We introduce partial secondary invariants associated to complete Riemannian metrics which have uniformly positive scalar curvature (upsc) outside a prescribed subset on a spin manifold. These can be used to distinguish such Riemannian metrics up to concordance relative to the prescribed subset. We exhibit a general external product formula for partial secondary invariants, from which we deduce product formulas for the higher ρ ‐invariant of a metric with upsc as well as for the higher relative index of two metrics with upsc.
