Index of projective elliptic operators (Q344342)

The specification of a projective elliptic operator depends on an Azumaya bundle and hence on a principal bundle. A projective elliptic operator can be understood as an equivariant transversally elliptic operator on the principal bundle. \textit{V. Mathai} et al. [J. Differ. Geom. 74, 265--292 (2006; Zbl. 1115.58021)] defined the analytic index of a projective elliptic operator and established an index formula of Atiyah-Singer type. \textit{V. Mathai} et al. [J. Differ. Geom. 78, 465--473 (2008; Zbl. 1147.58018)] interpreted this index as a term in the distribution index of the associated transversally elliptic operator. \textit{M. Yamashita} [Proc. Am. Math. Soc. 141, 2923--2932 (2013; Zbl. 1280.58012)] gave a formula for the full distribution index of the transversally elliptic operator associated with a projective Dirac operator.NEWLINENEWLINE The paper under review gives such a formula in the case of the transversally elliptic operator associated with a general projective elliptic operator. The methods are those developed by N. Berline, M. Vergne, and the author in several papers.
