Develops equivariant Chern characters for coherent sheaves with group actions.

These notes are the first chapter of a monograph, dedicated to a detailed proof of the equivariant index theorem for transversally elliptic operators. In this preliminary chapter, we prove a certain number of natural relations in equivariant cohomology. These relations include the Thom isomorphism in equivariant cohomo…

Consider a compact prequantizable symplectic manifold M on which a compact Lie group G acts in a Hamiltonian fashion. The ``quantization commutes with reduction'' theorem asserts that the G-invariant part of the equivariant index of M is equal to the Riemann-Roch number of the symplectic quotient of M, provided the quo…

Novel threefold partitioning of $L^2$-spinor space on cone links.

The paper proves an asymptotic development for weighted sums of multiplicity functions on a torus-manifold.

The classical integral localization formula for equivariantly closed forms (Theorem 7.11 in [BGV]) is well-known and requires the acting Lie group to be compact. It is restated here as Theorem 2. In this article we extend this result to NONcompact groups. The main result is Theorem 20. Then, using this generalization, …

Proves a theorem for complex flat vector bundles using differential forms.

We give a direct proof that the Freed-Lott differential analytic index is well defined and a condensed proof of the differential Grothendieck-Riemann-Roch theorem. As a byproduct we also obtain a direct proof that the R/Z analytic index is well defined and a condensed proof of the R/Z Grothendieck-Riemann-Roch theorem.

Proves LeBrun-Salamon Conjecture for low-dimensional contact manifolds.

Paper introduces Lie algebroid index theory and a generalized Riemann-Roch theorem.

Study index theory on Lie group homogeneous spaces using topological and analytic methods.

In this paper we give a simplified proof of the flat Grothendieck-Riemann-Roch theorem. The proof makes use of the local family index theorem and basic computations of the Chern-Simons form. In particular, it does not involve any adiabatic limit computation of the reduced eta-invariant.

Study of orbifold Chern character using superconnections.

Let $Δ\subset \mathbb{R}^n$ be an $n$-dimensional integral Delzant polytope. It is well-known that there exist the $n$-dimensional compact toric manifold $X_Δ$ and the very ample $(\mathbb{C}^\times)^n$-equivariant line bundle $L_Δ$ on $X_Δ$ associated with $Δ$. In the present paper, we give a necessary and sufficient …

This note announces a general construction of characteristic currents for singular connections on a vector bundle. It develops, in particular, a Chern-Weil-Simons theory for smooth bundle maps $α: E \rightarrow F$ which, for smooth connections on $E$ and $F$, establishes formulas of the type $$ φ\ = \ \text{\rm Res}_φΣ…

In this paper we give a proof of an index theorem by Bismut. As a consequence we obtain another proof of the Grothendieck-Riemann-Roch theorem in differential cohomology.

The purpose of this paper is to give a proof of the real part of the Riemann-Roch-Grothendieck theorem for complex flat vector bundles at the differential form level in the even dimensional fiber case. The proof is, roughly speaking, an application of the local family index theorem for a perturbed twisted spin Dirac op…

Let $G$ be a compact connected Lie group, and $M$ a compact Hamiltonian $G$-space, with moment map $J$. For each $G$-equivariant Hermitian vector bundle $E$ over $M$, one has an associated twisted Spin-C Dirac operator, whose equivariant index is a symplectic invariant of $E$. In the present paper, we study gluing prop…

Mathematicians prove a conjecture about mirror symmetry at genus one.

In this paper, we give a new version of the modified Futaki invariant for a test configuration associated to the soliton action on a Fano manifold. Our version will naturally come from toric test configurations defined by Donaldson for toric manifolds. As an application, we show that the modified $K$-energy is proper f…

Calculates characteristic classes of flat vector bundles on complex fibers.

Surveying the signature theorem, researchers cancel anomalies on elliptic surfaces.

In the present paper we discuss an independent on the Grothendieck-Sato isomorphism approach to the Riemann-Roch-Hirzebruch formula for an arbitrary differential operator. Instead of the Grothendieck-Sato isomorphism, we use the Topological Quantum Mechanics (more or less equivalent to the well-known constructions with…

We prove the analogue of the Riemann-Roch formula for the noncommutative two torus $A_θ = C(\mathbb{T}_θ^2)$ equipped with an arbitrary translation invariant complex structure and a Weyl factor represented by a positive element $k\in C^{\infty}(\mathbb{T}_θ^2)$. We consider a topologically trivial line bundle equipped…

New topological Riemann-Roch theorem for circle fibrations.

Using different forms of the arithmetic Riemann-Roch theorem and the computations of Bott-Chern secondary classes, we compute the analytic torsion and the height of Hirzebruch surfaces.

In this paper, we introduce six axioms for relative Bott-Chern secondary characteristic classes and prove the uniqueness and existence theorem for them. Such a work provides us a natural way to understand and hence to prove the arithmetic Grothendieck-Riemann-Roch theorem.

Harder's reduction theory provides filtrations of euclidean buildings that allow one to deduce cohomological and homological properties of S-arithmetic groups over global function fields. In this survey I will sketch the main points of Harder's reduction theory starting from Weil's geometry of numbers and the Riemann-R…

We define the Simons-Sullivan differential analytic index by translating the Freed-Lott differential analytic index via explicit ring isomorphisms between Freed-Lott differential K-theory and Simons-Sullivan differential K-theory. We prove the differential Grothendieck-Riemann-Roch theorem in Simons-Sullivan differenti…

The goal of this paper is to re-examine D-brane Ramond-Ramond field couplings in the presence of a B-field. We will argue that the generalised geometry induced on the world volume by the B-field results in an important but subtle change on the coupling. In order to explain this, we use the language of differential K-th…

Formula calculates Riemann-Roch number for singular symplectic quotients.

We calculate the local Riemann-Roch numbers of the zero sections of $T^*S^n$ and $T^*\R P^n$, where the local Riemann-Roch numbers are defined by using the $S^1$-bundle structure on their complements associated to the geodesic flows.

This paper proves positivity of Riemann-Roch polynomials for hyperkähler manifolds.

We compute the sum of the positive Lyapunov exponents of the Hodge bundle with respect to the Teichmuller geodesic flow. The computation is based on the analytic Riemann-Roch Theorem and uses a comparison of determinants of flat and hyperbolic Laplacians when the underlying Riemann surface degenerates.

In this paper, we develop differential twisted K-theory and define a twisted Chern character on twisted K-theory which depends on a choice of connection and curving on the twisting gerbe. We also establish the general Riemann-Roch theorem in twisted K-theory and find some applications in the study of twisted K-theory o…

Proves an equivariant version of index theorem for geometric families.

We consider a smooth groupoid of the form Σ\rtimesΓwhere Σis a Riemann surface and Γa discrete pseudogroup acting on Σby local conformal diffeomorphisms. After defining a K-cycle on the crossed product C_0(Σ)\rtimesΓgeneralising the classical Dolbeault complex, we compute its Chern character in cyclic cohomology, using…

In this paper, we prove an equivariant Kastler-Kalau-Walze type theorem for spin manifolds without boundary. For $6$ dimensional spin manifolds with boundary, we also give an equivariant Kastler-Kalau-Walze type theorem. Then we generalize this theorem to the general $n$ dimensional manifold. An equivariant Kastler-Kal…

Suppose one is given a discrete group G, a cocompact proper G-manifold M, and a G-self-map f of M. Then we introduce the equivariant Lefschetz class of f, which is globally defined in terms of cellular chain complexes, and the local equivariant Lefschetz class of f, which is locally defined in terms of fixed point data…
