In recent work, Higson and Yi developed a new perspective on Getzler’s symbol calculus, reinterpreting the latter in terms of a convolution algebra of sections of a multiplicative vector bundle over the tangent groupoid of a spin manifold. In joint work with S. Liu, Y. Loizides, and A.R.H.S. Sadegh we generalize the construction in two directions; to the equivariant setting, and to the adiabatic groupoid of any Lie groupoid. We discuss applications including an equivariant longitudinal local index theorem for Lie groupoids with a closed space of units.
