Resumen:
In this joint work with Peter Gilkey and Roberto Miatello we study the eta invariants of compact at spin manifolds of odd dimension n with holonomy group Zp, where p is an odd prime, for twisted Dirac operators. By using certain trigonometric products and some modi ed Gauss sums, we nd explicit expressions for `(s), in terms of di erences of Hurwitz zeta functions, and for the twisted eta invariant in terms of Legendre symbols. As a result, we show that the reduced eta invariant is always an integer, except in the single case p = n = 3. We use the expressions obtained to show that any such manifold is trivial in the appropriate reduced equivariant spin bordism group.
