We announce a Godbillon-Vey index formula for longitudinal Dirac operators on a foliated bundle $(X,F)$ with boundary; in particular, we define a Godbillon-Vey eta invariant on the boundary foliation, that is, a secondary invariant for longitudinal Dirac operators on type III foliations. Our theorem generalizes the classic Atiyah-Patodi-Singer index formula for $(X,F)$. Moreover, employing the Godbillon-Vey index as a pivotal example, we explain a new approach to higher index theory on geometric structures with boundary. This is heavily based on the interplay between the absolute and relative pairing of $K$-theory and cyclic cohomology for an exact sequence of Banach algebras, which in the present context takes the form $0to J to A to B to 0$ with J dense and holomorphically closed in the C^*-algebra of the foliation and B depending only on boundary data.

We prove a Godbillon-Vey index formula for longitudinal Dirac operators on a foliated bundle with boundary; in particular, we define a Godbillon-Vey eta invariant on the boundary-foliation; this is a secondary invariant for longitudinal Dirac operators on type-III foliations. Moreover, employing the Godbillon-Vey index as a pivotal example, we explain a new approach to higher index theory on geometric structures with boundary. This is heavily based on the interplay between the absolute and relative pairings of K-theory and cyclic cohomology for an exact sequence of Banach algebras which in the present context takes the form $0to Jto Ato Bto 0$, with J dense and holomorphically closed in the C^*-algebra of the foliation and B depending only on boundary data. Of particular importance is the definition of a relative cyclic cocycle $(tau_{GV}^r,sigma_{GV})$ for the pair $Ato B$; $tau_{GV}^r$ is a cyclic cochain on A defined through a regularization, `a la Melrose, of the usual Godbillon-Vey cyclic cocycle $tau_{GV}$; $sigma_{GV}$ is a cyclic cocycle on B, obtained through a suspension procedure involving $tau_{GV}$ and a specific 1-cyclic cocycle (Roes 1-cocycle). We call $sigma_{GV}$ the eta cocycle associated to $tau_{GV}$. The Atiyah-Patodi-Singer formula is obtained by defining a relative index class $Ind (D,D^partial)in K_* (A,B)$ and establishing the equality <Ind (D),[tau_{GV}]>=<Ind (D,D^partial), [tau^r_{GV}, sigma_{GV}]>$. The Godbillon-Vey eta invariant $eta_{GV}$ is obtained through the eta cocycle $sigma_{GV}$.
Let $Gamma$ be a finitely generated discrete group satisfying the rapid decay condition. We give a new proof of the higher Atiyah-Patodi-Singer theorem on a Galois $Gamma$-coverings, thus providing an explicit formula for the higher index associated to a group cocycle $cin Z^k (Gamma;mathbb{C})$ which is of polynomial growth with respect to a word-metric. Our new proof employs relative K-theory and relative cyclic cohomology in an essential way.
We study the index of the APS boundary value problem for a strongly Callias-type operator D on a complete Riemannian manifold $M$. We show that this index is equal to an index on a simpler manifold whose boundary is a disjoint union of two complete manifolds $N_0$ and $N_1$. If the dimension of $M$ is odd we show that the latter index depends only on the restrictions $A_0$ and $A_1$ of $D$ to $N_0$ and $N_1$ and thus is an invariant of the boundary. We use this invariant to define the relative eta-invariant $eta(A_1,A_0)$. We show that even though in our situation the eta-invariants of $A_1$ and $A_0$ are not defined, the relative eta-invariant behaves as if it was the difference $eta(A_1)-eta(A_0)$.
The aim of this paper is to study Sasakian immersions of (non-compact) complete regular Sasakian manifolds into the Heisenberg group and into $ mathbb{B}^Ntimes mathbb{R}$ equipped with their standard Sasakian structures. We obtain a complete classification of such manifolds in the $eta$-Einstein case.
Let $mathcal{A}_0$ and $mathcal{A}_1$ be two self-adjoint Fredholm Dirac-type operators defined on two non-compact manifolds. If they coincide at infinity so that the relative heat operator is trace-class, one can define their relative eta function as in the compact case. The regular value of this function at the zero point, which we call the relative eta invariant of $mathcal{A}_0$ and $mathcal{A}_1$, is a generalization of the eta invariant to non-compact situation. We study its variation formula and gluing law. In particular, under certain conditions, we show that this relative eta invariant coincides with the relative eta invariant that we previously defined using APS index of strongly Callias-type operators.
