The author studies in detail the circle-equivariant elliptic cohomology theory constructed by \textit{I. Grojnowski} (unpublished). It seems that the main achievement of the author is a construction of a canonical Thom class for a certain class of \(S^1\)-equivariant vector bundles: this class generalizes the sigma-orientation constructed by \textit{M. Ando, M. J. Hopkins} and \textit{N. P. Strickland } [Invent. Math. 146, No. 3, 595--687 (2001; Zbl 1031.55005)].
