In this situation the cohomology is no longer defined. Note that it depends on the structure of the underlying spaces whether or not an operator is "small." This leads to a magical mix of perturbation and regularisation theory. In the general setting of Hilbert spaces compact operators are "small." In order to develop this theory, many elements of diverse mathematical disciplines, such as functional analysis, differential geometry, partial differential equation, homological algebra and topology have to be combined. All essential basics are summarised in the first chapter of this thesis. This contains classical elements of index theory, such as Fredholm operators, elliptic pseudodifferential operators and characteristic classes. Moreover we study the de Rham complex and introduce Sobolev spaces of arbitrary order as well as the concept of operator ideals. In the second chapter, the abstract theory of (Fredholm) quasicomplexes of Hilbert spaces will be developed. From the very beginning we will consider quasicomplexes with curvature in an ideal class. We introduce the Euler characteristic, the cone of a quasiendomorphism and the Lefschetz number. In particular, we generalise Euler's identity, which will allow us to develop the Lefschetz theory on nonseparable Hilbert spaces. Finally, in the third chapter the abstract theory will be applied to elliptic quasicomplexes with pseudodifferential operators of arbitrary order. We will show that the Atiyah-Singer index formula holds true for those objects and, as an example, we will compute the Euler characteristic of the connection quasicomplex. In addition to this we introduce geometric quasiendomorphisms and prove a generalisation of the Lefschetz fixed point theorem of Atiyah and Bott.}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{DiGesu2012, author = {Di Ges{\`u}, Giacomo}, title = {Semiclassical spectral analysis of discrete Witten Laplacians}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus-65286}, school = {Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, year = {2012}, abstract = {A discrete analogue of the Witten Laplacian on the n-dimensional integer lattice is considered.

The thesis presents an improved estimate of the set where the lower density is small in terms of the one dimensional Hausdorff measure. Moreover, if the support of the weight measure is compact, then the intrinsic diameter with respect to the support of the weight measure is estimated in terms of the generalized mean curvature. This estimate is in analogy to the diameter control for closed connected manifolds smoothly immersed in some Euclidean space of Peter Topping.

Im ihrem Artikel zeigen Mackaay und Picken,dass es eine bijektive Korrespodenz zwischen Deligne 2-Klassen \$\xi \in \check{H}^2(M, \mathcal{D}^2)\$ und Holonomie Abbildungen von der zweiten d{\"u}nnen Homotopiegruppe \$\pi_2^2(M)\$ in die abelsche Gruppe \$U(1)\$ gibt. Im zweiten Artikel wird eine Verallgemeinerung dieses Theorems bewiesen: Picken zeigt, dass es eine Bijektion gibt zwischen Deligne 2-Kozykeln und gewissen 2-dimensionalen topologischen Quantenfeldtheorien. In dieser Arbeit zeigen wir, dass diese beiden Theoreme in allen Dimensionen gelten.Wir betrachten zun{\"a}chst den Holonomie Fall und k{\"o}nnen mittels simplizialen Methoden nachweisen, dass die Gruppe der glatten Deligne \$d\$-Klassen isomorph ist zu der Gruppe der glatten Holonomie Abbildungen von der \$d\$-ten d{\"u}nnen Homotopiegruppe \$\pi_d^d(M)\$ nach \$U(1)\$, sofern \$M\$ eine \$(d-1)\$-zusammenh{\"a}ngende Mannigfaltigkeit ist. Wir vergleichen dieses Resultat mit einem Satz von Gajer (1999). Gajer zeigte, dass jede Deligne \$d\$-Klasse durch eine andere Klasse von Holonomie-Abbildungen rekonstruiert werden kann, die aber nicht nur Holonomien entlang von Sph{\"a}ren, sondern auch entlang von allgemeinen \$d\$-Mannigfaltigkeiten in \$M\$ enth{\"a}lt. Dieser Zugang ben{\"o}tigt dann aber nicht, dass \$M\$ hoch-zusammenh{\"a}ngend ist. Wir zeigen, dass im Falle von flachen Deligne \$d\$-Klassen unser Rekonstruktionstheorem sich von Gajers unterscheidet, sofern \$M\$ nicht als \$(d-1)\$, sondern nur als \$(d-2)\$-zusammenh{\"a}ngend angenommen wird. Stiefel Mannigfaltigkeiten besitzen genau diese Eigenschaft, und wendet man unser Theorem auf diese an und vergleicht das Resultat mit dem von Gajer, so zeigt sich, dass es zuviele Deligne Klassen rekonstruiert. Dies bedeutet, dass unser Rekonstruktionsthreorem ohne die Zusatzbedingungen an die Mannigfaltigkeit M nicht auskommt, d.h. unsere Rekonstruktion ben{\"o}tigt zwar weniger Informationen {\"u}ber die Holonomie entlang von d-dimensionalen Mannigfaltigkeiten, aber daf{\"u}r muss M auch \$(d-1)\$-zusammenh{\"a}ngend angenommen werden. Wir zeigen dann, dass auch das zweite Theorem verallgemeinert werden kann: Indem wir das Konzept einer Picken topologischen Quantenfeldtheorie in beliebigen Dimensionen einf{\"u}hren, k{\"o}nnen wir nachweisen, dass jeder Deligne \$d\$-Kozykel eine solche \$d\$-dimensionale Feldtheorie mit zwei besonderen Eigenschaften, der d{\"u}nnen Invarianz und der Glattheit, induziert. Wir beweisen, dass jede \$d\$-dimensionale topologische Quantenfeldtheorie nach Picken mit diesen zwei Eigenschaften auch eine Deligne \$d\$-Klasse definiert und pr{\"u}fen nach, dass diese Konstruktion sowohl surjektiv als auch injektiv ist. Demzufolge sind beide Gruppen isomorph.}, language = {en} }
