    Abstract

    Let X be a smooth compact manifold with boundary. For smooth foliations on the boundary of X admitting a 'resolution' in terms of a fibration, we construct a pseudodifferential calculus generalizing the fibred cusp calculus of Mazzeo and Melrose. In particular, we introduce certain symbols leading to a simple description of the Fredholm operators inside the calculus. When the leaves of the fibration 'resolving' the foliation are compact, we also obtain an index formula for Fredholm perturbations of Dirac-type operators. Along the way, we obtain a formula for the adiabatic limit of the eta invariant for invertible perturbations of Dirac-type operators, a result of independent interest generalizing the well-known formula of Bismut and Cheeger.
