Floquet-Bloch functions on non-simply connected manifolds, the Aharonov-Bohm fluxes, and conformal invariants of immersed surfaces

Abstract

Spectral (Bloch) varieties of multidimensional differential operators on non-simply connected manifolds are defined. In their terms it is given a description of the analytical dependence of the spectra of magnetic Laplacians on non-simply connected manifolds on the values of the Aharonov-Bohm fluxes and a construction of analogues of spectral curves for two-dimensional Dirac operators on Riemann surfaces and, thereby, new conformal invariants of immersions of surfaces into 3- and 4-dimensional Euclidean spaces.
