This theory on closed manifolds is connected with the theory of boundary value problems for operators violating Atiyah-Bott condition. We prove an index formula for elliptic operators in subspaces defined by even projections on odd-dimensional manifolds and for boundary value problems, generalizing the classical result of Atiyah-Bott. Besides a topological contribution of Atiyah-Singer type, the index formulas contain an invariant of subspaces defined by even projections. This homotopy invariant can be expressed in terms of the eta-invariant. The results also shed new light on P.Gilkey's work on eta-invariants of even-order operators.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "1999-07-06T05:29:38.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "58G03", "58G10", "58G12", "58G25", "19K56" ], "keywords": [ "elliptic operators", "boundary value problems", "operators violating atiyah-bott condition", "index formulas contain" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 39, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
