Abstract

Any closed current on the base of a compact fibration gives rise to a cyclic cocycle on the smooth convolution algebra. We prove that such cocycle furnishes additive maps from the vertically equivariant K-theory to the scalars. This enables to associate to any closed current on the base of the fibration, a Lefschetz formula for fiber-preserving isometries. Using geometric operators on the base, we deduce the integrality of some characteristic numbers.
