Let \(M\) be a smooth manifold with a circle action. The main purpose of this paper is to discuss how to get the topological information about one relatively complicated fixed point set denoted \(P_0\), from the other much simpler fixed points. For this purpose, the author derives several very simple integral formulas which express integrals over \(P_0\) in terms of integrals over the other fixed point sets denoted by \(P\). The obtained formulas are used to give an explicit expression for integrations of cohomology classes on the moduli space of higher rank stable bundles over a Riemann surface in terms of integrals over lower rank moduli spaces. In Section 5 the author derives a formula in equivariant \(K\)-theory which relates the multiplicity formula of Guillemin-Sternberg [\textit{V. Guillemin} and \textit{S. Sternberg}, Invent. Math. 67, 515-538 (1982; Zbl 0503.58018)] and the Verlinde formula [\textit{M. Thaddeus}, Invent. Math. 117, No. 2, 317-353 (1994; Zbl 0882.14003)]. Finally, some localization formulas for Hitchin's moduli space are presented and their proofs are indicated. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0908.00032].
