Abstract

We consider representations of the Cuntz algebras ON{\mathcal O}_N as constructed by Bratteli-Jorgensen and use these to define a faithful action of the analytic loop group LanU(n)L_{\text{an}}U(n) on ON{\mathcal O}_N for NnN \geq n. This extends to a faithful action on the infinite Cuntz algebra O{\mathcal O}_{\infty}, and we show that this action can be used to explicitly construct OK{\mathcal O}_\infty \otimes \mathcal K-bundles (where K \mathcal K is the algebra of compact operators) over spaces, which are geometric twists in higher twisted KK-theory.

Fatal error in the definition of the action. The authors thank R. Conti for pointing this out
