Abstract

For a complex manifold Σ\Sigma with C\mathbb{C}^{\ast }-action, we define the mm-th C\mathbb{C}^{\ast } Fourier-Dolbeault cohomology group and consider the mm-index on Σ\Sigma . By applying the method of transversal heat kernel asymptotics, we obtain a local index formula for the mm-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 C\mathbb{C}^{\ast }-action to complex reductive Lie group GG-action on a compact or noncompact complex manifold. Among others, we study the nonextendability of open group action and the space of all GG-invariant holomorphic pp-forms. Finally, in the case of two compatible holomorphic C\mathbb{C}^{\ast }-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 C\mathbb{C}^{\ast } local index formula on the total space. In the perspective of the equivariant algebraic cobordism theory ΩC(Σ),\Omega _{\ast }^{\mathbb{C}^{\ast }}(\Sigma ), a speculative connection is remarked. Possible relevance to the recent development in physics and number theory is briefly mentioned.
