This book was released on 1996 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The analytic perturbation theory for eigenvalues of Dirac operators on odd dimensional manifolds with boundary is described in terms of [italic]extended L2 eigenvectors [end italics] on manifolds with cylindrical ends. These are generalizations of the Atiyah-Patodi-Singer extended [italic capital]L2 kernel of a Dirac operator. We prove that they form a discrete set near zero and deform analytically, in contrast to [italic capital]L2 eigenvectors, which can be absorbed into the continuous spectrum under deformations when the tangential operator is not invertible. We show that the analytic deformation theory for extended [italic capital]L2 eigenvectors and Atiyah-Patodi-Singer eigenvectors coincides.
