Bott residue formula

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In mathematics, the Bott residue formula, introduced by Bott (1967), describes a sum over the fixed points of a holomorphic vector field of a compact complex manifold.

Statement

[edit]

If v is a holomorphic vector field on a compact complex manifold M, then

where

  • The sum is over the fixed points p of the vector field v
  • The linear transformation Ap is the action induced by v on the holomorphic tangent space at p
  • P is an invariant polynomial function of matrices of degree dim(M)
  • Θ is a curvature matrix of the holomorphic tangent bundle
