Type of course (Veranstaltungsart)
Vorlesung

German title
Diracoperatoren und grobe Geometrie

Contents
Coarse geometry is the framework to study large scale geometry. Some interesting spectral
properties of Dirac operators on complete manifolds, in particular the essential spectrum, are
invariant under local changes. So it is natural to study them using methods of coarse geometry. In
this course we give an introduction to coarse geometry in general, and coarse K-homology as an
example of a coarse homology. We then consider Dirac-type operators on complete manifolds and
capture their index classes in coarse K-homology. We apply these ideas to index theory and
geometry, e.g. by finding obstructions against positive scalar curvature. This course is for
advanced master students and PhD-students with a modest background in global analysis or Riemannian
geometry.

Literature
This course is intended as an introduction to the field using the language as developed in
https://arxiv.org/pdf/1607.03657. More concretely we will explain parts of
https://arxiv.org/pdf/1706.06959 and https://arxiv.org/pdf/2411.01646.
