Atiyah-Patodi-Singer Type Index Theorems for Manifolds with Corners and Splitting of j-Invariants II

Abstract

We extend results of [Sa1] and prove an index theorem for manifolds with corners of codimension 3. A splitting formula for j-invariants of Dirac operators on manifolds with a restricted class of wedge singularities into j-invariants of manifolds with corners of codimension 2 is proved. The method of proof is by applying the index theorem to a special index problem and combining with a simpler splitting formula for j-invariants.
