Outline

In this talk, we will discuss an index problem arising fromfunctional analysis, i.e. the Arveson-Douglas conjecture.We will present some recent progress in the study of thisindex problem.

This is a fundamental and beautiful problem connected tomany different branches of Mathematics. We would like totake this opportunity to encourage our audience to join ourjourney of exploring this problem.

This talk is based on joint work with R. Douglas, M.Jabbari, and G. Yu.

An example of a non-radical ideal

When I is not radical, the geometry of the space ∂ΩI is notsufficient to catch the full information of the K-homology class[T (QI)]. This can be seen in the following example.

Example

For m = 2, consider the ideal I = 〈z21〉 / A = C[z1, z2].

The quotient QI can be written as the sum of two space

L2a,1(D)⊕ L2

a,2(D),

where D is the unit disk inside the complex plane C, andL2a,1(−) (and L2

a,2(−)) is the weighted Bergman space with

A Hilbert bundle (work in progress)

Let u ∈ C− 0. Consider Ipk(u) = 〈pk − u〉, a family ofprinciple ideals.

Let Hku be the orthogonal complement of Ipk(u) in L2a(B5).

Proposition (Douglas-Jabbari-T-Yu)

The family Hku forms a Hilbert bundle Hk over the punctureddisk D∗ε0 with a sufficiently small radius ε0.And there is a canonical Hermitian connection ∇ on the Hilbertbundle Hku.

Remark

We would like to view (Hk,∇) as the analytic analog of theMilnor fibration in his study of hypersurfaces with isolatedsingularities.

A Hilbert bundle (work in progress)

Let u ∈ C− 0. Consider Ipk(u) = 〈pk − u〉, a family ofprinciple ideals.Let Hku be the orthogonal complement of Ipk(u) in L2

a(B5).

Proposition (Douglas-Jabbari-T-Yu)

The family Hku forms a Hilbert bundle Hk over the punctureddisk D∗ε0 with a sufficiently small radius ε0.And there is a canonical Hermitian connection ∇ on the Hilbertbundle Hku.

Remark

We would like to view (Hk,∇) as the analytic analog of theMilnor fibration in his study of hypersurfaces with isolatedsingularities.
