Abstract: We compute the Fredholm index, mind(DA), of the operator DA=(d/dt)+A on L2(mathbbR;mathcalH) associated with the operator path A(t)t=inftyinfty, where (Af)(t)=A(t)f(t) for a.e. tinmathbbR, and appropriate finL2(mathbbR;mathcalH), via the spectral shift function xi(,cdot,;A+,A) associated with the pair (A+,A) of asymptotic operators Apm=A(pminfty) on the separable complex Hilbert space mathcalH in the case when A(t) is generally an unbounded (relatively trace class) perturbation of the unbounded self-adjoint operator A. We derive a formula (an extension of a formula due to Pushnitski) relating the spectral shift function xi(,cdot,;A+,A) for the pair (A+,A), and the corresponding spectral shift function xi(,cdot,;H2,H1) for the pair of operators (H2,H1)=(DADA*,DA*DA) in this relative trace class context. This formula is then used to identify the Fredholm index of DA with xi(0;A+,A). In addition, we prove that mind(DA) coincides with the spectral flow SpFlow(A(t)t=inftyinfty) of the family A(t)tinmathbbR and also relate it to the (Fredholm) perturbation determinant for the pair (A+,A). We also provide some applications in the context of supersymmetric quantum mechanics to zeta function and heat kernel regularized spectral asymmetries and the eta-invariant.
