TY - INPR A1 - Savin, Anton A1 - Sternin, Boris T1 - Eta-invariant and Pontrjagin duality in K-theory N2 - 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.

Geometric second order operators are found with nontrivial η-invariants. This solves a problem posed by P. Gilkey.

The finiteness theorem as well as index formula are obtained for elliptic operators acting in the subspaces. Topological (K-theoretic) aspects of the theory are studied in detail.
