On the Twisted K-Homology of Simple Lie Groups

Algebraic Topology 2008-03-19 v4 K-Theory and Homology

Abstract

We prove that the twisted K-homology of a simply connected simple Lie group G of rank n is an exterior algebra on n-1 generators tensor a cyclic group. We give a detailed description of the order of this cyclic group in terms of the dimensions of irreducible representations of G and show that the congruences determining this cyclic order lift along the twisted index map to relations in the twisted Spin-c bordism group of G.
