Abstract: Given a vector bundle mathcalE on a connected compact complex manifold X, [FLS] use a notion of completed Hochschild homology hatextHH of extDiff(mathcalE) such that hatextHH0(extDiff(mathcalE)) is isomorphic to extH2n(X,mathbbC). On the other hand, they construct a trace on hatextHH0(extDiff(mathcalE)). This therefore gives to a linear functional on extH2n(X,mathbbC). They show that this functional is intX if mathcalE has non zero Euler characteristic. They conjecture that this functional is intX for all mathcalE. These notes prove the integral conjecture in [FLS] for compact complex manifolds having at least one vector bundle with non zero Euler characteristic.


Given a holomorphic vector bundle \(\mathcal E\) on a smooth connected compact complex manifold \(X\), \textit{B. Feigin, A. Losev}, and \textit{B. Shoikhet} [Riemann-Roch-Hirzebruch theorem and topological quantum mechanics. Preprint 2004. \url{arXiv:math.QA/0401400}] use a notion of completed Hochschild homology \(\widehat{HH}\) of \(\mathcal{D}\text{iff}(\mathcal E)\) such that \(\widehat{HH}_0(\mathcal{D}\text{iff}(\mathcal E))\) is isomorphic to \(H^{2n}(X,\mathbb C)\). On the other hand, they construct a linear functional on \(\widehat{HH}_0 (\mathcal{D}\text{iff}(\mathcal E))\). This therefore gives rise to a linear functional \(I_{\mathcal E}\) on \(H^{2n}(X,\mathbb C)\). They show that this functional is \(\int_X\) if \(\mathcal E\) has non-zero Euler characteristic. They conjecture that this functional is \(\int_X\) for all \(\mathcal E\). In this article it is proved that \(I_{\mathcal E}=I_{\mathcal F}\) for any pair \((\mathcal{E,F})\) of holomorphic vector bundles on \(X\). In particular, if \(X\) has one vector bundle with non-zero Euler characteristic, then \(I_{\mathcal E}=\int_X\) for every vector bundle \(\mathcal E\) on \(X\). In [loc. cit.] there is also used a notion of completed cyclic homology \(\widehat{HC}\) of \(\mathcal{D}\text{iff}(\mathcal E)\) such that \(\widehat{HC}_{-i}(\mathcal{D}\text{iff}(\mathcal E))\cong H^{2n-i}(X,\mathbb C)\oplus H^{2n-i+2}(X,\mathbb C)\oplus\cdots\). The construction yielding \(I_{\mathcal E}\) generalizes to give linear functionals on \(\widehat{HC}_{-2i}(\mathcal{D}\text{iff}(\mathcal E))\) for each \(i\geq 0\). The linear functional thus obtained on \(\widehat{HC}_{-2i}(\mathcal{D}\text{iff}(\mathcal E))\) yields a linear functional \(I_{\mathcal E,2i,2k}\) on \(H^{2n-2k}(X,\mathbb C)\) for \(0\leq k\leq i\). It is conjectured in [loc. cit.] that \(I_{\mathcal E,2,0}=\int_X\), and a further conjecture about \(I_{\mathcal E,2,2}\) is made. In this article we prove that \(I_{\mathcal E,2i,0}=I_{\mathcal E}\) for all \(i\geq 0\). In particular, if \(X\) has at least one vector bundle with non-zero Euler characteristic, then \(I_{\mathcal E,2i,0}=\int_X\). We also prove that \(I_{\mathcal E,2i,2k} = 0\) for \(k > 0\). The latter is stronger than what is expected in [loc. cit.] when \(i=k=1\).
