We show how to assign to any immersed torus in $R^3$ or $S^3$ a Riemann surface such that the immersion is described by functions defined on this surface. We call this surface the spectrum or the spectral curve of the torus. The spectrum contains important information about conformally invariant properties of the torus and, in particular, relates to the Willmore functional. We propose a simple proof that for isothermic tori in $R^3$ (this class includes constant mean curvature tori and tori of revolution) the spectrum is invariant with respect to conformal transformations of $R^3$. We show that the spectral curves of minimal tori in $S^3$ introduced by Hitchin and of constant mean curvature tori in $R^3$ introduced by Pinkall and Sterling are particular cases of this general spectrum. The construction is based on the Weierstrass representation of closed surfaces in $R^3$ and the construction of the Floquet--Bloch varieties of periodic differential operators.

We show that zero is not an eigenvalue of the conformal Laplacian for generic Riemannian metrics. We also discuss non-compactness for sequences of metrics with growing number of negative eigenvalues of the conformal Laplacian.
We give an explicit description of the full asymptotic expansion of the Schwartz kernel of the complex powers of $m$-Laplace type operators $L$ on compact Riemannian manifolds in terms of Riesz distributions. The constant term in this asymptotic expansion turns turns out to be given by the local zeta function of $L$. In particular, the constant term in the asymptotic expansion of the Greens function $L^{-1}$ is often called the mass of $L$, which (in case that $L$ is the Yamabe operator) is an important invariant, namely a positive multiple of the ADM mass of a certain asymptotically flat manifold constructed out of the given data. We show that for general conformally invariant $m$-Laplace operators $L$ (including the GJMS operators), this mass is a conformal invariant in the case that the dimension of $M$ is odd and that $ker L = 0$, and we give a precise description of the failure of the conformal invariance in the case that these conditions are not satisfied.
We introduce a notion of compatibility between (almost) Dirac structures and (1,1)-tensor fields extending that of Poisson-Nijenhuis structures. We study several properties of the Dirac-Nijenhuis structures thus obtained, including their connection with holomorphic Dirac structures, the geometry of their leaves and quotients, as well as the presence of hierarchies. We also consider their integration to Lie groupoids, which includes the integration of holomorphic Dirac structures as a special case.
Let G be a finite connected simple graph. We define the moduli space of conformal structures on G. We propose a definition of conformally covariant operators on graphs, motivated by [25]. We provide examples of conformally covariant operators, which include the edge Laplacian and the adjacency matrix on graphs. In the case where such an operator has a nontrivial kernel, we construct conformal invariants, providing discrete counterparts of several results in [11,12] established for Riemannian manifolds. In particular, we show that the nodal sets and nodal domains of null eigenvectors are conformal invariants.
In this note, we consider the Dirac operator $D$ on a Riemannian symmetric space $M$ of noncompact type. Using representation theory we show that $D$ has point spectrum iff the $hat A$-genus of its compact dual does not vanish. In this case, if $M$ is irreducible then $M = U(p,q)/U(p) times U(q)$ with $p+q$ odd, and $Spec_p(D) = {0}$.
