An index of strongly Callias operators on Lorentzian manifolds with non-compact boundary (Q2287983)

This paper is concerned with the study of the hyperbolic Dirac-type operator with growing potential. The abstract setting corresponds to spatially noncompact globally hyperbolic manifolds. The main result of this paper establishes that the Atiyah-Patodi-Singer (APS) boundary value problem for this operator is of Fredholm-type. Moreover, the author proves a formula for APS-type index formula for strongly Callias-type operators on essentially cylindrical manifolds. This formula is obtained in terms of the local integrals and the notion of relative eta-invariant.
