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

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.
