Part of the Progress in Nonlinear Differential Equations and Their Applications series
Paperback / softback
Description
When visiting M.I.T. for two weeks in October 1994, Victor Guillemin made me enthusiastic about a problem in symplectic geometry which involved the use of the so-called spin-c Dirac operator.
Back in Berkeley, where I had l spent a sabbatical semester , I tried to understand the basic facts about this operator: its definition, the main theorems about it, and their proofs.
This book is an outgrowth of the notes in which I worked this out.
For me this was a great learning experience because of the many beautiful mathematical structures which are involved.
I thank the Editorial Board of Birkhauser, especially Haim Brezis, for sug gesting the publication of these notes as a book.
I am also very grateful for the suggestions by the referees, which have led to substantial improvements in the presentation.
Finally I would like to express special thanks to Ann Kostant for her help and her prodding me, in her charming way, into the right direction.
