Cohomological formulae for the equivariant index of a transversally elliptic operator
Paul-Emile Paradan
(Montpellier, France)

Abstract: In the 70's, the notion of analytic index has been extended by Atiyah and Singer to the class of transversally elliptic operators. They did not, however, give a general cohomological formula for the index. This was accomplished many years later by Berline and Vergne. The Berline-Vergne formula is an integral of a non-compactly supported equivariant form on the cotangent bundle, and depends on rather subtle growth conditions for these forms.

In this course, we will explain an alternative expression for the index obtained recently by Paradan and Vergne, where the non-compactly supported form is replaced with a compactly supported one, but with generalized coefficients.
