Quadratic estimates and functional calculi of perturbed Dirac operators

speaker: Alan G. R. McIntosh (Australian National University)

abstract: We prove quadratic estimates for complex perturbations of Dirac-type operators, and thereby show that such operators have a bounded functional calculus. As an application we show that spectral projections of the Hodge-Dirac operator on compact manifolds depend analytically on L-infinity changes in the metric. We also recover a unified proof of many results in the Calderón program, including the Kato square root problem and the boundedness of the Cauchy operator on Lipschitz curves and surfaces.
