Abstract

Given a fiber bundle ZMBZ \to M \to B and a flat vector bundle EME \to M with a compatible action of a discrete group GG, and regarding B/GB / G as the non-commutative space corresponding to the crossed product algebra, we construct an analytic torsion form as a non-commutative deRham differential form. We show that our construction is well defined under the weaker assumption of positive Novikov-Shubin invariant. We prove that this torsion form appears in a transgression formula, from which a non-commutative Riamannian-Roch-Grothendieck index formula follows.
