Geometric heat kernel coefficient for APS-type boundary conditions
Journées équations aux dérivées partielles (1998), article no. 11, 19 p.

I present an alternative way of computing the index of a Dirac operator on a manifold with boundary and a special family of pseudodifferential boundary conditions. The local version of this index theorem contains a number of divergence terms in the interior, which are higher order heat kernel invariants. I will present a way of associating boundary terms to those divergence terms, which are rather local of nature.
