A families index formula on stratified spaces.
Stratified spaces arise naturally even when studying smooth objects, e.g., as algebraic varieties, orbit spaces of smooth group actions, and many moduli spaces. There has recently been a lot of activity developing analysis on these spaces and studying topological invariants such as the signature. I will report on joint work with Jesse Gell-Redman in which we study families of Dirac-type operators on stratified spaces and establish a formula for the Chern character of their index bundle.
