Title: Dirac Operators with Potential



Abstract: I will give some examples that illustrate the index theory of Dirac-type operators with a potential term. Such operators provide examples of elliptic Fredholm operators on manifolds that are non-compact, and furthermore generalize nicely to the equivariant setting. As such, they could be studied from the point of view of operator algebras, representation theory, and also mathematical physics. I give an example of an application of Dirac-type operators with potential to topology.
