Abstract: |
We present an alternate definition of the mod Z component of
the Atiyah-Patodi-Singer $\eta$ invariant associated to (not
necessary unitary) flat vector bundles, which identifies
explicitly its real and imaginary parts.
This is done by combining a deformation of flat connections introduced in
a previous paper with the analytic continuation procedure
appearing in the original article of Atiyah, Patodi and Singer. |
