The Sigma Orientation for Analytic Circle-equivariant Elliptic Cohomology
نویسنده
چکیده
We construct a canonical Thom isomorphism for virtual T-oriented T-equivariant spin bundles with vanishing Borel-equivariant second Chern class, which is natural under pull-back of vector bundles and exponential under Whitney sum. It extends in the rational case the non-equivariant sigma orientation of Hopkins, Strickland, and the author. The construction relates the sigma orientation to the representation theory of loop groups and Looijenga’s weighted projective space, and sheds light even on the non-equivariant case. Rigidity theorems of Witten-Bott-Taubes including generalizations by Kefeng Liu follow.

Circle-equivariant Classifying Spaces and the Rational Equivariant Sigma Genus
We analyze the circle-equivariant spectrum MStringC which is the equivariant analogue of the cobordism spectrum MU〈6〉 of stably almost complex manifolds with c1 = c2 = 0. In [Gre05], the second author showed how to construct the ring T-spectrum EC representing the T-equivariant elliptic cohomology associated to a rational elliptic curve C. In the case that C is a complex elliptic curve, we cons...
متن کاملDiscrete Torsion for the Supersingular Orbifold Sigma Genus
The first purpose of this paper is to examine the relationship between equivariant elliptic genera and orbifold elliptic genera. We apply the character theory of [HKR00] to the Borel-equivariant genus associated to the sigma orientation of [AHS01] to define an orbifold genus for certain total quotient orbifolds and supersingular elliptic curves. We show that our orbifold genus is given by the s...
متن کاملTheWitten genus and equivariant elliptic cohomology
We construct a Thom class in complex equivariant elliptic cohomology extending the equivariant Witten genus. This gives a new proof of the rigidity of theWitten genus, which exhibits a close relationship to recent work on non-equivariant orientations of elliptic spectra.
متن کاملRing structures of mod p equivariant cohomology rings and ring homomorphisms between them
In this paper, we consider a class of connected oriented (with respect to Z/p) closed G-manifolds with a non-empty finite fixed point set, each of which is G-equivariantly formal, where G = Z/p and p is an odd prime. Using localization theorem and equivariant index, we give an explicit description of the mod p equivariant cohomology ring of such a G-manifold in terms of algebra. This makes ...
متن کاملRational S 1 - Equivariant Elliptic Cohomology
We give a functorial construction of a rational S 1-equivariant cohomology theory from an elliptic curve equipped with suitable coordinate data. The elliptic curve may be recovered from the cohomology theory; indeed, the value of the cohomology theory on the compactification of an S 1-representation is given by the sheaf cohomology of a suitable line bundle on the curve. The construction is eas...
