In this paper we show the cobordism invariance of the index, and as an application we show the well-definedness of the index with respect to the choice of the open covering.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2014-09-04T07:21:14.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "19K56", "58G20" ], "keywords": [ "cobordism invariance", "local index", "well-definedness", "dirac-type operator", "open manifold" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 16, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2014arXiv1409.1344F" } } }
