An analytic Grothendieck Riemann Roch theorem

Abstract: We extend the Boutet de Monvel Toeplitz index theorem to complex manifold with isolated singularities following the relative

K

-homology theory of Baum, Douglas, and Taylor for manifold with boundary. We apply this index theorem to study the Arveson-Douglas conjecture. Let

be the unit ball in

m a t h b b C^{m}

, and

I

an ideal in the polynomial algebra

m a t h b b C [z_{1}, c d o t s, z_{m}]

. We prove that when the zero variety

Z_{I}

is a complete intersection space with only isolated singularities and intersects with the unit sphere

m a t h b b S^{2 m - 1}

transversely, the representations of

m a t h b b C [z_{1}, c d o t s, z_{m}]

on the closure of

I

in

and also the corresponding quotient space

Q_{I}

are essentially normal. Furthermore, we prove an index theorem for Toeplitz operators on

Q_{I}

by showing that the representation of

m a t h b b C [z_{1}, c d o t s, z_{m}]

on the quotient space

Q_{I}

gives the fundamental class of the boundary

Z_{I} c a p m a t h b b S^{2 m - 1}

. In the appendix, we prove with Kai Wang that if

vanishes on

, then

f

is contained inside the closure of the ideal

I

in
