In particular, we give a direct proof that the Freed-Lott differential analytic index is well defined, and a short proof of the differential Grothendieck-Riemann-Roch theorem in the setting of Freed-Lott differential K-theory. We also construct explicit ring isomorphisms between Freed-Lott differential K-theory and Simons-Sullivan differential K-theory, define the Simons-Sullivan differential analytic index, and prove the differential Grothendieck-Riemann-Roch theorem in the setting of Simons-Sullivan differential K-theory. / 2031-01-02

This paper is a survey of relative elliptic theory (i.e. elliptic theory in the category of smooth embeddings), closely related to the Sobolev problem, first studied by Sternin in the 1960s. We consider both analytic aspects to the theory (the structure of the algebra of morphismus, ellipticity, Fredholm property) and topological aspects (index formulas and Riemann-Roch theorems). We also study the algebra of Green operators arising as a subalgebra of the algebra of morphisms.

Das Hauptresultat dieser Arbeit ist ein regularisierter arithmetischer Satz von Riemann-Roch für ein hermitesches Geradenbündel, die isometrisch zum Geradenbündel den Spitzenformen vom geraden Gewicht ist, auf eine arithmetische Fläche, deren komplexe Faser isometrisch zu einer hyperbolischen Riemannschen Fläche ohne elliptische Punkte ist. Der Beweis des Resultats erfolgt durch metrische Degeneration: Wir regularisieren die betreffenden Metriken in einer Umgebung der Singularitäten, wenden dann den arithmetischen Riemann-Roch-Satz von Gillet und Soulé an und lassen schließlich den Parameter gegen Null gehen. Durch die metrische Degeneration entsteht auf beiden Seiten der Formel ein divergenter Term. Die asymptotische Entwicklung der Divergenz berechnet sich auf der einen Seite direkt aus der Definition der glatten arithmetischen Selbstschnittzahlen. Der divergente Term auf der anderen Seite ist die zeta-regularisierte Determinante des zu den regularisierten Metriken assoziierten Laplace-Operators, der auf den 1-Formen mit Werten in dem betrachteten hermitischen Geradenbündel operiert. Wir definieren und berechnen zuerst eine Regularisiereung des entsprechenden zu den singulären Metriken assoziierten Laplace-Operators; diese wird später im regularisierten Riemann-Roch-Satz auftauchen. Zu diesem Zweck passen wir Ideen von Jorgenson-Lundelius, D'Hoker-Phong und Sarnak auf die vorliegende Situation an und verallgemeinern diese. Schließlich beweisen wir eine Formel für den zum betrachteten hermitischen Geradenbündel assoziierten Wärmeleitungskern auf der Diagonalen bei einer Modellspitze. Diese Darstellung steht im Zusammenhang mit einer Entwicklung nach zur Whittaker-Gleichung assoziierten Eigenfunktionen, die im Anhang bewiesen wird. Weitere Abschätzungen des zum betrachteten hermitischen Geradenbündel gehörigen Wärmeleitungskern auf der komplexe Faser der arithmetischen Fläche schließen den Beweis des Hauptresultats ab. / The main result of the dissertation is an arithmetic Riemann-Roch theorem for the hermitian line bundle of cusp form of given even integer weights on an arithmetic surface whose complex fiber is isometric to an hyperbolic Riemann surface without elliptic points. The proof proceeds by metric degeneration: We regularize the metric under consideration in a neighborhood of the singularities, then we apply the arithmetic Riemann-Roch theorem of Gillet and Soulé, and finally we let the parameter go to zero. Both sides of the formula blow up through metric degeneration. On one side the exact asymptotic expansion is computed from the definition of the smooth arithmetic intersection numbers. The divergent term on the other side is the zeta-regularized determinant of the Laplacian acting on 1-forms with values in the chosen hermitian line bundle associated to the regularized metrics. We first define and compute a regularization of the determinant of the corresponding Laplacian associated to the singular metrics, which will later occur int he regularized arithmetic Riemann-Roch theorem. To do so we adapt and generalize ideas od Jorgenson-Lundelius, D'Hoker-Phong, and Sarnak. Then, we prove a formula for the on-diagonal heat kernel associated to the chosen hermitian line bundle on a model cusp, from which its behavior close to a cusp is transparent. This expression is related to an expansion in terms of eigenfunctions associated to the Whittaker equation, which we prove in an appendix. Further estimates on the heat kernel associated to the chosen hermitian line bundle on the complex fiber of the arithmetic surface prove the main theorem.

Chip-firing is a deceptively simple game played on the vertices of a graph, which was independently discovered in probability theory, poset theory, graph theory, and statistical physics. In recent years, chip-firing has been employed in the development of a theory of divisors on graphs analogous to the classical theory for Riemann surfaces. In particular, Baker and Norin were able to use this set up to prove a combinatorial Riemann-Roch formula, whose classical counterpart is one of the cornerstones of modern algebraic geometry. It is now understood that the relationship between divisor theory for graphs and algebraic curves goes beyond pure analogy, and the primary operation for making this connection precise is tropicalization, a certain type of degeneration which allows us to treat graphs as “combinatorial shadows” of curves. The development of this tropical relationship between graphs and algebraic curves has allowed for beautiful applications of chip-firing to both algebraic geometry and number theory. In this thesis we continue the combinatorial development of divisor theory for graphs. In Chapter 1 we give an overview of the history of chip-firing and its connections to algebraic geometry. In Chapter 2 we describe a reinterpretation of chip-firing in the language of partial graph orientations and apply this setup to give a new proof of the Riemann-Roch formula. We introduce and investigate transfinite chip-firing, and chip-firing with respect to open covers in Chapters 3 and 4 respectively. Chapter 5 represents joint work with Arash Asadi, where we investigate Riemann-Roch theory for directed graphs and arithmetical graphs, the latter of which are a special class of balanced vertex weighted graphs arising naturally in arithmetic geometry.
