Review text

This paper provides a brief clear overview of: the Atiyah-Singer index theorem on even-dimensional manifolds, with special attention to the heat equation proof; the Atiyah-Patodi-Singer index theorem; and the application of the Atiyah-Singer index theorem to Toeplitz operators on odd-dimensional manifolds. This overview provides the foundation for understanding the index theorem for Toeplitz operators on odd-dimensional manifolds with boundary. This theorem is proven in a preprint by the author and X. Dai. The paper under review gives a clear concise description of all aspects of the statement of this theorem but only a hint of the difficulties overcome in its proof. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0993.00022].
