While studying vector fields on manifolds with boundary there are three important indexes to consider. We construct three cohomology classes to compute these. We relate these classes to other classes, the relative Euler class as defined by Sharafutdinov and the secondary Chern-Euler class as defined by Sha. Our results also yield a new proof of the Poincaré-Hopf index theorem.

The main result of this paper is a new Atiyah–Singer type cohomological formula for the index of Fredholm pseudodifferential operators on a manifold with boundary. The nonlocality of the chosen boundary condition prevents us to apply directly the methods used by Atiyah and Singer in [4, 5]. However, by using the K-theory of C*-algebras associated to some groupoids, which generalizes the classical K-theory of spaces, we are able to understand the computation of the APS index using classic algebraic topology methods (K-theory and cohomology). As in the classic case of Atiyah–Singer ([4, 5]), we use an embedding into a Euclidean space to express the index as the integral of a true form on a true space, the integral being over a C∞-manifold called the singular normal bundle associated to the embedding. Our formula is based on a K-theoretical Atiyah–Patodi–Singer theorem for manifolds with boundary that is inspired by Connes' tangent groupoid approach, it is not a groupoid interpretation of the famous Atiyah–Patodi–Singer index theorem.
