Abstract

For a hyperk\"{a}hler manifold XX of dimension 2n2n, Huybrechts showed that there are constants a0,a2,,a2na_0, a_2, \dots, a_{2n} such that χ(L)=i=0na2i(2i)!qX(c1(L))i\chi(L) =\sum_{i=0}^n\frac{a_{2i}}{(2i)!}q_X(c_1(L))^{i} for any line bundle LL on XX, where qXq_X is the Beauville-Bogomolov-Fujiki quadratic form of XX. Here the polynomial i=0na2i(2i)!qi\sum_{i=0}^n\frac{a_{2i}}{(2i)!}q^{i} is called the Riemann-Roch polynomial of XX. In this paper, we show that all coefficients of the Riemann-Roch polynomial of XX are positive. This confirms a conjecture proposed by Cao and the author, which implies Kawamata's effective non-vanishing conjecture for projective hyperk\"{a}hler manifolds. It also confirms a question of Riess on strict monotonicity of Riemann-Roch polynomials. In order to estimate the coefficients of the Riemann-Roch polynomial, we produce a Lefschetz-type decomposition of td1/2(X)\text{td}^{1/2}(X), the root of the Todd genus of XX, via the Rozansky-Witten theory following the ideas of Hitchin, Sawon, and Nieper-Wi{\ss}kirchen.
