Unlike its finite dimensional cousin, the formula obtained here only needs to valuate on a finite subgroup of T depending on the 'level' of the LG-action and the dual Coxeter number of G, due to a fundamental cancelation. If the fixed-point sets of elements of the finite subgroup do not intersect the compactification locus used in constructing the finite dimensional model, the fixed point formula has a particularly simple form, which will be shown for the case of Verlinde formula. This paper was written in early 1997 and had limited circulation, before I left academia. The version here has a computer time-stamp 6/10/97. I have been urged by former colleaques to archive this article together with its sequels on the net.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "1998-12-28T01:45:29.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "fixed point formula", "loop group actions", "finite dimensional model", "finite subgroup", "finite dimensional cousin" ], "note": { "typesetting": "LaTeX", "pages": 77, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "1998math.....12148C" } } }
