The chiral de Rham complex and positivity of the equivariant signatures of some loop spaces (Q1434148): Difference between revisions

In this note the authors show that the positivity property of the equivariant signature of the loop space, first observed by \textit{F. Malikov} and \textit{V. Schechtman} [Commun. Math. Phys. 234, No. 1, 77--100 (2003; Zbl 1033.58022)] in the case of the even-dimensional projective spaces, is valid for Picard number 2 toric varieties. A new formula for the equivariant signature of the loop space in the case of a toric spin variety is derived.
