Description

The purpose of the present memoir is two-fold. First, the authors obtain a non-abelian localization theorem when M is any even dimensional compact manifold : following an idea of E.

Witten, the authors deform an elliptic symbol associated to a Clifford bundle on M with a vector field associated to a moment map.

Second, the authors use this general approach to reprove the $[Q,R] = 0$ theorem of Meinrenken-Sjamaar in the Hamiltonian case and obtain mild generalizations to almost complex manifolds.

This non-abelian localization theorem can be used to obtain a geometric description of the multiplicities of the index of general $spin^c$ Dirac operators.
