Abstract

Kawasaki's formula is a tool to compute holomorphic Euler characteristics of vector bundles on a compact orbifold X. Let X be an orbispace with perfect obstruction theory which admits an embedding in a smooth orbifold. One can then construct the virtual structure sheaf and the virtual fundamental class of X. In this paper we prove that Kawasaki's formula behaves well " with working virtually" on X in the following sense: if we replace the structure sheaves, tangent and normal bundles in the formula by their virtual counterparts then Kawasaki's formula stays true. Our motivation comes from studying the quantum K-theory of a complex manifold X, with the formula applied to Kontsevich' moduli spaces of genus 0 stable maps to X.
