Abstract
Résumé

We establish existence of eta-invariants as well as of the Atiyah–Patodi–Singer and the Cheeger–Gromov rho-invariants for a class of Dirac operators on an incomplete edge space. Our analysis applies in particular to the signature and the spin Dirac operator. We derive an analogue of the Atiyah–Patodi–Singer index theorem for incomplete edge spaces and their non-compact infinite Galois coverings with edge singular boundary. Our arguments are based on the microlocal analysis of the heat kernel asymptotics associated to the Dirac laplacian of an incomplete edge metric. As an application, we discuss stability results for the two rho-invariants we have defined.

Dans cet article, nous démontrons l’existence des invariants êta et des invariants rho de Atiyah–Patodi–Singer et Cheeger–Gromov pour une classe d’opérateurs de type Dirac sur des variétés stratifiées de profondeur 1 munies d’une métrique incomplète de type edge. Notre analyse s’applique, en particulier, à l’opérateur de signature et à l’opérateur de Dirac sur une variété spin. Nous établissons aussi des théorèmes de Atiyah–Patodi–Singer sur des variétés stratifiées de profondeur 1 avec bord et sur leurs revêtements de Galois. Nos arguments s’appuyent sur l’analyse microlocale du développement asymptotique du noyau de la chaleur pour un laplacien de Dirac associé à une métrique incomplète de type edge. Nous donnons des applications de cette analyse à l’étude des propriétés de stabilité des invariants rho que nous avons définit.
