Abstract

Given a $2$-commutative diagram

in a symmetric monoidal $(\infty ,2)$-category $\mathscr{E}$ where $X,Y\in \mathscr{E}$ are dualizable objects and $\unicode[STIX]{x1D711}$ admits a right adjoint we construct a natural morphism $\mathsf{Tr}_{\mathscr{E}}(F_{X})\xrightarrow[{}]{~~~~~}\mathsf{Tr}_{\mathscr{E}}(F_{Y})$ between the traces of $F_{X}$ and $F_{Y}$, respectively. 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).
