Atiyah-Singer index theorem
The Index of Elliptic Operators, I
Atiyah and Singer, 1968.
This paper gives a proof of the Atiyah-Singer index using K-theory.
The Index of Elliptic Operators: II
Michael Atiyah, Graeme Segal, 1968.
This reformulates the result as a sort of Lefschetz fixed point theorem, using equivariant K-theory. This makes it more challenging on first approach.
