Description

By employing K-theory to classify the Wilson Dirac operator on a lattice, we give a comprehensive formulation for various indices via its spectral flow. While the index of the overlap Dirac operator, which utilizes the Ginsparg-Wilson relation, is limited to flat tori in even dimensions, our formulation offers several key advantages: 1)It is straightforward to apply to the Atiyah-Patodi-Singer index for manifolds with boundaries. 2)The boundary can be curved, allowing for the inclusion of gravitational effects. 3)The mod-2 index in even and odd dimensions can be defined as a natural extension. In the talk, we describe its mathematical proof and give some numerical examples.
