An Orbifold Relative Index Theorem
arXiv:math/0605594 · doi:10.1016/j.geomphys.2007.02.001
Abstract
In this paper we prove a relative index theorem for pairs of generalized Dirac operators on orbifolds which are the same at infinity. This generalizes to orbifolds a celebrated theorem of Gromov and Lawson.
