Abstract
We investigate chiral zero modes and winding numbers at fixed points on orbifolds. It is shown that the Atiyah-Singer index theorem for the chiral zero modes leads to a formula , where are the numbers of the chiral zero modes and are the sums of the winding numbers at the fixed points on . This formula is complementary to our zero-mode counting formula on the magnetized orbifolds with non-zero flux background , consistently with substituting for the counting formula .
