| contents | We construct an index of first-order, self-adjoint, elliptic differential operators in the $K$-theory of a Fréchet algebra of smooth kernels with faster than exponential off-diagonal decay. We show that this index can be represented by an idempotent involving heat operators. The rapid decay of the kernels in the algebra used is helpful in proving convergence of pairings with cyclic cocycles. Representing the index in terms of heat operators allows one to use heat kernel asymptotics to compute such pairings. We give a link to von Neumann algebras and $L^2$-index theorems as an immediate application, and work out further applications in other papers. |
