The relative $L^2$ index theorem for Galois coverings

Moulay-Tahar Benameur

Vol. 6 (2021), No. 3, 503–541
Abstract

Given a Galois covering of complete spin manifolds where the base metric has positive scalar curvature near infinity, we prove that for small enough 𝜖 > 0, the 𝜖 spectral projection of the Dirac operator has finite trace in the Atiyah von Neumann algebra. This allows us to define the L2 index in the even case, and we prove its compatibility with the Xie–Yu higher index and deduce L2 versions of the classical Gromov–Lawson relative index theorems. Finally, we briefly discuss some Gromov–Lawson L2 invariants.
