Abstract

For a compact simply connected simple Lie group GG with an involution α\alpha, we compute the GZ/2G\rtimes \Z/2-equivariant K-theory of GG where GG acts by conjugation and Z/2\Z/2 acts either by α\alpha or by gα(g)1g\mapsto \alpha(g)^{-1}. We also give a representation-theoretic interpretation of those groups, as well as of KG(G)K_G(G).
