Local Index Formulae on Noncommutative Orbifolds and Equivariant Zeta Functions for the Affine Metaplectic Group

We consider the algebra $A$ of bounded operators on $L^2(\mathbb{R}^n)$ generated by quantizations of isometric affine canonical transformations. The algebra $A$ includes as subalgebras all noncommutative tori and toric orbifolds. We define the spectral triple $(A, H, D)$ with $H=L^2(\mathbb R^n, Λ(\mathbb R^n))$ and the Euler operator $D$, a first order differential operator of index $1$. We show that this spectral triple has simple dimension spectrum: For every operator $B$ in the algebra $Ψ(A,H,D)$ generated by the Shubin type pseudodifferential operators and the elements of $A$, the zeta function $ζ_B(z) = {\rm Tr} (B|D|^{-2z})$ has a meromorphic extension to $\mathbb C$ with at most simple poles. Our main result then is an explicit algebraic expression for the Connes-Moscovici cyclic cocycle. As a corollary we obtain local index formulae for noncommutative tori and toric orbifolds.
