Abstract

We construct a cocycle model for complex analytic equivariant elliptic cohomology that refines Grojnowski's theory when the group is connected and Devoto's when the group is finite. We then construct Mathai--Quillen type cocycles for equivariant elliptic Euler and Thom classes, explaining how these are related to positive energy representations of loop groups. Finally, we show that these classes give a unique equivariant refinement of Hopkins' "theorem of the cube" construction of the MString{\rm MString}-orientation of elliptic cohomology.
