Given a weak Kac system with duality $(\mathcal{H},V,U)$ arising from regular $\mathrm{C}^{*}$-algebraic locally compact quantum group $(\mathcal{G},\Delta)$, a $\mathrm{C}^{*}$-algebra $A$, and a sufficiently well-behaved coaction…

We consider central simple $K$-algebras which happen to bedifferential graded $K$-algebras. Two such algebras $A$ and $B$are considered equivalent if there are bounded complexes of finite dimensional$K$-vector spaces $C_A$ and $C_B$ such…

Let $G$ be a compact quantum group. We show that given a $G$-equivariant $\mathrm{C}^*$-correspondence $E$, the Pimsner algebra $\mathcal{O}_E$ can be naturally made into a $G$-$\mathrm{C}^*$-algebra. We also provide sufficient conditions…

We show that a $KK$-equivalence between two unital $C^*$-algebras produces a correspondence between their DG categories of finitely generated projective modules which is a $\mathbf{K}_*$-equivalence, where $\mathbf{K}_*$ is Waldhausen's…

Suppose $\mathcal{G}$ is a second-countable locally compact Hausdorff \'{e}tale groupoid, $G$ is a discrete group containing a unital subsemigroup $P$, and $c:\mathcal{G}\rightarrow G$ is a continuous cocycle. We derive conditions on the…

A product system E over a semigroup P is a family of Hilbert spaces {E_s:s\in P} together with multiplications E_s \times E_t\to E_{st}. We view E as a unitary- valued cocycle on P, and consider twisted crossed products A \times_{\beta,E} P…

We introduce and study a $K$-theory of twisted bundles for associative algebras $A(\mathfrak g)$ of formal series with an infinite-Lie algebra coefficients over arbitrary compact topological spaces. Fibers of such bundles are given by…

We use Drinfeld style generators and relations to define an algebra $\mathfrak{U}_n$ which is a ``$q=0$'' version of the affine quantum group of $\mathfrak{gl}_n.$ We then use the convolution product on the equivariant $K$-theory of…

The $K$-groups of the crossed product of the rotation C*-algebra $A_\theta$ by free and amalgamated products of the cyclic groups $\mathbb Z_n$, for $n=2,3,4,6$, are calculated. The actions here arise from the canonical actions of these…

Let $G=\mathrm{SL}(3,\mathbb{C})$. We construct an element of $G$-equivariant $K$-homology from the Bernstein-Gelfand-Gelfand complex for $G$. This furnishes an explicit splitting of the restriction map from the Kasparov representation ring…

The external Kasparov product is used to construct odd and even spectral triples on crossed products of $C^*$-algebras by actions of discrete groups which are equicontinuous in a natural sense. When the group in question is $\Z$ this gives…

This paper constitutes a first step in the author's program to investigate the question of when a homotopy of 2-cocycles $\omega = \{\omega_t\}_{t \in [0,1]}$ on a locally compact Hausdorff groupoid $\mathcal{G}$ induces an isomorphism of…

Let G=SU(2) and let \Omega G denote the space of continuous based loops in G, equipped with the pointwise conjugation action of G. It is a classical fact in topology that the ordinary cohomology H^*(\Omega G) is a divided polynomial algebra…

We construct uncountably many mutually nonisomorphic simple separable stably finite unital exact C$^\ast$-algebras which are not isomorphic to their opposite algebras. In particular, we prove that there are uncountably many possibilities…

These notes are based on a lecture course given by the first author in the Sedano Winter School on K-theory held in Sedano, Spain, on January 22-27th of 2007. They aim at introducing K-theory of C^*-algebras, equivariant K-homology and…

Alain Connes and Nigel Higson pointed out in the 1990s that the Connes-Kasparov "conjecture"' for the K-theory of reduced groupe $C^\ast$-algebras seemed, in the case of reductive Lie groups, to be a cohomological echo of a conjecture of…

In this paper we define complex equivariant K-theory for actions of Lie groupoids using finite-dimensional vector bundles. For a Bredon-compatible Lie groupoid, this defines a periodic cohomology theory on the category of finite equivariant…

We construct the crossed product of a C(X)-algebra by an endomorphism, in such a way that the endomorphism itself becomes induced by the bimodule of continuous sections of a vector bundle. Some motivating examples for such a construction…

We show that the E-theory of Connes and Higson can be formulated in terms of C*-extensions in a way quite similar to the way in which the KK-theory of Kasparov can. The essential difference is that the role played by split extensions should…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $H$ a normal subgroup. $D(H;G)$ is the crossed product of $C(H)$ and ${\Bbb C}G$ which is only a subalgebra of $D(G)$, the quantum double of $G$. One can construct a $C^*$-subalgebra ${\mathcal{F}}_{_H}$ of the…
