Riemann-Roch Theorem for Circle Bundles

 

ABSTRACT:  To the data of a circle bundle and a vector bundle on the total space thereof I will associate a characteristic class taking values in the (degree three) cohomology of the base and show how it arises as a fiberwise integral. Time permitting I will discuss generalizations to higher relative dimensions.
