The longitudinal cocycle and the index of Toeplitz operators (Q1177892): Difference between revisions

Let \(D\) be a selfadjoint leafwise elliptic operator on a foliated manifold \(M\). Let \(P\) be the projection defined by \(P=\chi_{[0,\infty)}(D)\). The Toeplitz operators are operators of the form \(T_ \varphi =PM_ \varphi P\), \(\varphi\in C(M)\). A topological formula for the index of a Toeplitz opertor with invertible symbol is obtained. The extension generated by the Toeplitz operators is constructed. The results obtained are applied to construct refined invariants of an elliptic operator on a closed manifold.
