Following [44], we introduce the notion of families of projective operators on fibrations equipped with an Azumaya bundle $mathcal{A}$. We define and compute the index of such families using the cohomological index formula from [7]. More precisely, a family of projective operators $A$ can be pulled back in a family $tilde{A}$ of $SU(N)$-transversally elliptic operators on the $PU(N)$-principal bundle of trivialisations of $mathcal{A}$. Through the distributional index of $tilde{A}$, we can define an index for the family $A$ of projective operators and using the cohomological index formula from [7], we obtain an explicit cohomological index formula. Let $1 to Gamma to tilde{G} to G to 1$ be a central extension by an abelian finite group. As a preliminary result, we compute the index of families of $tilde{G}$-transversally elliptic operators on a $G$-principal bundle $P$.

We introduce a Banach Lie group $G$ of unitary operators subject to a natural trace condition. We compute the homotopy groups of $G$, describe its cohomology and construct an $S^1$-central extension. We show that the central extension determines a non-trivial gerbe on the action Lie groupoid $Gltimes mathfrak{k}$, where $mathfrak{k}$ denotes the Hilbert space of self-adjoint Hilbert-Schmidt operators. With an eye towards constructing elements in twisted K-theory, we prove the existence of a cubic Dirac operator $mathbb{D}$ in a suitable completion of the quantum Weil algebra $mathcal{U}(mathfrak{g}) otimes Cl(mathfrak{k})$, which is subsequently extended to a projective family of self-adjoint operators $mathbb{D}_A$ on $Gltimes frak{k}$. While the kernel of $mathbb{D}_A$ is infinite-dimensional, we show that there is still a notion of finite reducibility at every point, which suggests a generalized definition of twisted K-theory for action Lie groupoids.
An index theory for projective families of elliptic pseudodifferential operators is developed when the twisting, i.e. Dixmier-Douady, class is decomposable. One of the features of this special case is that the corresponding Azumaya bundle can be realized in terms of smoothing operators. The topological and the analytic index of a projective family of elliptic operators both take values in the twisted K-theory of the parameterizing space. The main result is the equality of these two notions of index. The twisted Chern character of the index class is then computed by a variant of Chern-Weil theory.
We define and study the index map for families of $G$-transversally elliptic operators and introduce the multiplicity for a given irreducible representation as a virtual bundle over the base of the fibration. We then prove the usual axiomatic properties for the index map extending the Atiyah-Singer results [1]. Finally, we compute the Kasparov intersection product of our index class against the K-homology class of an elliptic operator on the base. Our approach is based on the functorial properties of the intersection product, and relies on some constructions due to Connes-Skandalis and to Hilsum-Skandalis.
We define the Chern character of the index class of a $G$-invariant family of $G$-transversally elliptic operators, see [6]. Next we study the Berline-Vergne formula for families in the elliptic and transversally elliptic case.
We introduce and study the index morphism for G-invariant leafwise G-transversally elliptic operators on smooth closed foliated manifolds which are endowed with leafwise actions of the compact group G. We prove the usual axioms of excision, multiplicativity and induction for closed subgroups. In the case of free actions, we relate our index class with the Connes-Skandalis index class of the corresponding leafwise elliptic operator on the quotient foliation. Finally we prove the compatibility of our index morphism with the Gysin Thom isomorphism and reduce its computation to the case of tori actions. We also construct a topological candidate for an index theorem using the Kasparov Dirac element for euclidean G-representations.
