In particular, when the base manifold has a fibration structure, a Riemann-Roch theorem for these invariants is established by computing the adiabatic limits of the associated η-invariants.展开更多

The analytic index is the reduced η invariant of(twisted) Dirac operators and the topological index is defined through KO-theory. Our main result extends the mod 2 index theorem of Atiyah and Singer(1971)to non-orientable manifolds.展开更多
