For every $m\in\mathbb Z$, let $H^j_{b,m}(X,E)$ be the $m$-th $S^1$ Fourier coefficient of the $j$-th $\ddbar_b$ Kohn-Rossi cohomology group with values in $E$. In this paper, we prove that the Euler characteristic $\sum\limits^n_{j=0}(-1)^j{\rm dim}H^j_{b,m}(X,E)$ can be computed in terms of the tangential Chern character of $E$, the tangential Todd class of $T^{1,0}X$, and the Chern polynomial of the Levi curvature of $X$. As applications, we can produce many CR functions on a weakly pseudoconvex CR manifold with such an $S^1$ action and many CR sections on some class of CR manifolds. In some cases, we can reinterpret Kawasaki's Hirzebruch-Riemann-Roch formula for a complex orbifold with an orbifold holomorphic line bundle by an integral over a smooth CR manifold.

Our first main result establishes an asymptotic expansion for the heat kernel of such an operator with values in its Fourier components, which involves an unprecedented contribution in terms of a distance function from lower dimensional strata of the $S^1$-action. Our second main result computes a local index density, in terms of \emph{tangential} characteristic forms, on such manifolds including \emph{Sasakian manifolds} of interest in String Theory, by showing that the non-trivial contributions from strata in the heat kernel expansion will eventually cancel out by applying Getzler's rescaling technique to off-diagonal estimates. This leads to a local index theorem on these CR manifolds. As applications of our CR index theorem we can prove a CR version of Grauert-Riemenschneid...
