Let G → B be a bundle of compact Lie groups acting on a fiber bundle Y → B. In this paper we introduce and study gauge-equivariant K-theory groups K G(Y ). These groups satisfy the usual properties of the equivariant K-theory groups, but also some new phenomena arise due to the topological non-triviality of the bundle G → B. As an application, we define a gauge-equivariant index for a family of...

As one of the most important theories in mathematics, Atiyah-Singer index theorems have various profound applications and consequences. At the same time, there are several ways to prove these theorems. Of particular interest is the heat kernel proof, which allows one to obtain refinements of the index theorems, i.e., the local index theorems for Dirac operators. Readers are referred to [BGV] fo...

Let M be a compact Riemannian manifold endowed with an isometric action of a compact, connected Lie group. The method of the Witten deformation is used to compute the virtual representation-valued equivariant index of a transversally elliptic, first order differential operator on M. The multiplicities of irreducible representations in the index are expressed in terms of local quantities associa...

The method of the Witten deformation is used to compute the virtual representation-valued equivariant index of a transversally elliptic, first order differential operator on M.

In this paper we define and examine the truncated Witten genus. It is defined as the equivariant index of the Dirac operator on the manifold Map(Cp, M) with its natural Cp-action. Here, Map(Cp, M) is the space of maps from the cyclic group of order p into a closed, connected, spin manifold, By applying the Atiyah-Singer index theorem we give a topological formula for the truncated Witten genus ...

To some Hecke symmetries (i.e. Yang-Baxter braidings of Hecke type) we associate ”noncommutative varieties” called braided spheres. An example of such a variety is the Podles’ nonstandard quantum sphere. On any braided sphere we introduce and compute an ”equivariant” analogue of Connes’ noncommutative index. In contrast with the Connes’ construction our version of equivariant NC index is based ...
