review text: This paper is based on ideas and results presented by \textit{V. Bukhshtaber} and the author in [Izv. Math. 64, No. 2, 223-247 (2000); translation from Izv. Ross. Akad. Nauk, Ser. Mat. 64, No. 2, 3-28 (2000; Zbl 0969.55001)]. The main result here can be interpreted as an equivariant analogue of the Poincaré-Hopf theorem; it allows to express the Gysin homomorphism of a fiber bundle \(E\) with fiber a smooth closed manifold via the Gysin homomorphisms of the restrictions of \(E\) to the components of the zero set of a vector field tangent to the fibers of \(E\). Several applications of the main theorem are given. In particular, the author constructs the Schubert calculus in an arbitrary \(\mathbb C\)-oriented cohomology theory.
