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
, the
spectral
projection of the Dirac operator has finite trace in the Atiyah von Neumann algebra. This allows
us to define the
index in the even case, and we prove its compatibility with the Xie–Yu higher index and deduce
versions
of the classical Gromov–Lawson relative index theorems. Finally, we briefly discuss some
Gromov–Lawson
invariants.
