We study the de Rham complex on a smooth manifold with a periodic end modeled on an infinite cyclic cover X̃ → X. The completion of this complex in exponentially weighted L2 norms is Fredholm for all but finitely many exceptional weights determined by the eigenvalues of the covering translation map H∗(X̃) → H∗(X̃). We calculate the index of this weighted de Rham complex for all weights away from the exceptional ones.
Keywords: de Rham complex, periodic end, Alexander polynomial
