The families Clifford index and differential KO-theory

Algebraic Topology 2023-03-17 v1 Differential Geometry

Abstract

Extending ideas of Atiyah--Bott--Shapiro and Quillen, we construct a model for differential KO\rm KO-theory whose cocycles are families of Clifford modules with superconnection. The model is built to accommodate an analytic pushforward for bundles of spin manifolds, affording a differential refinement of Atiyah and Singer's families index.
