For this decade, the Dirac operator on a submanifold has been studied as a restriction of the Dirac operator in $n$-dimensional euclidean space $\\EE^n$ to a surface or a space curve as physical models. These Dirac operators are identified with operators of the Frenet-Serret relation for a space curve case and of the generalized Weierstrass relation for a conformal surface case and completely represent the submanifolds. For example, the analytic index of Dirac operator of a space curve is identified with its writhing number. As another example, the operator determinants of the Dirac operators are closely related to invariances of the immersed objects, such as Euler-Bernoulli and Willmore functionals for a space curve and a conformal surface respectively. In this article, we will give mathematical construction of the Dirac operator by means of $\\Cal D$-module and reformulate my recent results mathematically.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2000-01-09T11:22:50.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "dirac operator", "submanifold differential operators", "frenet-serret relation", "generalized weierstrass", "module theory" ], "note": { "typesetting": "AMS-TeX", "pages": 22, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "1999math.....10052M" } } }
