We extend the theory of the universal eta-invariant to the case of relative bordism groups of manifolds with boundaries. This allows the construction of secondary descendants of the universal eta-invariant. We obtain an interpretation of Laures' f-invariant as an example of this general construction. As an aside we improve a recent result of Han-Zhang on the modularity of a certain power series of eta invariants.

The Smith Fiber Sequence and Invertible Field Theories
Smith homomorphisms are defined equivalently via Thom spectrum maps, yielding a fiber sequence whose Anderson dual produces long exact sequences of invertible field theories.
