This set of collected papers edited by Prof M Atiyah and Prof Narasimhan includes his path-breaking papers on the McKean-Singer conjecture and the analytic proof of Riemann-Roch-Hirzebruch theorem for K hler manifolds. It also contains his celebrated joint papers on the index theorem and the Atiyah-Patodi-Singer invariant. |
