This article is a continuation of SG/0107014. Some vanishing theorems for orbifold elliptic genus of level N for multi-fans are proved. As an application, complete Q-factorial toric varieties whose canonical divisors are divisible by their…

Three types of rigidity theorem for orbifold elliptic genus of level N are proved. The first type deals with the case where N is relatively prime to the orders of all isotropy groups. If the top exterior power of the tangent bundle is…

The classical multiplicative (Hirzebruch) genera of manifolds have the wonderful property which is called rigidity. Rigidity of a genus h means that if a compact connected Lie group G acts on a manifold X, then the equivariant genus h^G(X)…

We prove that if a complex genus $\varphi \colon \varOmega^U \to R$ is rigid on $SU$-manifolds with a torus action then $\varphi$ is the elliptic Krichever genus.

Using the Liu's method, we prove a new Witten rigidity theorem of elliptic genus of twisted Dirac operators in even dimensional spin manifolds under the circle action. Combined with the Han-Yu's method, we prove the Witten rigidity theorems…

We establish several Witten type rigidity and vanishing theorems for twisted Toeplitz operators on odd dimensional manifolds. We obtain our results by combining the modular method, modular transgression and some careful analysis of odd…

We show that the Witten genus of a string manifold $M$ vanishes, if there is an effective action of a torus $T$ on $M$ such that $\dim T>b_2(M)$. We apply this result to study group actions on $M\times G/T$, where $G$ is a compact connected…

In this paper we derive topological and number theoretical consequences of the rigidity of elliptic genera, which are special modular forms associated to each compact almost complex manifold. In particular, on the geometry side, we prove…

Let a $k$-dimensional torus $T^k$ act on a $2n$-dimensional compact connected almost complex manifold $M$ with isolated fixed points. As for circle actions, we show that there exists a (directed labeled) multigraph that encodes weights at…

Assume that $M$ is a compact connected unitary 2n-dimensional manifold and admits a non-trivial circle action preserving the given complex structure. If the first Chern class of $M$ equals to $k_0x$ for a certain 2nd integral cohomology…

In this paper, we prove that the Todd genus of a compact complex manifold $X$ of complex dimension $n$ with vanishing odd degree cohomology is one if the automorphism group of $X$ contains a compact $n$-dimensional torus $\Tn$ as a…

The Hirzebruch $td_y(X)$ class of a complex manifold X is a formal combination of Chern characters of the sheaves of differential forms multiplied by the Todd class. The related $\chi_y$-genus admits a generalization for singular complex…

In this paper, we construct for the first time, the Witten genus and elliptic genera on noncompact manifolds with a proper cocompact action by an almost connected Lie group and prove vanishing and rigidity results that generalise known…

Several independent articles have observed that the Hirzebruch $\chi_y$-genus has an important feature, which the author calls -1-phenomenon and tells us that the coefficients of the Taylor expansion of the $\chi_y$-genus at $y=-1$ have…

Multi-fan is an analogous notion of fan. As a fan is associated to a toric variety a multi-fan is associated to a torus orbifold. Orbifold elliptic class and orbifold elliptic genus are defined for a triple of a multi-fan, a set of…

We derive several vanishing theorems for genera under almost nonnegative Ricci curvature and infinite fundamental group, which includes Todd genus, $\widehat{A}$-genus, elliptic genera and Witten genus. A vanishing theorem of Euler…

We define the class of high dimensional graph manifolds. These are compact smooth manifolds supporting a decomposition into finitely many pieces, each of which is diffeomorphic to the product of a torus with a finite volume hyperbolic…

A quasitoric manifold is a smooth 2n-manifold M^{2n} with an action of the compact torus T^n such that the action is locally isomorphic to the standard action of T^n on C^n and the orbit space is diffeomorphic, as manifold with corners, to…

We construct geometric generators of the effective $S^1$-equivariant Spin- (and oriented) bordism groups with two inverted. We apply this construction to the question of which $S^1$-manifolds admit invariant metrics of positive scalar…

In LM, we proved a family version of the famous Witten rigidity theorems and several family vanishing theorems for elliptic genera. In this paper, we gerenalize our theorems LM in two directions. First we establish a family rigidity theorem…
