Kergin Approximation in Banach Spaces
We explore the convergence of Kergin interpolation polynomials of holomorphic
functions in Banach spaces, which need not be of bounded type. We also
investigate a case where the Kergin series diverges
Splitting the Curvature of the Determinant Line Bundle
It is shown that the determinant line bundle associated to a family of Dirac
operators over a closed partitioned manifold has a canonical Hermitian metric
with compatible connection whose curvature satisfies an additivity formula with
contributions from the families of Dirac operators over the two halves. This
curvature form is the natural differential representative which satisifies the
same splitting principle as the Chern class of the determinant line bundle.Comment: To appear in Proc. Am. Math. So
Zeta Forms and the Local Family Index Theorem
For a smooth family F of admissible elliptic pseudodifferential operators
with differential form coefficients associated to a geometric fibration of
manifolds M--> B we show that there is a natural zeta-form z(F,s) and
zeta-determinant- form det(F) in the de-Rham algebra of smooth differential
forms, generalizing the classical single operator spectral zeta function and
determinant. In the case where F is the curvature of a superconnection the zeta
form is exact, extending to families the Atiyah-Bott-Seeley zeta function
formula for the pointwise index, and equivalent to the transgression formula
for the graded Chern character. The zeta-determinant form leads to the
definition of the graded zeta-Chern class form. For a family of compatible
Dirac operators D with index bundle Ind(D) we prove a transgression formula
leading to a local density representing the Chern class c(Ind(D))in terms of
the A-hat genus and twisted Chern character. Globally the meromorphically
continued zeta form and zeta determinant form exist only at the level of
K-theory as characteristic class maps K(B)->H*(B).Comment: 34 page
A Laurent expansion for regularised integrals of holomorphic symbols
For a holomorphic family of classical pseudodifferential operators on a
closed manifold we give exact formulae for all coefficients in the Laurent
expansion of its Kontsevich-Vishik canonical trace. This generalizes a known
result identifying the Wodzicki residue with the pole at zero to all higher
order terms.Comment: Expanded explanations and application
