Abstract: This work is divide in two cases. In the first case, we consider a spin manifold $M$ as the set of fixed points of an $S^1$-action on a spin manifold $X$, and in the second case we consider the spin manifold $M$ as the set of fixed points of an $S^1$-action on the loop space of $M$. For each case, we build on $M$ a vector bundle, a connection and a set of bundle endomorphisms. These objects are used to build global operators on $M$ which define an analytical index in each case. In the first case, the analytical index is equal to the topological equivariant Atiyah Singer index, and in the second case the analytical index is equal to a topological expression where the Witten genus appears.
