Abstract

Given a holomorphic vector bundle \cale\cale on a connected compact complex manifold X, [FLS] construct a \compl\compl-linear functional I\caleI_{\cale} on \hh2n\compl\hh{2n}{\compl}. This is done by constructing a linear functional on the 0-th completed Hochschild homology \choch0(\dif(\cale))\choch{0}{(\dif(\cale))} of the sheaf of holomorphic differential operators on \cale\cale using topological quantum mechanics. They show that this functional is X\int_X if \cale\cale has non zero Euler characteristic. They conjecture that this functional is X\int_X for all \cale\cale. A subsequent work [Ram] by the author proved that the linear functional I\caleI_{\cale} is independent of the vector bundle \cale\cale. This note builds upon the work in [Ram] to prove that I\cale=XI_{\cale}=\int_X for an arbitrary holomorphic vector bundle \cale\cale on an arbitrary connected compact complex manifold X. This is done using an argument that is very natural from the geometric point of view. This argument enables us to extend the construction in [FLS] to a construction of a linear functional I\caleI_{\cale} on Hc2n(Y,\compl)\text{H}^{2n}_{c}(Y,\compl) for an arbitrary holomorphic vector bundle \cale\cale on an arbitrary connected complex manifold Y and prove that I\cale=YI_{\cale} = \int_Y. We also generalize a result of [Ram] pertaining to "cyclic homology analogs" of I\caleI_{\cale}.
