We show how the index formula for manifolds with fibered boundaries can be used to compute the index of the Dirac operator on Taub-NUT space twisted by an anti-self-dual generic instanton connection.
A multisection of a 4-manifold is a decomposition into 1-handlebodies intersecting pairwise along 3-dimensional handlebodies or along a central closed surface; this generalizes the Gay-Kirby trisections. We show how to compute the twisted…
