The Chern Character of {theta}-summable Fredholm Modules over dg Algebras and Localization on Loop Space


Abstract in English

We introduce the notion of a {vartheta}-summable Fredholm module over a locally convex dg algebra {Omega} and construct its Chern character as a cocycle on the entire cyclic complex of {Omega}, extending the construction of Jaffe, Lesniewski and Osterwalder to a differential graded setting. Using this Chern character, we prove an index theorem involving an abstract version of a Bismut-Chern character constructed by Getzler, Jones and Petrack in the context of loop spaces. Our theory leads to a rigorous construction of the path integral for N=1/2 supersymmetry which satisfies a Duistermaat-Heckman type localization formula on loop space.
