Abstract

We calculate the Witten index of a class of (non-Fredholm) Dirac-Schr\"odinger operators over Rd+1\mathbb{R}^{d+1} for d3d\geq 3 odd, and thus generalize known results for the case d=1d=1. For a concrete example of the potential, we give a more explicit index formula, showing that the Witten index assumes any real number on this class of operators.
