We know that for a family of first-order self adjoint elliptic (Fredholm) operator $A_t$, for $t\in [0,1]$ we have the formula $$\eta(A_1)-\eta(A_0)=spfl(A_t)_{t\in[0,1]}+\int^1_0 \omega(s)ds,$$ where ...

Let $\tilde W$ be a spin closed oriented manifold, $Y$ is a codimension $1$ closed oriented submanifold of $\tilde W$, and denote the $W$ the cobordism from $Y$ to itself obtained from cutting $\...
