 | | Earlier on, Atiyah and Hirzebruch [2] had used pushforwards in equivariant K-* *theory to prove the rigidity of the A^-genus for spin manifolds. |
 | | In the case when Y is a point, fE!(1) is* * the S1- equivariant elliptic genus of X. Proof.Recall (Dyer [7]) that the ordinary pushforward is defined as the composi* *tion of three maps, two of which are Thom isomorphisms, and the third is a natural one. |
 | | The Grojnowski pushforward ßE!, if we consider it at the level of stalks at 0 2* * E, is nothing but the elliptic pushforward in HO*S1-theory, as described in Corollary 4.4. |
