Abstract: We generalise Atiyah and Hirzebruch's vanishing theorem for actions by compact groups on compact Spin-manifolds to possibly noncompact groups acting properly and cocompactly on possibly noncompact Spin-manifolds. As corollaries, we obtain some vanishing results for $hatA$-type genera.

Review text

The authors generalise Atiyah and Hirzebruch's \(\widehat{A}\) vanishing theorem for actions of compact groups on compact Spin--manifolds. With additional technical assumptions, they allow actions of non--compact groups on non--compact Spin--manifolds.
