Abstract

Let MM be a spin manifold, the Dirac operator with coefficient in the universal flat Hilbert Cπ1(M)C^\ast \pi_1(M)-module determines a "Rosenberg index element" which, according to B.Hanke and T.Schick, subsumes the enlargeablility obstruction of positive scalar curvature on MM. In this note, we generalize this result to the case of spin foliation. More precisely, given a foliation (M,F)(M,F) with FF spin, we shall define a foliation version of "Rosenberg index element" and prove that it is nonzero at the presence of compactly enlargeability of (M,F)(M,F).
