Riesz continuity of the Atiyah–Singer Dirac operator under perturbations of local boundary conditions

Journal article, 2019

On a smooth complete Riemannian spin manifold with smooth compact boundary, we demonstrate that Atiyah–Singer Dirac operator /DB in L2 depends Riesz continuously on L∞ perturbations of local boundary conditions B. The Lipschitz bound for the map B→/DB(1+/D2B)−12 depends on Lipschitz smoothness and ellipticity of B and bounds on Ricci curvature and its first derivatives as well as a lower bound on injectivity radius away from a compact neighbourhood of the boundary. More generally, we prove perturbation estimates for functional calculi of elliptic operators on manifolds with local boundary conditions.
