Homotopy invariance of Haefliger signature
Abstract: We shall explain in this talk some recent results obtained in collaboration with James Heitsch and related
with index theory for foliations. We shall focus on the definition of the leafwise signature in Haefliger
cohomology and sketch of a geometric proof of its leafwise homotopy invariance.
