    Let \(M\) be an odd dimensional closed oriented Riemannian manifold. Let \(E\) be an even dimensional oriented subbundle of the tangent bundle and let \(F\) be a real vector bundle over \(M\) equipped with a flat connection. The author uses these data to construct a twisted signature operator and discusses the eta invariant of this setting. He also discusses the eta invariant of a smooth fibration \(Z\rightarrow M\rightarrow B\) and uses methods of Bismut-Cheeger to study the adiabatic limit. Analogues are also discussed when \(TM/E\) is spin.
