Categorical proof of Holomorphic Atiyah-Bott formula

Abstract

Given a symmetric monoidal (∞,2)-category E we promote the trace construction to a functor. We then apply this formalism to the case when E is the (∞,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).
