In the Atiyah-Bott paper on their Lefschetz theorem for elliptic complexes, they give a very nice elementary example of the Lefschetz theorem for the Dolbeault complex, by considering the automorphism of 
\[ [z_0,\ldots, z_n] \mapsto [\gamma_0z_0, \ldots, \gamma_nz_n ] \]
in homogeneous coordinates, where the \(\gamma_i\) are distinct and nonzero complex numbers. This has \( (n+1) \) simple fixed points and applying the holomorphic Lefschetz theorem gives
\[ 1 = \sum_{i=0}^n \frac{\gamma_i^n}{\prod_{j\neq i} (\gamma_i-\gamma_j)}. \]
This is Example 2 on p. 460 of the second Atiyah-Bott paper. They go on to describe this as a “well known interpolation formula”. Continue reading
