Let N be a closed spin manifold with positive scalar curvature and D N the Dirac operator on N. Let M 1 and M 2 be two Galois covers of N such that M 2 is a quotient of M 1. Then the quotient map from M 1 to M 2 naturally induces maps between the geometric C⁎-algebras associated to the two manifolds. We prove, by a finite-propagation argument, that the maximal higher rho invariants of the lifts of D N to M 1 and M 2 behave functorially with respect to the above quotient map. This can be applied to the computation of higher rho invariants, along with other related invariants.
