Elliptic Theory and Noncommutative Geometry

Download or read book Elliptic Theory and Noncommutative Geometry written by Vladimir E. Nazaykinskiy and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-06-30 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comprehensive yet concise book deals with nonlocal elliptic differential operators. These are operators whose coefficients involve shifts generated by diffeomorphisms of the manifold on which the operators are defined. This is the first book featuring a consistent application of methods of noncommutative geometry to the index problem in the theory of nonlocal elliptic operators. To make the book self-contained, the authors have included necessary geometric material.
