Abstract:
We prove a twining character formula of Borel-Weil-Bott type for a connected, simply connected, simple affine algebraic group $G$ over $\Bbb C$, by combining a Lefschetz type fixed point formula for the flag variety $G/B$ and a Kostant type twining character formula for the complex simple Lie algebra $\frak g$ of $G$. Our proof is analogous to the well-known "geometric" proof of the Weyl character formula for finite-dimensional irreducible $G$-modules.
