An equivariant index formula in contact geometry

چکیده
Given an elliptic action of a compact Lie group G on a co-oriented contact manifold (M, E) one obtains two naturally associated objects: A G-transversally elliptic operator Db / , and an equivariant differential form with generalized coefficients J (E, X) defined in terms of a choice of contact form on M . We explain how the form J (E, X) is natural with respect to the contact structure, and give a formula for the equivariant index of Db / involving J (E, X). A key tool is the Chern character with compact support developed by Paradan-Vergne [11, 12].

متن کاملAn equivariant index formula for almost-CR manifolds
We consider a consider the case of a compact manifold M , together with the following data: the action of a compact Lie group H and a smooth H-invariant distribution E, such that the H-orbits are transverse to E. These data determine a natural equivariant differential form with generalized coefficients J (E,X) whose properties we describe. When E is equipped with a complex structure, we define ...
متن کاملSome remarks on the geometric quantization of contact manifolds
Suppose that (M,E) is a compact contact manifold, and that a compact Lie group G acts on M transverse to the contact distribution E. In [14], we defined a G-transversally elliptic Dirac operator Db / , constructed using a Hermitian metric h and connection ∇ on the symplectic vector bundle E → M , whose equivariant index is well-defined as a generalized function on G, and gave a formula for its ...
متن کاملTwo Aspects of K Ahler Geometry in the G=g Model
The subject of this talk is the role of equivariant KK ahler geometry in the G=G model or, in other words, that of its equivariant supersymmetry. This supersym-metry is somewhat unusual in that it does not model the innnitesimal action of the group of gauge transformations. Nevertheless, this supersymmetry is useful on, at least, two counts. Firstly, it allows one to localise the path integral....
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 ...
