Abstract

Topological degrees of continuous mappings between manifolds of even dimension are studied in terms of index theory of pseudo-differential operators. The index formalism of non-commutative geometry is used to derive analytic integral formulas for the index of a 0:th order pseudo-differential operator twisted by a H\"older continuous vector bundle. The index formula gives an analytic formula for the degree of a H\"older continuous mapping between even-dimensional manifolds. The paper is an independent continuation of the paper "Analytic formulas for topological degree of non-smooth mappings: the odd-dimensional case".
