Abstract: The Gauss-Bonnet Theorem is studied for edge metrics as a renormalized index theorem. These metrics include the Poincar'e-Einstein metrics of the AdS/CFT correspondence. Renormalization is used to make sense of the curvature integral and the dimensions of the $L^2$-cohomology spaces as well as to carry out the heat equation proof of the index theorem. For conformally compact metrics even mod $x^m$, the finite time supertrace of the heat kernel on conformally compact manifolds is shown to renormalize independently of the choice of special boundary defining function.
