Abstract. We prove a Γ-equivariant version of the algebraic index theorem, where Γ is
a discrete group of automorphisms of a formal deformation of a symplectic manifold. The
particular cases of this result are the algebraic version of the transversal index theorem
related to the theorem of A. Connes and H. Moscovici for hypoelliptic operators and the
index theorem for the extension of the algebra of pseudodifferential operators by a group
of diffeomorphisms of the underlying manifold due to A. Savin, B. Sternin, E. Schrohe
and D. Perrot.

1. Introduction
The term index theorems is usually used to describe the equality of, on one hand,
analytic invariants of certain operators on smooth manifolds and, on the other hand, topological/geometric invariants associated to their “symbols”. A convenient way of thinking
about this kind of results is as follows.
One starts with a C ∗ -algebra of operators A associated to some geometric situation and
a K-homology cycle (A, π, H, D), where π : A → B(H) is a ∗-representation of A on a
Hilbert space H and D is a Fredholm operator on H commuting with the image of π
modulo compact operators K. The explicit choice of the operator D typically has some
geometric/analytic flavour, and, depending on the parity of the K-homology class, H can
have a Z/2Z grading such that π is even and D is odd. Given such a (say even) cycle, an
index of a reduction of D by an idempotent in A ⊗ K defines a pairing of K-homology and
K-theory, i. e. the group homomorphism
K0 (C, A) × K0 (A, C) −→ Z.
(1)
One can think of this as a Chern character of D,
ch(D) : K∗ (A) −→ Z,
and the goal is to compute it explicitly in terms of some topological data extracted from
the construction of D.
Some examples are as follows.
A = C(X), where X is a compact manifold and D is an elliptic pseudodifferential operator
acting between spaces of smooth sections of a pair of vector bundles on X.
The number < ch(D), [1] > is the Fredholm index of D, i. e. the integer
Ind (D) = dim(Ker(D)) − dim(Coker(D))
and the Atiyah–Singer index theorem identifies it with the evaluation of the Â-genus of
T ∗ X on the Chern character of the principal symbol of D. This is the situation analysed
in the original papers of Atiyah and Singer, see [1].
A = C ∗ (F ), where F is a foliation of a smooth manifold and D is a transversally elliptic
operator on X.
Suppose that a K0 (A) class is represented by a projection p ∈ A, where A is a subalgebra
of A closed under holomorphic functional calculus, so that the inclusion A ⊂ A induces
an isomorphism on K-theory. For appropriately chosen A, the fact that D is transversally
elliptic implies that the operator pDp is Fredholm on the range of p and the index theorem
identifies the integer Ind (pDp) with a pairing of a certain cyclic cocycle on A with the
Chern character of p in the cyclic periodic complex of A. For a special class of hypo-elliptic
operators see f. ex. [6]
Suppose again that X is a smooth manifold. The natural classP
of representatives of Khomology classes of C(X) given by operators of the form D = γ∈Γ Pγ π(γ), where Γ is
EQUIVARIANT ALGEBRAIC INDEX THEOREM
3
a discrete group acting on L2 (X) by Fourier integral operators of order zero and Pγ is
a collection of pseudodifferential operators on X, all of them of the same (non-negative)
order.
The principal symbol σΓ (D) of such a D is an element of the C ∗ -algebra C(S ∗ X) ⋊max Γ,
where S ∗ M is the cosphere bundle of M. Invertibility of σΓ (D) implies that D is Fredholm
and the index theorem in this case would express Ind Γ (D) in terms of some equivariant
cohomology classes of M and an appropriate equivariant Chern character of σΓ (D). For
the case when Γ acts by diffeomorphisms of M, see [25, 19].
The typical computation proceeds via a reduction of the class of operators D under consideration to an algebra of (complete) symbols, which can be thought of as a ”formal
deformation” A~ . Let us spend a few lines on a sketch of the construction of A~ in the case
when the operators in question come from a finite linear combination of diffeomorphisms
of a compact manifold X with coefficients in the algebra DX of differential operators on
X. A special case is of course that of an elliptic differential operator on X.
Example 1.1. Let Γ be a subgroup of the group of diffeomorphisms of X viewed as a
•
discrete group. Γ acts naturally on DX . Let DX
be the filtration by degree of DX . Then
the associated Rees algebra
k
R = {(a0 , a1 , . . .) | ak ∈ DX
}
with the product
(a0 , a1 , . . .)(b0 , b1 , . . .) = (a0 b0 , a0 b1 + a1 b0 , . . . ,
X

i+j=k
has the induced action of Γ. The shift
~ : (a0 , a1 , . . .) → (0, a0 , a1 , . . .)
Q
makes R into an CJ~K-module and R/~R is naturally isomorphic to k P olk (T ∗ X) where
P olk (T ∗ X) is the space of smooth, fiberwise polynomial functions
of degree k on the
Q
∗
cotangent bundle T X. A choice of an isomorphism of R with k P olk (T ∗ X)J~K induces on
Q
∗
∞
∗
k P olk (T X)J~K an associative, ~-bilinear product ⋆, easily seen to extend to C (T X).
Since Γ acts by automorphisms on R, it also acts on (C ∞ (T ∗ X)J~K, ⋆).
This is usually formalized in the following definition.
Definition 1.2. A formal deformation quantization of a symplectic manifold (M, ω) is an
associative CJ~K-linear product ⋆ on C ∞ (M)J~K of the form
X
i~
f ⋆ g = f g + {f, g} +
~k Pk (f, g);
2
k≥2
where {f, g} := ω(Iω (df ), Iω (dg)) is the canonical Poisson bracket induced by the symplectic structure, Iω is the isomorphism of T ∗ M and T M induced by ω, and the Pk denote
bidifferential operators. We will also require that f ⋆ 1 = 1 ⋆ f = f for all f ∈ C ∞ (M)J~K.
We will use A~ (M) to denote the algebra (C ∞ (M)J~K, ⋆). The ideal A~c (M) in A~ (M),

P
consisting of power series of the form k ~k fk , where fk are compactly supported, has a
unique (up to a normalization) trace T r with values in C[~−1 , ~K (see f. ex. [10]).
It is not difficult to see that the index computations (as in 1) reduce to the computation
of the pairing of the trace (or some other cyclic cocycle) with the K-theory of the symbol
algebra, which, in the example above, is identified with a crossed product A~c (M) ⋊ Γ. An
example of this reduction is given in [17].
Since the product in A~c (M) is local, the computation of the pairing of K-theory and cyclic
cohomology of A~c (M) reduces to a differential-geometric problem and the result is usually
called the “algebraic index theorem”.
Remark 1.3. Since cyclic periodic homology is invariant under (pro)nilpotent extensions,
the result of the pairing depends only on the ~ = 0 part of the K-theory of A~c (M) ⋊ Γ. In
our example, the ~ = 0 part of the symbol algebra A~c (M) ⋊ Γ is just Cc∞ (M) ⋊ Γ, hence
the Chern character of D enters into the final result only through a class in the equivariant
cohomology HΓ∗ (M).
1.1. The main result. Suppose that Γ is a discrete group acting by continuous automorphisms on a formal deformation A~ (M) of a symplectic manifold M. Let A~ (M)⋊Γ denote
the algebraic crossed product associated to the given action of Γ. For a non-homogeneous
group cocycle ξ ∈ C k (Γ, C), the formula below defines a cyclic k-cocycle T rξ on A~c (M)⋊Γ.
(2)
T rξ (a0 γ0 ⊗ . . . ⊗ ak γk ) = δe,γ0 γ1 ...γk ξ(γ1 , . . . , γk )T r(a0 γ0 (a1 ) . . . (γ0 γ1 . . . γk−1 )(ak )).
The action of Γ on A~ (M) induces (modulo ~) an action of Γ on M by symplectomorphisms. Let σ be the “principal symbol” map:
A~ (M) → A~ (M)/~A~ (M) ≃ C ∞ (M).
It induces a homomorphism
σ : A~ (M) ⋊ Γ −→ C ∞ (M) ⋊ Γ,
still denoted by σ. Let
•
Φ : HΓ• (M) −→ HCper
(Cc∞ (M) ⋊ Γ)
be the canonical map (first constructed by Connes) induced by (19), where HΓ• (M) denotes
the cohomology of the Borel construction M ×Γ EΓ and Cc∞ (M) denotes the algebra of
compactly supported smooth functions on M.
The main result of this paper is the following.

Then [e] − [f ] is an element of K0 (A~c (M) ⋊ Γ) and its pairing with the cyclic cocycle T rξ

Here ÂΓ ∈ HΓ• (M) is the equivariant Â-genus of M (defined in section 5), θΓ ∈ HΓ• (M) is
the equivariant characteristic class of the deformation A~ (M) (also defined in section 5).
In the case when the action of Γ is free and proper, we recover the algebraic version of
Connes-Moscovici higher index theorem.
The above theorem gives an algebraic version of the results of [25], without the requirement that Γ acts by isometries. To recover the analytic version of the index theorem type
results from [25] and[19] one can apply the methods of [17].
1.2. Structure of the article.
Section 2 contains preliminary material, extracted mainly from [3] and [7]. It is included
for the convenience of the reader and contains the following material.
• Deformation quantization of symplectic manifolds and Gelfand–Fuks construction.
Following Fedosov, a deformation quantization of a symplectic manifold A~ (M) can be
seen as the space of flat sections of a flat connection ∇F on the bundle W of Weyl algebras
over M constructed from the bundle of symplectic vector spaces T ∗ M → M. The fiber of
W is isomorphic to the Weyl algebra g = W (see definition 2.3) and ∇F is a connection
with values in the Lie algebra of derivations of W, equivariant with respect to a maximal
compact subgroup K of the structure group of T ∗ M.
Suppose that L is a (g, K)-module. The Gelfand–Fuks construction provides a complex
(Ω(M, L), ∇F ) of L-valued differential forms with a differential ∇F satisfying ∇2F = 0. Let
us denote the corresponding spaces of cohomology classes by H ∗(M, L). An example is the
Fedosov construction itself, in fact

The Gelfand–Fuks construction also provides a morphism of complexes

• Algebraic index theorem
The Gelfand–Fuks map is used to reduce the algebraic index theorem for a deformation
of M to its Lie algebra version involving only the (g, K)-modules given by the periodic
cyclic complexes of W and the commutative algebra O = CJx1 , . . . , xn , ξ1 , . . . , ξn , ~K. In
fact, the following holds.
Theorem 1.5. Let L• = Hom−• (CC•per (W), Ω̂−• [~−1 , ~K[u−1 , uK[2d]). There exist two elements τ̂a and τ̂t in the hypercohomology group H0Lie (g, K; L• ) such that the following holds.
(1) Suppose that M = T ∗ X for a smooth compact manifold X and A~ (M) is the deformation coming from the calculus of differential operators. Then whenever p and
q are two idempotent pseudodifferential operators with p − q smoothing,

where T r is the standard trace on the trace class operators on L2 (M), p0 (resp. q0 )
are the ~ = 0 components of p (resp. q) and ch : K 0 (M) → H ev (M) is the classical
Chern character.

In general, given a group Γ acting on a deformation quantization algebra A~ (M), there does
not exist any invariant Fedosov connection. As a result, the Gelfand–Fuks map described in
section 2 does not extend to this case. The rest of the paper is devoted to the construction
of a Gelfand–Fuks map that avoids this problem and the proof of the main theorem.
Section 3 is devoted to a generalization of the Gelfand–Fuks construction to the equivariant case, where an analogue of the Fedosov construction and Gelfand–Fuks map are
constructed on M × EΓ.
Section 4 is devoted to a construction of a pairing of the periodic cyclic homology of
the crossed product algebra with a certain Lie algebra cohomology appearing in Section 2.
The main tool is for this construction is the Gelfand–Fuks maps from Section 3.
Section 5 contains the proof of the main result.
The appendix is used to define and prove certain statements about the various cohomology theories appearing in the main body of the paper. All the results and definitions
in the appendices are well-known and standard and are included for the convenience of the
reader.

Notation 2.13. Suppose that l ⊂ h is an inclusion of Lie algebras and suppose that the
ad action of l on h integrates to an action of a Lie group L with Lie algebra l. An h module
M is said to be an (h, L)-module if the action of l on M integrates to a compatible action of
the Lie group L. If an (h, L)-module is equipped with a compatible grading and differential
we will call it an (h, L)-cochain complex.
Definition 2.14. We set
n
o
Ω• (M; L) := η ∈ (Ω• (FM ) ⊗ L)Sp(2d) | ιX (η) = 0 ∀X ∈ sp(2d)
for a (g, Sp(2d, R))-module L. Here the superscript refers to taking invariants for the
diagonal action and ιX stands for contraction with the vertical vector fields tangent to the
action of Sp(2n, R).
Together with ∇F , (Ω• (M; L), ∇F ) forms a cochain complex. The same construction with
a (g, Sp(2d, R)-cochain complex (L• , δ) yields the double complex (Ω• (M; L• ), ∇F , δ)
Remark 2.15. Ω0 (M; L) is the space of sections of a bundle which we will denote by L,
whose fibers are isomorphic to L. (Ω• (M; L), ∇F ) is the de Rham complex of differential
forms with coefficients in L.
Definition 2.16. Suppose that (L• , δ) is a (g, Sp(2d))-cochain complex. The Gelfand-Fuks
•
n
map CLie
(g, sp(2d); L• ) −→ Ω• (M; L• ) is defined as follows. Given ϕ ∈ CLie
(g, sp(2d); L• )
and vector fields {Xi }i=1,...,n on FM set
GF (ϕ)(X1 , . . . , Xn )(p) = ϕ(AF (X1 )(p), . . . , AF (Xn )(p)).
Direct calculation using the fact that ω~ satisfies the Maurer-Cartan equation gives the
following theorem:
Theorem 2.17. The map GF is a morphism of double complexes
•
GF : (CLie
(g, sp(2d); L• ), ∂Lie , δ) −→ (Ω• (M; L• ), ∇F , δ) .
The change of Fedosov connection, i.e. of the section F , gives rise to a chain homotopic
morphism of the total complexes.
Example 2.18.
(1) Suppose that L = C. The associated complex is just the de Rham complex of M.
(2) Suppose that L = W. The associated bundle W(T ∗M), the Weyl bundle of M, is
given by applying the functor W to the symplectic vector bundle T ∗ M. Moreover,
the choice of F determines a canonical quasi-isomorphism
JF∞ : (A~ , 0) −→ (Ω• (M; W), ∇F ) .
(3) Suppose that L = (CC•per (W), b + uB), the cyclic periodic complex of W. The
complex (Ω• (M; CC•per (W)), ∇F + b + uB) is a resolution of the jets at the diagonal
of the cyclic periodic complex of A~ (M).

σ : CC•per (W) → CC•per (O)
to a CJ~K-linear map of complexes CC•per (W) → CC•per (OJ~K), but we will not need it
below.
Notation 2.24.
(1) Action of g by derivations on W extends to the complex CC•per (W)
and we give it the corresponding (g, Sp(2d, R))-module structure.
(2) The action of g on W taken modulo ~W, induces an action of g (by Hamiltonian vector fields) on (Ω̂−• , d) and hence on (Ω̂−• [~−1 , ~K[u−1 , uK[2d], d). We give
(Ω̂−• [~−1 , ~K[u−1 , uK[2d], d) the induced structure of (g, Sp(2d, R))-module.
(3) We set
L• := Hom−• (CC•per (W), Ω̂−• [~−1 , ~K[u−1 , uK[2d]).
L inherits the (g, Sp(2d, R))-module structure from the actions of g described above.
The composition J ◦ HKR ◦ σ̂ is equivariant with respect to the action of g, hence the
following definition makes sense.

The cohomology class of this cocycle is independent of the choice of the extension. We will
denote the corresponding class in H0Lie g, sp(2d); L(~) by τ̂a .

2.4. Algebraic index theorem. An example of an application of the above is the algebraic index theorem for a formal deformation of a symplectic manifold M. Note that we
can view A~ as a complex concentrated in degree 0 and with trivial differential. Then,
using the notation of remark 2.18, we find the quasi-isomorphism
JF∞ : (A~ , 0) −→ (Ω• (M; W), ∇F ) .
Similarly we find the quasi-isomorphism
JF∞ : CC•per (A~ ) −→ Ω• (M; CC•per (W)).
For future reference let us record the following observation.
Lemma 2.28. The quasi-isomorphic inclusion C[~−1 , ~K[u−1 , uK ֒→ Ω̂−• [~−1 , ~K[u−1 , uK induces a quasi-isomorphism
ι : Ω• (M)[~−1 , ~K[u−1, uK[2d], ddR −→ Ω• (M; Ω̂−• [~−1 , ~K[u−1, uK[2d]), ∇F + dˆ .
Notation 2.29. We denote the inverse (up to homotopy) of ι by
•
−• −1
−1
ˆ
T0 : Ω (M; Ω̂ [~ , ~K[u , uK[2d]), ∇F + d −→ Ω• (M)[~−1 , ~K[u−1 , uK[2d], ddR .
For each Q ∈ Ω• (M; L• ) of total degree zero, we can define the map
Q

u−d
R
Ω•−∗ (M; C)[~−1 , ~K[u−1, uK[2d] −→M C[~−1 , ~K.
Clearly CQ is a periodic cyclic cocycle if Q is a cocycle. We will apply this construction to
the two cocycles τ̂t and τ̂a .
Let us start with Cτ̂t . Tracing the definitions we get the following result.
Proposition 2.30. Cτ̂t is given by

ALEXANDER GOROKHOVSKY, NIEK DE KLEIJN, RYSZARD NEST
To get the corresponding result for Cτ̂a recall first that the algebra A~ (M) has a unique
CJ~K-linear trace, up to a normalisation factor. This factor can be fixed as follows. Locally
any deformation of a symplectic manifold is isomorphic to the Weyl deformation. Let U
be such a coordinate chart and let ϕ : A~ (U) → A~ (R2d ) be an isomorphism. Then the
trace T r is normalized by requiring that for any f ∈ A~c (U) we have
Z

T r(f ) =

Proposition 2.31. We have
Cτ̂a = T r.
Comments about the proof. First one checks that Cτ̂a is a 0-cocycle and therefore a trace.
Hence it is a CJ~K-multiple of T r and it is sufficient to evaluate it on elements supported
in a coordinate chart. Moreover, the fact that the Hochschild cohomology class of Cτ̂a
is independent of the Fedosov connection implies that Cτ̂a is independent of it. Thus it
is sufficient to verify the statement for R2d with the standard Fedosov connection. Let
f ∈ A~c (R2d ), one checks that JF∞ (f ) ∈ Ω0 (R2d ; C0 (W)) is cohomologous to the element

fr by precomposition,
Note that, since G
we find that the two actions commute.
It should be apparent from the preceding section that we will need an equivariant
version of the Gelfand-Fuks map in the deformed setting. This will allow us to derive the
EQUIVARIANT ALGEBRAIC INDEX THEOREM
15
equivariant algebraic index theorem from the Lie algebraic one. To do this we will extend
the definition of the one-form AF to the Borel construction EΓ ×Γ M. Explicitly this is
done by defining connection one-forms AF k on the manifolds ∆k × Γk × FM which satisfy
certain boundary conditions. This connection one-form will then serve the usual purpose
in the Gelfand-Fuks map, only now the range of the map will be a model for the equivariant
cohomology of the manifold.
Assume that Γ is a discrete group acting on a manifold X. Set Xk := X × Γk . Define
the face maps ∂ik : Xk → Xk−1 by

Definition 3.1. A de Rham-Sullivan, or compatible form ϕ of degree p is a collection of
forms ϕk ∈ Ωp (∆k × Xk ), k = 0, 1, . . ., satisfying
(8)
(ǫki × id)∗ ϕk = (id ×∂ik )∗ ϕk−1 ∈ Ωp (∆k−1 × Xk )
for 0 ≤ i ≤ k and any k > 0.
If ϕ = {ϕk } is a compatible form, then dϕ := {dϕk } is also a compatible form; for
two compatible forms ϕ = {ϕk } and ψ = {ψk } their product ϕψ := {ϕk ∧ ψk } is another
compatible form. We denote the space of de Rham-Sullivan forms by Ω• (M ×Γ EΓ) in view
of the following
Theorem 3.2. We have
H• (Ω• (M ×Γ EΓ), d) ≃ H•Γ (M)
where the left hand side is the cohomology of the complex Ω• (M ×Γ EΓ) and the right hand
side is the cohomology of the Borel construction M ×Γ EΓ.
See for instance [8] for the proof.
More generally, let V be a Γ-equivariant bundle on X. Let πk : Xk → X be the
projection and let Vk := πk∗ V . Notice that we have canonical isomorphisms
(9)
(∂ik )∗ Vk−1 ∼
= Vk .

ALEXANDER GOROKHOVSKY, NIEK DE KLEIJN, RYSZARD NEST
Definition 3.3. Let V be Γ-equivariant vector bundle. A V valued de Rham-Sullivan
(compatible) form ϕ is a collection ϕk ∈ Ωp (∆k × Xk ; Vk ), k = 0, 1, . . ., satisfying the
conditions (8), where we use the isomorphisms (9) to identify (∂ik )∗ Vk−1 with Vk .
We let Ω• (M ×Γ EΓ; V ) denote the space of V -valued de Rham-Sullivan (compatible)
forms.
For equivariant vector bundles V and W there is a product
Ω• (M ×Γ EΓ; V ) ⊗ Ω• (M ×Γ EΓ; W ) −→ Ω• (M ×Γ EΓ; V ⊗ W )
defined as for the scalar forms by ϕψ := {ϕk ∧ ψk }.
Assume that we have a collection of connections ∇k on the bundles Vk satisfying the
compatibility conditions
(ǫki × id)∗ ∇k = (id ×∂ik )∗ ∇k−1 .
(10)
Then for a compatible form ϕ = {ϕk }
∇ϕ := {∇k ϕk }
is again a compatible form.
Notation 3.4. Now let M be a symplectic manifold and Γ a discrete group acting by
symplectomorphisms on M. We introduce the following notations:
PΓk := ∆k × (FM )k = ∆k × FM × Γk ,
and similarly
MΓk := ∆k × Mk = ∆k × M × Γk
and
fk := ∆k × (Mr )k = ∆k × M
fr × Γk .

Note that PΓk → MΓk is a principal Sp(2d)-bundle, namely the pull-back of FM → M via

(π1 (ϕm ), (ϕm ◦ F0 (π1 (ϕm ))−1 ) (ℓ)). In these terms the action is given by
γ(η ⊗ ℓ) = (γ ∗ η) ⊗ (F0−1 )∗ γ ∗ F0∗ ℓ
where (F0−1 )∗ γ ∗ F0∗ ℓ is the section given by
p 7→ (γ(p), F0 (p)γF0 (γ(p))−1 ℓ).
We consider the corresponding action of Γ on the spaces Ω• MΓk ; L• , where we use Fk
instead of F0 (or in fact on Ω• (N × M; L• ) for any N).
Note that the differential forms AFk define flat connections ∇Fk on Ω• MΓk ; L• for

4. Pairing with HCper
A~c ⋊ Γ
•
In order to derive the equivariant version of the algebraic index theorem we should show
that the universal class τ̂a maps to the class of the trace supported at the identity under
the equivariant Gelfand-Fuks map GFΓ constructed in the previous section. The class τ̂a
br )-cochain complex
lives in the Lie algebra cohomology with values in the (g, G
L• := Hom−• (CC•per (W~ ), Ω̂−• [u−1 , uK[~−1 , ~K[2d]).
Here the action is induced (through conjugation) by the action on W and by the action
(by modding out ~) on Ω̂. From now on the notation L• will refer to this complex. The
differential ∂L on L• is given by viewing it as the usual morphism space internal to chain
complexes. In order to derive the equivariant algebraic index theorem we shall have to pair
classes in Lie algebra cohomology with values in L• with periodic cyclic chains of A~c ⋊ Γ
using the equivariant Gelfand–Fuks map. Since the trace on A~c ⋊ Γ is supported at the
identity we only need to consider the component of the cyclic complexes supported at the
identity.
Definition 4.1 (Homogeneous Summand).
Let CC•per (A~ ⋊ Γ)e be the subcomplex spanned (over C[u−1 , uK) by the chains

such that γ0 γ1 . . . γn = e ∈ Γ,

5. Evaluation of the equivariant classes
In the previous sections we defined the map
Iξ : H0 (g, sp(2d); L• ) −→ HCkper (A~c ⋊ Γ),
where k = |ξ|. The last step in proving the main result of this paper is to evaluate the
classes appearing in Lie algebraic index theorem 2.27.
First of all we consider the image under Iξ of the trace density τ̂a . Consider the map
hGFΓ (τ̂a ), ·i : C0 (Γ; C0 (A~c )) −→ C[~−1 , ~K.
Since in degree 0 the equivariant Gelfand–Fuks map is given by the ordinary Gelfand–Fuks
map on M, this map coincides with the canonical trace T r (cf. the proof of theorem 2.32).
It follows that
hGFΓ (τ̂a ), α ⊗ (γ1 ⊗ . . . γk ) ∩ ξi = ξ(γ1, . . . , γk )T r(α)
From this discussion we obtain the following:
22
ALEXANDER GOROKHOVSKY, NIEK DE KLEIJN, RYSZARD NEST
Proposition 5.1. We have Iξ (τ̂a ) = T rξ where T rξ is a cocycle on A~c (M) ⋊ Γ given by
(15)
T rξ (a0 γ0 ⊗ . . . ⊗ ak γk ) = ξ(γ1 , . . . , γk )T r(a0 γ0 (a1 ) . . . (γ0 γ1 . . . γk−1 (ak ))
if γ0 γ1 . . . γk = e and 0 otherwise.
Definition 5.2. The equivariant Weyl curvature θΓ is defined as the image of θ̂ under GFΓ
followed by (CJ~K-linear extension of) the map in Theorem 3.2. Similarly, the equivariant
Â-genus of M, denoted Â(M)Γ , is defined as the image of  under the equivariant Gelfand–
Fuks map followed by (CJ~K-linear extension of) the isomorphism in Theorem 3.2.
Example 5.3. Let us provide an example of the characteristic class θΓ . To do this consider the example of group actions on deformation quantization given in [14]. Namely, we
consider the symplectic manifold R2 /Z2 = T2 , the 2-torus, with the symplectic structure
ω = dy ∧ dx induced from the standard one on R2 , where x, y ∈ R/Z are the standard
coordinates on T2 . We then consider the action of Z on T2 by symplectomorphisms where
the generator of Z acts by T : (x, y) 7→ (x+x0 , y +y0). Note that, for a generic pair (x0 , y0 ),
the quotient space is not Hausdorff.
The Fedosov connection ∇F given as in Example 2.12 descends to the connection on
T2 which is, moreover, Z-invariant (where we endow C ∞ (T2 , W) with the action of Z
induced by the symplectic action on T2 ). It follows that A~ = Ker ∇F is a Z-equivariant
ω
deformation with the characteristic class i~
.
We can obtain a more interesting example by modifying the previous one as follows (cf.
[14]). Let u ∈ C ∞ (T2 , W) be an invertible element such that u−1 (∇F u) is central. Define
a new action of Z on C ∞ (T2 , W) where the generator acts by
w 7→ u−1 (T w)u.
Ker ∇F is again invariant under this action and we thus obtain an action of Z on A~ .
To describe its characteristic class note that, since EZ ∼
= R, we find that the cohomology

Appendices
Below we shall fix our conventions with regard to cyclic/simplicial structures and homologies. We will also define the complexes we use to describe group (co)homology, Lie algebra
cohomology and cyclic (co)homology. The general reference for this section is [15].
Fix a field k of characteristic 0.
Appendix A. Cyclic/simplicial structure
Let Λ denote the cyclic category. Instead of giving the intuitive definition let us simply
give a particularly useful presentation. The cyclic category Λ has objects [n] for each
n ∈ Z≥0 and is generated by
δin ∈ Hom([n − 1], [n])
and σin ∈ Hom([n + 1], [n])
for 0 ≤ i ≤ n
for all n ∈ Z≥0

Using only the generators δin and σin and relations not involving tn ’s gives a presentation
of the simplicial category △. A contravariant functor from Λ (△) to the category of kmodules is called a cyclic (simplicial) k-module.
Definition A.1. Given a unital associative k-algebra A we shall denote by A♮ the functor
Λop → k − Mod given by A♮ ([n]) = A⊗n+1 and
δin (a0 ⊗ . . . ⊗ an ) =a0 ⊗ . . . ⊗ ai ai+1 ⊗ . . . ⊗ an
if 0 ≤ i < n
δnn (a0 ⊗ . . . ⊗ an ) =an a0 ⊗ a1 ⊗ . . . ⊗ an−1
σin (a0 ⊗ . . . ⊗ an ) =a0 ⊗ . . . ⊗ ai ⊗ 1 ⊗ ai+1 ⊗ . . . ⊗ an
for all 0 ≤ i ≤ n
tn (a0 ⊗ . . . ⊗ an ) =a1 ⊗ . . . ⊗ an ⊗ a0
Note that if A admits a group action of the group G by unital algebra homomorphisms
then G also acts on A♮ (diagonally).
Definition A.2. Given a group G we shall denote by Gk♮ the functor Λop → k − Mod
given by Gk♮ ([n]) = (kG)⊗n+1 and
δin (g0 ⊗ . . . ⊗ gn ) =g0 ⊗ . . . ⊗ gˆi ⊗ . . . ⊗ gn
for all 0 ≤ i ≤ n
σin (g0 ⊗ . . . ⊗ gn ) =g0 ⊗ . . . ⊗ gi ⊗ gi ⊗ gi+1 ⊗ . . . ⊗ gn
for all 0 ≤ i ≤ n
tn (g0 ⊗ . . . ⊗ gn ) =g1 ⊗ g2 ⊗ . . . ⊗ gn ⊗ g0 .
Note that G acts on Gk♮ from the right by g · (g0 ⊗ . . . ⊗ gn ) = g −1 g0 ⊗ . . . ⊗ g −1 gn .
Definition A.3. Given two cyclic k-modules A♮ and B ♮ we shall denote by A♮B the cyclic
k-module given by A♮B([n]) = A♮ ([n]) ⊗ B ♮ ([n]) with the diagonal cyclic structure.
A.1. Cyclic homologies. Given a cyclic k-module M ♮ we can consider four different
complexes associated to the simplicial/cyclic structure. To define them we shall first define
two operators: b and B.
The first is induced through the Dold–Kan correspondence and uses only the simplicial
structure. It is given by
bn =
n
X
(−1)i δin : M ♮ ([n]) −→ M ♮ ([n − 1]).
i=0
By using the simplicial identities above it is easily verified that bn−1 bn = 0. To define the
“Hochschild” complex it is enough to have just the operators bn .
To define the three cyclic complexes we shall use the operator
!

n
Bn = (t−1
(−1)in tin : M ♮ ([n]) −→ M ♮ ([n + 1]).

(−1)i(n+1) (tn+1
+ (−1)n tin+1 ) = 0.
i=0
Vanishing of the above expression follows since the sum telescopes except for the first term
n(n+1) n+1
t−1
tn+1 , which also cancel each other. Note also that
n+1 and the last term −(−1)
(17)
bn+1 Bn + Bn−1 bn = 0,
this can be seen by writing out both operators as sums of operators in the normal form
δkn σln−1 tin .
From now on we will drop the subscripts of the b and B operators. The cyclic module
M ♮ gives rise to a graded module {Mn♮ }n∈Z≥0 by Mn♮ = M ♮ ([n]). Then we see that the
operator b turns M ♮ into a chain complex.
Definition A.4. The Hochschild complex (C•Hoch (M ♮ ), b) of the cyclic module M ♮ is defined
as CnHoch (M ♮ ) := M ♮ ([n]) equipped with the boundary operator b (of degree −1). The
corresponding homology shall be denoted HH• (M ♮ ).
Note that we have not used the full cyclic structure of M ♮ to construct
the Hochschild
△
complex. In fact one can form the Hochschild complex C• (M ), b of any simplicial
k-module M △ in exactly the same way.
Note that by (17) and (16) we find that (b + B)2 = 0. This implies that we could
consider a certain double complex with columns given by the Hochschild complex. Note
however that, if b is of degree −1 on the Hochschild complex, the operator B is naturally of
degree +1. We can consider a new grading for which the operator b + B is of homogeneous
degree −1. In order to make this grading easy to see, it will be useful to introduce the
formal variable u of degree −2. This leads us to several choices of double complexes.
Definition A.5. We define the cyclic complex by
.
Hoch
♮
−1
(CC• (M ♮ ), δ ♮ ) := C• (M )[u , uK C Hoch (M ♮ )JuK , b + uB ,
•
the negative cyclic complex by
♮
(CC•− (M ♮ ), δ−
) := C•Hoch (M ♮ )JuK, b + uB
and finally the periodic cyclic complex by
♮
(CC•per (M ♮ ), δper
) := C•Hoch (M ♮ )[u−1 , uK, b + uB .
Here u denotes a formal variable of degree −2. The corresponding homologies will be
per
♮
♮
denoted HC• (M ♮ ), HC−
• (M ) and HC• (M ) respectively. The cyclic cochain complexes
•
CCper
(M ♮ ), CC−• (M ♮ ) and CC • (M ♮ ) are defined as the k-duals of the chain complexes.
We shall often omit the superscripts ♮ when there can be no confusion as to what the
cyclic structures are.
26
Remark A.6. Note that every “flavor” of cyclic homology comes equipped with spectral
sequences induced from the fact that they are realized as totalizations of a double complex.
The double complex corresponding to cyclic homology is bounded (second octant) and
therefore the spectral sequence which starts by taking homology on columns converges to
HC• . The negative (or periodic) cyclic double complex is unbounded, but concentrated
in the (second,) third, fourth and fifth octant. This means that the spectral sequence
per
starting with taking homology in the columns converges again to HC−
• (or HC• ). Note
however that in this case the negative (or periodic) cyclic homology is given by the product
totalization.
The remark A.6 provides the proof of the following proposition.
Proposition A.7. Suppose M ♮ and N ♮ are two cyclic k-modules and ϕ : N ♮ −→ M ♮ is
a map of cyclic modules that induces an isomorphism on Hochschild homologies. Then ϕ
induces an isomorphism on cyclic, negative cyclic and periodic cyclic homologies as well.
Proof.
The proof follows since ϕ induces isomorphisms on the first pages of the relevant spectral
sequences, which converge.
A.2. Replacements for cyclic complexes. It will often be useful to consider different
complexes that compute the various cyclic homologies. We shall give definitions of the
complexes that are used in the main body of the article here.
A.2.1. Crossed product. Suppose A is a unital k-algebra and G is a group acting on the
left by unital algebra homomorphisms. We denote by A ⋊ G the crossed product algebra
given by A ⊗ kG as a k-vector space and by the multiplication rule (ag)(bh) = ag(b)gh
for all a, b ∈ A and g, h ∈ G. Note that the cyclic structure of (A ⋊ G)♮ splits over the
conjugacy classes of G. Namely, given a tensor a0 g0 ⊗ a1 g1 ⊗ . . . ⊗ an gn , the conjugacy class
of the product g0 · . . . · gn is invariant under δin , σin and tn for all i and n. So we have
M
(A ⋊ G)♮ =
(A ⋊ G)♮x
x∈hGi
where we denote the set of conjugacy classes of G by hGi and the span of all tensors
a0 g0 ⊗ . . . ⊗ an gn such that g0 · . . . · gn ∈ x by (A ⋊ G)♮x . The summand (A ⋊ G)♮e , here
e = {e} the conjugacy class of the neutral element, is called the homogeneous summand.
We shall use the specialized notation A♮G := A♮ ♮Gk♮ . Note that A♮G carries a right G
action given by the diagonal action (the left action on A is converted
to a right action by
.
inversion, i.e. G ≃ Gop ). Thus the co-invariants (A♮G)G = A♮G ha − g(a)i form another
cyclic k-module.
Proposition A.8. The homogeneous summand of (A ⋊ G)♮ is isomorphic to the coinvariants of A♮G.

(A ⋊ G)♮e −→ (A♮G)G .

Proof.
Consider the map given by
a0 g0 ⊗. . .⊗an gn 7→ (g0−1 (a0 )⊗a1 ⊗g1 (a2 )⊗. . .⊗g1 . . . gn−1 (an ))♮(e⊗g1 ⊗g1 g2 ⊗. . .⊗g1 ·. . .·gn ),
it is easily checked to commute with the cyclic structure and allows the inverse given by

(an )gn−1
gn
−1
this last tensor can also be expressed as gn−1a0 g0 ⊗ g0−1a1 g1 ⊗ . . . ⊗ gn−1
an gn .
Definition A.9. Suppose (M• , ∂) is a right kG-chain complex. Then we define the group
homology of G with values in M as
Q
(C• (G; M), δ(G,M ) ) := Tot M• ⊗kG C•Hoch (G)
where we consider the tensor product of kG-chain complexes with the obvious structure of
left kG-chain complex on C•Hoch (G). Note that this means that
Y
Cn (G; M) =
Mp ⊗kG CqHoch (G)
p+q=n
and
δ(G,M ) = ∂ ⊗ Id + Id ⊗ b
where we use the Koszul sign convention.
Proposition A.10. Suppose M is a right kG-module. Then M ⊗ kG with the diagonal
right action is a free kG-module.
Proof. Let us denote the k-module underlying M by F (M), then F (M) ⊗ kG denotes the
free (right) kG-module induced by the k-module underlying M. Consider the map
M ⊗ kG −→ F (M) ⊗ kG
given by m⊗g 7→ mg −1 ⊗g. It is obviously a map of kG-modules and allows for the inverse
m ⊗ g 7→ mg ⊗ g.
Proposition A.11. Suppose F is a free right kG-module (we view it as a chain complex
concentrated in degree 0 with trivial differential) then there exists a contracting homotopy
HF : C• (G; F ) −→ C•+1 (G; F ).
Suppose (F• , ∂) is a quasi-free right kG-chain complex (i.e. Fn is a free kG-module for all
n) then the homotopies HFn give rise to a quasi-isomorphism
∼
((F• )G , ∂) −→ (C• (G; F ), δ(G,F ) ).
Proof.
Note that F ≃ M ⊗ kG since it is a free module. So we find that
Cp (G; F ) = (M ⊗ kG) ⊗kG (kG)⊗p+1 ≃ M ⊗ (kG)⊗p+1
by the map m ⊗ g ⊗ g0 ⊗ . . . ⊗ gp 7→ m ⊗ gg0 ⊗ . . . ⊗ ggp. Using this normalization we
consider the map HM given by
m ⊗ g0 ⊗ . . . ⊗ gp 7→ m ⊗ e ⊗ g0 ⊗ . . . ⊗ gp
28
and note that indeed
p+1
p
δG
HM + HM δG
= Id
(we denote δG := δ(G,M ) = Id ⊗ b) for all p > 0.
Now for the second statement we find that Fn ≃ Mn ⊗kG for each n since it is quasi-free.
For each n we have the homotopy Hn := HFn given by the formula above on C• (G; Fn ).
Then we consider the map
QH : (Fp )G −→ Cp (G; F )
given by
∞
X
q+1
1
(−H∂)q Hf
QF ([f ]) = f − δG Hf +
(−H∂)q f − ∂(−H∂)q−1 Hf − δG
q=1
where we have dropped the subscript from H and we denote the class of f in the coinvariants FG by [f ] . One may check by straightforward computation that QF is a welldefined morphism of complexes. Now we note that the double complex defining C• (G; F )
is concentrated in the upper half plane and therefore comes with a spectral sequence
with first page given by Hp (G; Fq ) which converges to H(Cp+q (G; F )) (group homology).
Note however that since F• is quasi-free we find that Hp (G, Fq ) = 0 unless p = 0 and
H0 (G, Fq ) = (Fq )G . Thus, since QF induces an isomorphism on the first page and the
spectral sequence converges, we find that QF is a quasi-isomorphism.
As a kG-module we see that A♮G([n]) = A♮ ([n]) ⊗ Gk♮ ([n]) = B([n]) ⊗ kG with the
diagonal action, where B([n]) = A⊗n+1 ⊗ kG⊗n . So by proposition A.10 we find that the
Hochschild and various cyclic chain complexes corresponding to A♮G are quasi-free. Thus
we can construct the quasi-isomorphisms from proposition A.11 for each chain complex
associated to the cyclic module A♮G. So we find four quasi-isomorphisms which we shall
denote QHoch , Q, Q− and Qper corresponding to the Hochschild, cyclic, negative cyclic and
periodic cyclic complexes respectively.
Proposition A.12. The map
A♮G −→ A♮
given by
(a0 ⊗ . . . ⊗ an )♮(g0 ⊗ . . . ⊗ gn ) 7→ a0 ⊗ . . . ⊗ an
induces a quasi-isomorphism on all associated complexes.
Proof.
Note that, by proposition A.7, it is sufficient to prove the statement for the Hochschild
complexes. Let us denote the standard free resolution of G by F (G), note that
F (G) = (C•Hoch (Gk♮ ), b).
The map given above is obtained by first applying the Alexander–Whitney map
M
CnHoch (A♮ ) ⊗ CnHoch (Gk♮ ) −→
CpHoch (A♮ ) ⊗ CqHoch (Gk♮ ),
p+q=n
29
which yields a quasi-isomorphism
∼
C•Hoch (A♮G) −→ C•Hoch (A♮ ) ⊗ C•Hoch (Gk♮ ),
where we consider the tensor product of chain complexes on the right-hand side. Then
one simply takes the cap product with the generator in H ∗ (F (G)∗ ) ≃ k, which is also a
quasi-isomorphism. So we find that the map is a quasi-isomorphism for the Hochschild
complexes.
Note that the map given in proposition A.12 is also G-equivariant and therefore it
induces a map
C• (G; A♮G) −→ C• (G; A♮ )
which is a quasi-isomorphism when we consider the group homology complex with values
in the various complexes associated to A♮ .
Theorem A.13. The composite maps from the Hochschild and various cyclic complexes
associated to (A⋊Γ)♮e to the group homology with values in the various Hochschild and cyclic
complexes associated to A♮ implied by propositions A.8 and A.12 are quasi-isomorphisms,
i.e. there are quasi-isomorphisms
∼
C•Hoch (A ⋊ G)♮e , b −→ C• (G; C•Hoch (A))
∼
CC• (A ⋊ G)♮e , δ ♮ −→ C• (G; CC•(A))
♮ ∼
CC•− (A ⋊ G)♮e , δ−
−→ C• (G; CC•− (A))
and
♮ ∼
CC•per (A ⋊ G)♮e , δper
−→ C• (G; CC•per (A)).
Remark A.14. Note that since the cyclic and Hochschild complexes are bounded below the
product totalizations in our definition of group homology agrees with the (usual) direct
sum totalizations. In the periodic cyclic and negative cyclic cases they do not agree in
general.
Remark A.15. Suppose that a discrete group Γ acts on a smooth manifold M by diffeomorphisms. The above produces a morphism of complexes
CC•per (C ∞ (M)c ⋊ Γ) → C• (Γ, CC•per (Cc∞ (M))
Composing it with the morphism
CC•per (Cc∞ (M)) −→ Ω•c (M)[u−1 , uK,
induced by the map
f0 ⊗ f1 ⊗ . . . ⊗ fn 7→
1
f0 df1 . . . dfn
n!
we get a morphism of complexes
(18)
CC•per (C ∞ (M)c ⋊ Γ) → C• (Γ, Ω•c (M)[u−1 , uK).
30
In the case when M is oriented and the elements of Γ preserve orientation, the transpose
of this map can be interpreted as a morphism of complexes

A.2.2. Group Homology. It is often useful to consider instead of the above complex for
group homology an isomorphic complex, which we will call the non-homogeneous complex.
Definition A.16. Suppose (M• , ∂) is a right kG-chain complex, then we set
Y
C̃n (G; M) :=
Mq ⊗ (kG)⊗p .
p+q=n
We define the operators δip : M• ⊗ (kG)⊗p → M• ⊗ (kG)⊗p−1 by
δ0p (m ⊗ g1 ⊗ . . . ⊗ gp ) := g1 (m) ⊗ g2 ⊗ . . . ⊗ gp
δip (m ⊗ g1 ⊗ . . . ⊗ gp ) := m ⊗ g1 ⊗ . . . ⊗ gi gi+1 ⊗ . . . ⊗ gp
for all 0 < i < p and finally
δpp (m ⊗ g1 ⊗ . . . ⊗ gp ) := m ⊗ g1 ⊗ . . . ⊗ gp−1.
We define (C̃• (G; M), δ̃(G,M ) ) to be the chain complex given by
δ̃(G,M ) = ∂ ⊗ Id + Id ⊗ δG
p
where δG
=
Pp
p
i=0 δi .
Proposition A.17. There is an isomorphism of chain complexes
C• (G; M) −→ C̃• (G; M).
Proof.
Consider the map
Cn (G; M) −→ C̃n (G; M),
given by
−1
m ⊗ g0 ⊗ . . . ⊗ gp 7→ g0 (m) ⊗ g0−1g1 ⊗ g1−1 g2 ⊗ . . . ⊗ gp−1
gp .
Note that it commutes with the differentials and allows for the inverse given by
m ⊗ g1 ⊗ . . . ⊗ gp 7→ m ⊗ e ⊗ g1 ⊗ g1 g2 ⊗ . . . ⊗ g1 · . . . · gp .
We will usually use this chain complex when dealing with group homology and thus we
will drop the tilde in the main body of this article.

A.3. Lie algebra cohomology. In this section let us describe the Lie algebra cohomology.
Although there are various deep relations between Lie algebra cohomology and cyclic and
Hochschild homologies we have chosen to present the complex in a separate manner. One
could compute the Lie algebra cohomology using a Hochschild complex, however in the
relative case (which we need in this article) there are several subtleties that we would
rather avoid by considering a different complex.
Definition A.18. Suppose g is a Lie algebra over k, h ֒→ g a subalgebra and (M• , ∂) is a
g-chain complex. Then we denote

where the hats signify omission. Note that ∂Lie
∂Lie = 0 and ∂Lie commutes with ∂ by
assumption. Thus we can consider the totalization of the corresponding double complex.
We will denote the corresponding hypercohomology by H•Lie (g, h; M).
Remark A.19. We actually only consider the Lie algebra cohomology of infinite dimensional
Lie algebras here. For these the complex above is not very useful. The Lie algebras we
consider come with a topology (induced by filtration) however and so do the coefficients.
Using this fact we can consider in the above not simply anti-symmetric linear maps, but
continuous anti-symmetric linear maps from the completed tensor products.
