Heat kernel and local index theorem for open complex manifolds with $\mathbb{C}^{\ast }$-action
Abstract
For a complex manifold with -action, we define the -th Fourier-Dolbeault cohomology group and consider the -index on . By applying the method of transversal heat kernel asymptotics, we obtain a local index formula for the -index. We can reinterpret Kawasaki's Hirzebruch-Riemann-Roch formula for a compact complex orbifold with an orbifold holomorphic line bundle by our integral formulas over a (smooth) complex manifold and finitely many complex submanifolds arising from singular strata. We generalize -action to complex reductive Lie group -action on a compact or noncompact complex manifold. Among others, we study the nonextendability of open group action and the space of all -invariant holomorphic -forms. Finally, in the case of two compatible holomorphic -actions, a mirror-type isomorphism is found between two linear spaces of holomorphic forms, and the Euler characteristic associated with these spaces can be computed by our local index formula on the total space. In the perspective of the equivariant algebraic cobordism theory a speculative connection is remarked. Possible relevance to the recent development in physics and number theory is briefly mentioned.
