On rigid Hirzebruch genera
نویسنده
چکیده
The classical multiplicative (Hirzebruch) genera of manifolds have the wonderful property which is called rigidity. Rigidity of a genus h means that if a compact connected Lie group G acts on a manifold X, then the equivariant genus h(X) is independent on G, i.e. h(X) = h(X). In this paper we are considering the rigidity problem for complex manifolds. In particular, we are proving that a genus is rigid if and only if it is a generalized Todd genus.

HIRZEBRUCH χy GENERA OF THE HILBERT SCHEMES OF SURFACES BY LOCALIZATION FORMULA
We use the Atiyah-Bott-Berline-Vergne localization formula to calculate the Hirzebruch χy genus χy(S), where S[n] is the Hilbert schemes of points of length n of a surface S. Combinatorial interpretation of the weights of the fixed points of the natural torus action on (C2)[n] is used.
متن کاملElliptic Genera of Level N and Elliptic Cohomology
Elliptic genera of level N have been defined by F. Hirzebruch, generalising the earlier notion of elliptic genus due to S. Ochanine. We show that there are corresponding elliptic cohomology theories which are naturally associated to such genera and that these are obtained from the level 1 case by algebraic extension of the coefficient rings from level 1 to level N modular forms. Introduction. I...
متن کاملOrbifold Elliptic Genera and Rigidity
Let M be a closed almost complex manifold on which a compact connected Lie group G acts non-trivially. If the first Chern class of M is divisible by an integer N greater than 1, then its equivariant elliptic genus φ(M) of level N is rigid, i.e., it is constant as a virtual character of G. This result was predicted by Witten [W] and proved by Taubes [T], Bott-Taubes [BT] and Hirzebruch [H]. Elli...
متن کاملHodge-theoretic Atiyah-meyer Formulae and the Stratified Multiplicative Property
In this note we survey Hodge-theoretic formulae of Atiyah-Meyer type for genera and characteristic classes of complex algebraic varieties, and derive some new and interesting applications. We also present various extensions to the singular setting of the Chern-Hirzebruch-Serre signature formula.
متن کاملCALCULATIONS OF THE HIRZEBRUCH χy GENERA OF SYMMETRIC PRODUCTS BY THE HOLOMORPHIC LEFSCHETZ FORMULA
We calculate the Hirzebruch χy andˆχy-genera of symmetric products of closed complex manifolds by the holomorphic Lefschetz formula of Atiyah and Singer [4]. Such calculation rederive some formulas proved in an earlier paper [14] by a different method. Let M be a smooth manifold, and G a finite group of diffeomorphisms. There are two kinds of interesting cohomology theories for the orbifold M/G...
