Index in K-theory for Families of Fibred Cusp Operators
نویسندگان
چکیده
A families index theorem in K-theory is given for the setting of Atiyah, Patodi and Singer of a family of Dirac operators with spectral boundary condition. This result is deduced from such a K-theory index theorem for the calculus of cusp, or more generally fibred cusp, pseudodifferential operators on the fibres (with boundary) of a fibration; a version of Poincaré duality is also shown in this setting, identifying the stable Fredholm families with elements of a bivariant K-group.

Bott Periodicity for Fibred Cusp Operators
In the framework of fibred cusp operators on a manifold X associated to a boundary fibration Φ : ∂X → Y , the homotopy groups of the space G−∞ Φ (X;E) of invertible smoothing perturbations of the identity are computed in terms of the K-theory of T ∗Y . It is shown that there is a periodicity, namely the odd and the even homotopy groups are isomorphic among themselves. To obtain this result, one...
متن کاملFamilies Index for Pseudodifferential Operators on Manifolds with Boundary
An analytic families index is defined for (cusp) pseudodifferential operators on a fibration with fibres which are compact manifolds with boundaries. This provides an extension to the boundary case of the setting of the (pseudodifferential) Atiyah-Singer theorem and to the pseudodifferential case of the families Atiyah-Patodi-Singer index theorem for Dirac operators due to Bismut and Cheeger an...
متن کاملPseudodifferential Operators on Manifolds with Fibred Boundaries
Let X be a compact manifold with boundary. Suppose that the boundary is fibred, φ : ∂X −→ Y, and let x ∈ C∞(X) be a boundary defining function. This data fixes the space of ‘fibred cusp’ vector fields, consisting of those vector fields V on X satisfying V x = O(x2) and which are tangent to the fibres of φ; it is a Lie algebra and C∞(X) module. This Lie algebra is quantized to the ‘small calculu...
متن کاملFamilies Index for Manifolds with Hyperbolic Cusp Singularities
Manifolds with fibered hyperbolic cusp metrics include hyperbolic manifolds with cusps and locally symmetric spaces of Q-rank one. We extend Vaillant’s treatment of Dirac-type operators associated to these metrics by weaking the hypotheses on the boundary families through the use of Fredholm perturbations as in the family index theorem of Melrose and Piazza and by treating the index of families...
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 ...
