Submanifold Differential Operators in $\Cal D$-Module Theory II: Generalized Weierstrass and Frenet-Serret Relations as Dirac Equations
Abstract
Description
This article is one of a series of papers. 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.
