The method used to obtain the corresponding formula is based on the index theorem for elliptic operators in subspaces obtained in [1], [2]. It also utilizes K-theory with coefficients Zsub(n). In particular, it is shown that the group K(T*M,Zsub(n)) is realized by elliptic operators (symbols) acting in appropriate subspaces.}, language = {en} } @unpublished{SavinSternin2000, author = {Savin, Anton and Sternin, Boris}, title = {Eta-invariant and Pontrjagin duality in K-theory}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus-25747}, year = {2000}, abstract = {The topological significance of the spectral Atiyah-Patodi-Singer η-invariant is investigated. We show that twice the fractional part of the invariant is computed by the linking pairing in K-theory with the orientation bundle of the manifold. The Pontrjagin duality implies the nondegeneracy of the linking form. An example of a nontrivial fractional part for an even-order operator is presented.}, language = {en} }
