Abstract

A generalization of Callias' index theorem for self adjoint Dirac operators with skew adjoint potentials on asymptotically conic manifolds is presented in which the potential term may have constant rank nullspace at infinity. The index obtained depends on the choice of a family of Fredholm extensions, though as in the classical version it depends only on the data at infinity.
