Higher relative index theorems for foliations
Higher relative index theorems for foliations
In this paper we solve the general case of the cohomological relative index problem for foliations of non-compact manifolds. In particular, we significantly generalize the groundbreaking results of Gromov and Lawson, [GL83], to Dirac operators defined along the leaves of foliations of non-compact complete Riemannian manifolds, by involving all the …
