Eta-invariants were defined by \textit{M. F. Atiyah} et al. [Math. Proc. Camb. Philos. Soc. 77, 43--69 (1975; Zbl 0297.58008)] for the study of the index of the operators on compact manifolds with boundary. In the present paper the author is addressed to the unit ball of a Hermitian vector space with a special Riemannian metric, cf. \textit{S. Bechtluft-Sachs} [J. Funct. Anal. 174, No. 2, 251--263 (2000; Zbl 1026.53025)] for calculations of eta-invariants in a similar setting. Starting point for the author is the notion of permeable hypersurface, related to Ricci curvature, examples being totally geodesic hypersurfaces and hypersurfaces in a flat space. Multiplicative sequences of Pontryagin forms are then considered and, by combining results, interesting explicit expressions for eta-invariants are finally deduced.
