The following theorem is proved: if ( M 4 n +1 ,g) is a complete Riemannian manifold and Σ ⊂ M is an oriented hypersurface partitioning M and with non‐zero signature, then the spectrum of the Hodge–deRham Laplacian is [0,∞]. This result is obtained by a new Callias‐type index. This new formula links half‐bound harmonic forms (that is, nearly L 2 but not in L 2 ) with the signature of Σ.
