Abstract

We develop an equivariant Dixmier-Douady theory for locally trivial bundles of CC^*-algebras with fibre DKD \otimes \mathbb{K} equipped with a fibrewise T\mathbb{T}-action, where T\mathbb{T} denotes the circle group and D=End(V)D = \operatorname{End}\left(V\right)^{\otimes \infty} for a T\mathbb{T}-representation VV. In particular, we show that the group of T\mathbb{T}-equivariant *-automorphisms AutT(DK)\operatorname{Aut}_{\mathbb{T}}(D \otimes \mathbb{K}) is an infinite loop space giving rise to a cohomology theory ED,T(X)E^*_{D,\mathbb{T}}(X). Isomorphism classes of equivariant bundles then form a group with respect to the fibrewise tensor product that is isomorphic to ED,T1(X)[X,BAutT(DK)]E^1_{D,\mathbb{T}}(X) \cong [X, B\operatorname{Aut}_{\mathbb{T}}(D \otimes \mathbb{K})]. We compute this group for tori and compare the case D=CD = \mathbb{C} to the equivariant Brauer group for trivial actions on the base space.
