Jumps of the Eta-invariant
In 2], Atiyah, Patodi and Singer introduced an invariant D of any self-adjoint elliptic diierential operator D on an odd-dimensional oriented closed manifold M, in order to prove an index theorem for manifolds with boundary. For the germi-nal case of the \signature operator"the relevant D is (d ? d), where the Hodge duality operator is determined by the Reimannian metric on M. They consider, mo...
متن کاملEta Invariant and Conformal Cobordism
In this note we study the problem of conformally flat structures bounding conformally flat structures and show that the eta invariants give obstructions. These lead us to the definition of an Abelian group, the conformal cobordism group, which classifies the conformally flat structures according to whether they bound conformally flat structures in a conformally invariant way. The eta invariant ...
متن کاملAbsolute Torsion and Eta-invariant
In a recent joint work with V. Turaev [6], we defined a new concept of combinatorial torsion which we called absolute torsion. Compared with the classical Reidemeister torsion, it has the advantage of having a well-determined sign. Also, the absolute torsion is defined for arbitrary orientable flat vector bundles, and not only for unimodular ones, as is classical Reidemeister torsion. In this p...
متن کاملRegularity of the Eta Function on Manifolds with Cusps
On a spin manifold with conformal cusps, we prove under an invertibility condition at infinity that the eta function of the twisted Dirac operator has at most simple poles and is regular at the origin. For hyperbolic manifolds of finite volume, the eta function of the Dirac operator twisted by any homogeneous vector bundle is shown to be entire.
متن کاملBoundaries, Eta Invariant and the Determinant Bundle
Cobordism invariance shows that the index, in K-theory, of a family of pseudodifferential operators on the boundary of a fibration vanishes if the symbol family extends to be elliptic across the whole fibration. For Dirac operators with spectral boundary condition, Dai and Freed [5] gave an explicit version of this at the level of the determinant bundle. Their result, that the eta invariant of ...
