Abstract

The residue cocycle associated to a suitable spectral triple is the key component of the Connes-Moscovici local index theorem in noncommutative geometry. We review the relationship between the residue cocycle and heat kernel asymptotics. We use a modified version of the Getzler calculus to compute the cocycle for a class of Dirac-type operators introduced by Bismut, obtained by deforming a Dirac operator by a closed 3-form B. We also compute the cocycle in low-dimensions when the 3-form B is not closed.
