      [For the entire collection see Zbl 0706.00012.] In this expository article the author reviews a number of contexts in which the Lefschetz fixed point formula of an algebraic or topological action has been exploited in the study of representations and their character functions. The author's examples include the Weil conjectures, the Steinberg representation, the Green polynomials, Lusztig's applications of intersection cohomology to study Green's functions and the related formulae of \textit{W. Borho} and \textit{R. MacPherson} [Astérisque 101-102, 23-74 (1983; Zbl 0576.14046)].
