Abstract

Let E{\mathcal E} be a holomorphic vector bundle on a complex manifold XX such that dimCX=n\dim_{{\mathbb C}}X=n. Given any continuous, basic Hochschild 2n2n-cocycle ψ2n\psi_{2n} of the algebra Diffn{\rm Diff}_n of formal holomorphic differential operators, one obtains a 2n2n-form fE,ψ2n(D)f_{{\mathcal E},\psi_{2n}}(\mathcal D) from any holomorphic differential operator D{\mathcal D} on E{\mathcal E}. We apply our earlier results [J. Noncommut. Geom. 2 (2008), 405-448; J. Noncommut. Geom. 3 (2009), 27-45] to show that XfE,ψ2n(D)\int_X f_{{\mathcal E},\psi_{2n}}({\mathcal D}) gives the Lefschetz number of D\mathcal D upto a constant independent of XX and E{\mathcal E}. In addition, we obtain a "local" result generalizing the above statement. When ψ2n\psi_{2n} is the cocycle from [Duke Math. J. 127 (2005), 487-517], we obtain a new proof as well as a generalization of the Lefschetz number theorem of Engeli-Felder. We also obtain an analogous "local" result pertaining to B. Shoikhet's construction of the holomorphic noncommutative residue of a differential operator for trivial vector bundles on complex parallelizable manifolds. This enables us to give a rigorous construction of the holomorphic noncommutative residue of D\mathcal D defined by B. Shoikhet when E{\mathcal E} is an arbitrary vector bundle on an arbitrary compact complex manifold XX. Our local result immediately yields a proof of a generalization of Conjecture 3.3 of [Geom. Funct. Anal. 11 (2001), 1096-1124].
