K-duality for pseudomanifolds with isolated singularities

Operator Algebras 2007-05-23 v3 K-Theory and Homology

Abstract

We associate to a pseudomanifold XX with isolated singularities a differentiable groupoid GG which plays the role of the tangent space of XX. We construct a Dirac element DD and a Dual Dirac element λ\lambda such that DD and λ\lambda induce a Poincar{\'e} duality in KK-theory between the CC^*-algebras C(X)C(X) and C(G)C^*(G).
