48 results for defect formulae

In this paper, we survey recent results on index defects of elliptic operators on manifolds with boundary. Index defects are similar to the Hirzebruch signature defects in topology, where the defects appear as the correction terms to the signature formula on manifolds with boundary. For some natural classes of elliptic…
