Abstract

We compute the index of the Dirac operator on spin Riemannian manifolds with conical singularities, acting from Lp(Σ+)L^p(\Sigma^+) to Lq(Σ)L^q(\Sigma^-) with p,q>1p,q>1. When 1+npnq>01+\frac{n}{p}-\frac{n}{q}>0 we obtain the usual Atiyah-Patodi-Singer formula, but with a spectral cut at n+12nq\frac{n+1}{2}-\frac{n}{q} instead of 0 in the definition of the eta invariant. In particular we reprove Chou's formula for the L2L^2 index. For 1+npnq01+\frac{n}{p}-\frac{n}{q}\leq 0 the index formula contains an extra term related to the Calder\'on projector.
