    The Chern-Connes character relates finitely summable Fredholm modules (resp. \(\Theta\)-summable ones) to cyclic cocycles (resp. to entire cyclic cocycles). This paper concerns the equivariant version [cf. also \textit{D. Gong}, `Equivariant cyclic cohomology, equivariant Chern character and equivariant Novikov's conjecture', Ph. D. thesis, SUNY (1992)] by applying a technique, the so-called Clifford asymptotics for heat kernels. Given a connected compact Lie group \(G\) acting on a closed even dimensional spin-manifold \(M\) by isometries, the \(G\)-action commutes with Clifford multiplication and the Dirac operator \(D\) is \(G\)-invariant, so that an equivariant \(\Theta\)-summable Fredholm module over the \(G\)-algebra \({\mathcal A}= C^\infty(M)\) is derived, and a cyclic cohomological formula for the equivariant Chern character in both cases is given.
