Twisted complex $K$-theory can be defined for a space $X$ equipped with a bundle of complex projective spaces, or, equivalently, with a bundle of C$^*$-algebras. Up to equivalence, the twisting corresponds to an element of $H^3(X;\Z)$. We…
In a previous paper, we have constructed, for an arbitrary Lie group G and any of the fields F=R or C, a good equivariant cohomology theory KF_G^*(-) on the category of proper $G$-CW-complex and have justified why it deserved the label…
Generalized differential cohomology theories, in particular differential K-theory (often called "smooth K-theory"), are becoming an important tool in differential geometry and in mathematical physics. In this survey, we describe the…
We introduce a global equivariant refinement of algebraic K-theory; here `global equivariant' refers to simultaneous and compatible actions of all finite groups. Our construction turns a specific kind of categorical input data into a global…
We introduce a version of algebraic $K$-theory for coefficient systems of rings which is valued in genuine $G$-spectra for a finite group $G$. We use this construction to build a genuine $G$-spectrum $K_G(\mathbb{Z}[\underline{\pi_1(X)}])$…
Equivariant cohomology is a mathematical framework particularly well adapted to a kinematical understanding of topological gauge theories of the cohomological type. It also sheds some light on gauge fixing, a necessary field theory…
We interpret certain equivariant Kasparov groups as equivariant representable K-theory groups. We compute these groups via a classifying space and as K-theory groups of suitable sigma-C*-algebras. We also relate equivariant vector bundles…
Quasi-elliptic cohomology is a variant of Tate K-theory. It is the orbifold K-theory of a space of constant loops. For global quotient orbifolds, it can be expressed in terms of equivariant K-theories. In this paper we show how this theory…

Computation of the K- and KO-theory for the classifying G-spaces for proper actions of certain infinite discrete groups G via a special version of the equivariant Atiyah- Hirzebruch spectral sequence.
We apply results of Harada, Holm and Henriques to prove that the Atiyah-Segal equivariant complex $K$-theory ring of a divisive weighted projective space (which is singular for nontrivial weights) is isomorphic to the ring of integral…
Let G be a compact connected Lie group, and (M,\omega) a Hamiltonian G-space with proper moment map \mu. We give a surjectivity result which expresses the K-theory of the symplectic quotient M//G in terms of the equivariant K-theory of the…
We present an Eilenberg-Steenrod-like axiomatic framework for equivariant coarse homology and cohomology theories. We also discuss a general construction of such coarse theories from topological ones and the associated transgression maps. A…
We compute the equivariant K-theory with integer coefficients of an equivariantly formal isotropy action, subject to natural hypotheses which cover the three major classes of known examples. The proof proceeds by constructing a map of…
In this paper we study a natural decomposition of $G$-equivariant $K$-theory of a proper $G$-space, when $G$ is a Lie group with a compact normal subgroup $A$ acting trivially. Our decomposition could be understood as a generalization of…
We give a general formula for the equivariant complex $K$-theory $K_G^*(V)$ of a finite dimensional real linear space $V$ equipped with a linear action of a compact group $G$ in terms of the representation theory of a certain double cover…
This article is the first of two where we investigate to what extent homotopy invariant, excisive and matrix stable homology theories help one distinguish between the Leavitt path algebras $L(E)$ and $L(F)$ of graphs $E$ and $F$ over a…
In equivariant geometry, a localization (a.k.a., concentration) theorem is typically interpreted as a relationship between the equivariant geometry of a space with a group action and the geometry of its fixed locus. We take a different…
Recent advances in computational techniques for $K$-theory allow us to describe the $K$-theory of toric varieties in terms of the $K$-theory of fields and simple cohomological data.
A group equivariant $KK$-theory for rings will be defined and studied in analogy to Kasparov's $KK$-theory for $C^*$-algebras. It is a kind of linearization of the category of rings by allowing addition of homomorphisms, imposing also…
