The aim of these lectures is to report on the progress of the index problem in the last year. We will describe an extension of the index formula for closed manifolds (see [Atiyah and Singer 1963]) to manifolds with boundary. The work of Section 4, i.e., the proof of the general index theorem from Theorem 1 was done in collaboration with Singer.

The periodicity theorem for the infinite unitary group [Bott 1959] can be interpreted as a statement about complex vector bundles. As such it describes the relation between vector bundles over \( X \) and \( X\times S^2 \) , where \( X \) is a compact space and \( S^2 \) is the 2-sphere. This relation is most succinctly expressed by the formula
\[ K(X\times S^2) \simeq K(X)\otimes K(S^2), \]
where \( K(X) \) is the Grothendieck group of complex vector bundles over \( X \) . The general theory of these \( K \) -groups, as developed in [Atiyah and Hirzebruch 1961], has found many applications in topology and related fields. Since the periodicity theorem is the foundation stone of all this theory it seems desirable to have an elementary proof of it, and it is the purpose of this paper to present such a proof.

The classical Lefschetz fixed point formula expresses, under suitable circumstances, the number of fixed points of a continuous map \( f:X\to X \) in terms of the transformation induced by \( f \) on the cohomology of \( X \) . If \( X \) is not just a topological space but has some further structure, and if this structure is preserved by \( f \) , one would expect to be able to refine the Lefschetz formula and to say more about the nature of the fixed points. The purpose of this note is to present such a refinement (Theorem 1) when \( X \) is a compact differentiable manifold endowed with an elliptic differential operator (or more generally an elliptic complex). Taking essentially the classical operators of complex and Riemannian geometry we obtain a number of important special cases (Theorem 2, 3). The first of these was conjectured to us by Shimura and was proved by Eichler for dimension one.

The theory of lacunas for hyperbolic differential operators was created by I. G. Petrovsky who published the basic paper of the subject in 1945. Although its results are very clear, the paper is difficult reading and has so far not lead to studies of the same scope. We shall clarify and generalize Petrovsky’s theory.

The Yang–Mills functional over a Riemann surface is studied from the point of view of Morse theory. The main result is that this is a ‘perfect’ functional provided due account is taken of its gauge symmetry. This enables topological conclusions to be drawn about the critical sets and leads eventually to information about the moduli space of algebraic bundles over the Riemann surface. This in turn depends on the interplay between the holomorphic and unitary structures, which is analysed in detail.

The purpose of this note is to present a de Rham version of the localization theorems of equivariant cohomology, and to point out their relation to a recent result of Duistermaat and Heckman and also to a quite independent result of Witten. To a large extent all the material that we use has been around for some time, although equivariant cohomology is not perhaps familiar to analysts. Our contribution is therefore mainly an expository one linking together various points of view.
