Asymptotics of holomorphic torsion on orbifolds and an equivariant arithmetic Hilbert-Samuel theorem

Source abstract

We compute the $\log p$-part of the asymptotic expansion of the holomorphic torsion of the $p$-th power of a positive line bundle in terms of characteristic classes. This is done for orbifold and equivariant torsions. In the equivariant case the exponents in the expansion are less than or equal to the dimension of the fixed point set. We deduce a corresponding equivariant arithmetic Hilbert-Samuel theorem in Arakelov geometry.
