On spectral triples on crossed products arising from equicontinuous actions

Operator Algebras 2015-08-28 v4

Abstract

The external Kasparov product is used to construct odd and even spectral triples on crossed products of CC^*-algebras by actions of discrete groups which are equicontinuous in a natural sense. When the group in question is Z\Z this gives another viewpoint on the spectral triples introduced by Belissard, Marcolli and Reihani. We investigate the properties of this construction and apply it to produce spectral triples on the Bunce-Deddens algebra arising from the odometer action on the Cantor set and some other crossed products of AF-algebras.
