We compute the eta function $\eta(s)$ and its corresponding $\eta$-invariant for the Atiyah-Patodi-Singer operator $\mathcal{D}$ acting on an orientable compact flat manifold of dimension $n =4h-1$, $h\ge 1$, and holonomy group $F\simeq…

Let (M,g) be a compact Riemannian spin manifold. The Atiyah-Singer index theorem yields a lower bound for the dimension of the kernel of the Dirac operator. We prove that this bound can be attained by changing the Riemannian metric g on an…

This is an expository article. It discusses an approach to hypoelliptic Fredholm index theory based on noncommutative methods (groupoids, C*-algebras, K-theory). The paper starts with an explicit index theorem for scalar second order…

We show that the Atiyah-Patodi-Singer $\eta$-invariant can be related to the temperature dependent Witten index of a noncompact theory and give a new proof of the APS theorem using scattering theory. We relate the $\eta$-invariant to a…

This article is a tribute to the memory of Professor Enzo Martinelli, with deep respect and reconesance. Nicolae Teleman. The index formula is a local statement made on global and local data; for this reason we introduce local Alexander -…

We prove a local index theorem of Atiyah-Singer type for Dirac operators on manifolds with a Lie structure at infinity (Lie manifolds for short). With the help of a renormalized supertrace, defined on a suitable class of regularizing…

Let $M$ be a globally hyperbolic manifold with complete spacelike Cauchy hypersurface $\Sigma \subset M$. Building on past and recent works of B\"ar and Strohmaier, we extend their Fredholm result of the Atiyah-Singer Dirac operator on…

By means of fixed point index theory for multi-valued maps, we provide an analogue of the classical Birkhoff--Kellogg Theorem in the context of discontinuous operators acting on affine wedges in Banach spaces. Our theory is fairly general…

We study the index theory of hypoelliptic operators on Carnot manifolds -- manifolds whose Lie algebra of vector fields is equipped with a filtration induced from sub-bundles of the tangent bundle. A Heisenberg pseudodifferential operator,…

We derive a formula for the eta invariants of equivariant Dirac operators on quotients of compact Lie groups, and for their infinitesimally equivariant extension. As an example, we give some computations for spheres.
