In the paper we consider the theory of elliptic operators acting in subspaces defined by pseudodifferential projections. This theory on closed manifolds is connected with the theory of boundary value problems for operators violating…
This is a short version of math.DG/0505537. For an acyclic representation of the fundamental group of a compact oriented odd-dimensional manifold, which is close enough to a unitary representation, we define a refinement of the Ray-Singer…
Sullivan--Simons developed a Cheeger--Simons differential character analogue for degree (0 mod 2) differential K-theory, giving a complete set of numerical invariants that determine a complex vector bundle with unitary connection on a base…
We study the index of the APS boundary value problem for a strongly Callias-type operator $D$ on a complete even dimensional Riemannian manifold $M$ (the odd dimensional case was considered in our previous paper arXiv:1706.06737). We use…
We study elliptic theory on manifolds with boundary represented as a covering space. Firstly, we consider boundary value problems, where the boundary conditions are allowed to mix the values of functions in the fibers of the covering. We…
In this paper, using the equivariant version of the Dai-Zhang higher spectral flow, we generalize the variation formula, embedding formula and the adiabatic limit formula for the Atiyah-Patodi-Singer eta invariants to the equivariant…
Nonlinear sigma models with non-compact target space and non-amen-able symmetry group were introduced long ago in the study of disordered electron systems. They also occur in dimensionally reduced quantum gravity; recently they have been…
In this paper we establish a formula, expressing the generalized Atiyah-Patodi-Singer index in terms of eta invariants of domain-wall massive Dirac operators, without assuming that the Dirac operator on the boundary is invertible. Compared…

We propose an abelian categorification of $\hat{Z}$-invariants for Seifert $3$-manifolds. First, we give a recursive combinatorial derivation of these $\hat{Z}$-invariants using graphs with certain hypercubic structures. Next, we consider…
We construct eta- and rho-invariants for Dirac operators, on the universal covering of a closed manifold, that are invariant under the projective action associated to a 2-cocycle of the fundamental group. We prove an Atiyah-Patodi-Singer…
We give a useful classification of the metabelian unitary representations of pi_1(M_K), where M_K is the result of zero-surgery along a knot K in S^3. We show that certain eta invariants associated to metabelian representations pi_1(M_K)…
This paper aims to provide an explicit computation of the equivariant noncommutative residue density of which yield the metric and Einstein tensors on even-dimensional Riemannian manifolds. A considerable contribution of this paper is the…
We announce a Godbillon-Vey index formula for longitudinal Dirac operators on a foliated bundle $(X,\F)$ with boundary; in particular, we define a Godbillon-Vey eta invariant on the boundary foliation, that is, a secondary invariant for…
We define an isotopy invariant of embeddings N -> R^m of manifolds into Euclidean space. This invariant together with the \alpha-invariant of Haefliger-Wu is complete in the dimension range where the \alpha-invariant could be incomplete. We…
In this paper, inspired by the spectral sequences constructed by signature operators with respect to the composition of fibrations, we define the "spectral sequences" for fiberwise Dirac operators and prove the equivariant family version of…
Meta-conformal invariance is a novel class of dynamical symmetries, with dynamical exponent $z=1$, and distinct from the standard ortho-conformal invariance. The meta-conformal Ward identities can be directly read off from the Lie algebra…
The first main result of this paper is to prove that the convergence of Lott's delocalized eta invariant holds for all differential operators with a sufficiently large spectral gap at zero. Furthermore, to each delocalized cyclic cocycle,…
In this paper, we introduce several new secondary invariants for Dirac operators on a complete Riemannian manifold with a uniform positive scalar curvature metric outside a compact set and use these secondary invariants to establish a…
We relate a recently introduced non-local geometric invariant of compact strictly pseudoconvex Cauchy-Riemann (CR) manifolds of dimension 3 to various eta-invariants in CR geometry: on the one hand a renormalized eta-invariant appearing…
