"Dirac operators and Curvature on Large Riemannian Manifolds"

In 1920s,Dirac discovered the differential operator D,such that D2=-Laplacian operator,which is called Dirac operator now.In 1960s,Atiyah and Singer discovered another type of Dirac operator,which now is called Atiyah-Singer Operator,then applied the Atiyah-Singer index theorem in this special case,solved a series of important problem in geometry and topology.In 1980s,Gromov proposed Large Remannian Manifolds,(worked with Lawson)and used new Dirac operator techniques and ideas to get scalar curvature results on high dimensional Torus.My talk will be around these stuff.
