Fredholm anomalies on manifold with corners of low codimensions and conormal corner cycles
Abstract
Given a connected manifold with corners of any codimension there is a very basic and computable homology theory called conormal homology defined in terms of faces and orientations of their conormal bundles, and whose cycles correspond geometrically to corner's cycles, these conormal homology groups are denoted by . Using our previous works we define an index morphism for a manifold with corners of codimension less or equal to three and called here the even conormal index morphism. In the case that is compact and connected and is an elliptic pseudodifferential operator in the associated calculus of we know, by our previous works and other authors works, that, up to adding an identity operator, can be perturbed (with a regularizing operator in the calculus) to a Fredholm operator iff (where is the principal symbol class) vanishes in the even conormal homology group . The main result of this paper is the explicit computation of the even and odd conormal index morphisms for a manifold with corners of codimension less or equal to three. The coefficients of the conormal corner cycles are given in terms of some suspended Atiyah-Singer indices of the maximal codimension faces of and in terms of some suspended Atiyah-Patodi-Singer indices of the non-maximal codimension faces of . As a corollary we give a complete caracterization to the obstruction of the Fredholm perturbation property for closed manifolds with corners of codimension less or equal to three in terms of the above mentioned indices of the faces, this allows us as well to give such a characterization in terms of the respective topological indices.
