Theory of boundary value problems for operators, which violate Atiyah–Bott condition (homotopy classification, index). Gilkeys problem on the fractional part of the eta-invariant was solved. Index formula for elliptic operators in pseudodifferential subspaces. Homotopy classification of elliptic operators on stratified manifolds in terms of K-homology groups. Index formulas on stratified manifolds. Index formulas for elliptic operators associated with group actions (operators with shifts).
