Spectral asymmetry and index theory on manifolds with generalised hyperbolic cusps (Q6110578)

In the paper under review, the authors consider a complete Riemannian manifold consisting of a compact interior and one or more \(\varphi\)-cusps: infinitely long ends of a type that includes cylindrical ends and hyperbolic cusps, where \(\varphi\) is a function of the radial coordinate that describes the shape of such an end. Given an action by a compact Lie group on such a manifold, they obtain an equivariant index theorem for Dirac operators (under conditions on \(\varphi\)) and give more explicit expressions for the contribution from the infinity.
