Band width and the Rosenberg index
Abstract
A Riemannian manifold is said to have infinite $\mathcal{KO}$-width if it admits an isometric immersion of an arbitrarily wide Riemannian band whose inward boundary has non-trivial higher index. In this paper we prove that if a closed spin manifold has inifinite $\mathcal{KO}$-width, then its Rosenberg index does not vanish. This gives a positive answer to a conjecture by R. Zeidler. We also prove its `multi-dimensional' generalization; if a closed spin manifold admit an isometric immersion of an arbitrarily wide cube-like domain whose lowest dimensional corner has non-trivial higher index, then the Rosenberg index of $M$ does not vanish.
