Index Theory and Non-commutative Geometry Ii. Dirac Operators and Index Bundles

چکیده
When the index bundle of a longitudinal Dirac type operator is transversely smooth, we define its Chern character in Haefliger cohomology and relate it to the Chern character of the K−theory index. This result gives a concrete connection between the topology of the foliation and the longitudinal index formula. Moreover, the usual spectral assumption on the Novikov-Shubin invariants of the operator is improved.

The Atiyah-patodi-singer Index Theorem for Dirac Operators over C∗-algebras
We prove an Atiyah-Patodi-Singer index theorem for Dirac operators twisted by C-vector bundles. We use it to derive a general product formula for η-forms and to define and study new ρ-invariants generalizing Lott’s higher ρ-form. The higher Atiyah-Patodi-Singer index theorem of LeichtnamPiazza can be recovered by applying the theorem to Dirac operators twisted by the Mishenko-Fomenko bundle ass...
متن کاملQuasi-Dirac Operators on the Sphere
We investigate examples of quasi-spectral triples over two-dimensional commutative sphere, which are obtained by modifying the order-one condition. We find quasi-Dirac operators and calculate the index paring with a representant of K-theory class to prove that the quasispectral triples are mutually inequivalent. MSC 2000: 58B34, 46L87, 34L40
متن کاملLocal Index Theory for Certain Fourier Integral Operators on Lie Groupoids
We develop a local index theory, in the sense of non-commutative geometry, for operators associated to non-proper and non-isometric actions of Lie groupoids on smooth submersions.
متن کاملCut-and-paste on Foliated Bundles
We discuss the behaviour of the signature index class of closed foliated bundles under the operation of cutting and pasting. Along the way we establish several index theoretic results: we define Atiyah-Patodi-Singer (≡ APS) index classes for Dirac-type operators on foliated bundles with boundary; we prove a relative index theorem for the difference of two APS-index classes associated to differe...
متن کاملAn Index Theorem for Families of Elliptic Operators Invariant with Respect to a Bundle of Lie Groups
We define the equivariant family index of a family of elliptic operators invariant with respect to the free action of a bundle G of Lie groups. If the fibers of G → B are simply-connected solvable, we then compute the Chern character of the (equivariant family) index, the result being given by an Atiyah-Singer type formula. We also study traces on the corresponding algebras of pseudodifferentia...
