A major theme in geometric analysis is to construct and understand analytic invariants of a Riemannian manifold which only depend on the underlying smooth structure. Similarly, one can consider analytic invariants of a Hermitian complex manifold which only depend on the underlying complex structure. In this paper some new such invariants are introduced and computed in certain cases. They are called delocalized \(L^2\)-invariants here. The invariants depend on the choice of a conjugacy class in the fundamental group. For the trivial class consisting of the neutral element only one gets the usual \(L^2\)-invariants like \(L^2\)-Betti numbers, \(L^2\)-torsion, and \(L^2\)-holomorphic torsion. The general construction is in some sense intermediate between classical invariants and \(L^2\)-invariants. It is shown that in many cases the invariants do not depend on the metric. In some cases explicit formulas for the new invariants are given.
