摘要
We establish a localization principle for odd-dimensional supergravity theories containing Chern--Simons interactions. Our construction relies on combining an equivariant extension of the gauge-invariant part of the action with an equivariant completion of the Chern--Simons anomaly form to form a relative equivariant cohomology class. This leads to a universal fixed point formula for the on-shell action of supersymmetric solutions that is expressed in terms of and an equivariant Euler class. We illustrate the formalism in and supergravity, with applications including the supersymmetric Casimir energy and superconformal index of M5-branes, as well as black ring and black lens solutions.
