Spectral asymmetry for manifolds of special holonomy

Differential Geometry 2009-02-13 v1

Abstract

We define a measure of spectral asymmetry for G_2 and Spin(7) manifolds. We show that this invariant can be computed in terms of characteristic classes and the covariant constant form defining the G_2 or Spin(7) structure.
