauchy data, i.e. the restrictions to $\\partial M \\times R_+$ of the solutions to the hyperbolic Dirac equation, or the boundary spectral data, i.e. the set of the eigenvalues and the boundary values of the eigenfunctions of $D_P$. We obtain formulae for the index and prove uniqueness results for the inverse boundary value problems. We apply the obtained results to the classical Dirac-type operator in $M\\times \\C4$, $M \\subset \\R3$. The presented results have been done in collaboration with Yaroslav Kurylev (Loughborough, UK).
