The Grothendieck-Riemann-Roch theorem for group scheme actions
Let G be a group or a group scheme. We establish formulas for the equivariant Euler characteristic of locally free G-modules on a projective G-scheme X: We prove an Adams- Riemann-Roch theorem and, under a certain continuity assumption for the push-forward map, a Grothendieck-Riemann- Roch theorem in (higher) equivariant algebraic K-theory. Furthermore, we present the following applications: The Adams-Riemann-Roch theorem specializes to an interchanging rule between Adams operations and induction for representations. In case of a flag variety G/B, the above continuity assumption is verified, and the Grothendieck-Riemann-Roch theorem for this situation yields a new proof of the Weyl character formula.

Abstract

Let G be a group or a group scheme. We establish formulas for the equivariant Euler characteristic of locally free G-modules on a projective G-scheme X: We prove an Adams- Riemann-Roch theorem and, under a certain continuity assumption for the push-forward map, a Grothendieck-Riemann- Roch theorem in (higher) equivariant algebraic K-theory. Furthermore, we present the following applications: The Adams-Riemann-Roch theorem specializes to an interchanging rule between Adams operations and induction for representations. In case of a flag variety G/B, the above continuity assumption is verified, and the Grothendieck-Riemann-Roch theorem for this situation yields a new proof of the Weyl character formula.

Soit G un groupe ou un schema en groupes. Nous etablissons des formules pour la caracteristique Eulerienne equivariante pour les G-modules localement libres sur un G-schema projectif : nous prouvens le theoreme de Adams-Riemann-Roch et, sous l'hypothese d'une certaine continuite pour l'application image directe, le theoreme de Grothendieck-Riemann-Roch en K-theorie equivariante (superieure). De plus, nous presentons les applications suivantes : le theoreme de Adams-Riemann-Roch implique que les operations de Adams et l'induction pour les representations commutent. Dans le cas d'une variete G/B de drapeaux, l'hypothese de continuite mentionnee ci-dessus est verifiee et le theoreme de Grothendieck-Riemann-Roch apporte alors une nouvelle demonstration de la formule des caracteres de Weyl.
