Abstract

We present an introduction to boundary value problems for Dirac-type operators on complete Riemannian manifolds with compact boundary. We introduce a very general class of boundary conditions which contain local elliptic boundary conditions in the sense of Lopatinski and Shapiro as well as the Atiyah–Patodi–Singer boundary conditions. We discuss boundary regularity of solutions and also spectral and index theory. The emphasis is on providing the reader with a working knowledge.

Here \([D,f] = D \circ (f \cdot \mathop{\mathrm{id}}\nolimits _{E}) - (f \cdot \mathop{\mathrm{id}}\nolimits _{F}) \circ D\).

The η-invariant of A is defined as the value of the meromorphic extension of η(s) =  λ ≠ 0sign(λ) | λ | s at s = 0, see [APS]. Here the sum is taken over all nonzero eigenvalues of A taking multiplicities into account. Hence the η-invariant is a measure for the asymmetry of the spectrum.

If χ commutes with σ D (ν ), then B χ and B χ are adjoint to each other.
