Workshop: Secondary and delocalized index invariants

11-15 June 2018. 
University of Copenhagen, Department of Mathematical Sciences

The focus of the meeting will be applications of the analytic surgery group to geometry and topology, and in particular on delocalized invariants such as relative eta invariants and their higher analogues.
