Categorical proof of Holomorphic Atiyah-Bott formula
Abstract
Given a symmetric monoidal $(\infty,2)$-category $\mathscr E$ we promote the trace construction to a functor. We then apply this formalism to the case when $\mathscr{E}$ is the $(\infty,2)$-category of $k$-linear presentable categories which in combination of various calculations in the setting of derived algebraic geometry gives a categorical proof of the classical Atiyah-Bott formula (also known as the Holomorphic Lefschetz fixed point formula).
