We compute the $RO(A)$-graded coefficients of $A$-equivariant complex and real topological $K$-theory for $A$ a finite elementary abelian $2$-group, together with all products, transfers, restrictions, power operations, and Adams…

We define and study the index map for families of $G$-transversally elliptic operators and introduce the multiplicity for a given irreducible representation as a virtual bundle over the base of the fibration. We then prove the usual…

We give a proof of the cobordism invariance of the index of elliptic pseudodifferential operators on sigma-compact manifolds, where, in the non-compact case, the operators are assumed to be multiplication outside a compact set. We show…

For any Lie groupoid we construct an analytic index morphism taking values in a modified $K-theory$ group which involves the convolution algebra of compactly supported smooth functions over the groupoid. The construction is performed by…

The spectral eta-invariant of a self-adjoint elliptic differential operator on a closed manifold is rigid, provided that the parity of the order is opposite to the parity of dimension of the manifold. The paper deals with the calculation of…

Regular algebraic $K$-theory for groups is a homology theory for discrete groups closely connected (but different from) group homology. It also gives a version of algebraic $K$-theory for rings by the simple functorial mapping assigning to…

We introduce and study the index morphism for G-invariant leafwise G-transversally elliptic operators on smooth closed foliated manifolds which are endowed with leafwise actions of the compact group G. We prove the usual axioms of excision,…

These are notes from a talk at the 2010 Talbot Workshop on Twisted K-theory and Loop Groups. This particular talk is an overview of index theory from the point of view of topological K-theory. Assuming little background in analysis, but…

We prove the $K$-theoretic Farrell-Jones conjecture for groups as in the title with coefficient rings and $C^*$-algebras which are stable with respect to compact operators. We use this and Higson-Kasparov's result that the Baum-Connes…

This is an expository paper which gives a proof of the Atiyah-Singer index theorem for Dirac operators, presenting the theorem as a computation of the K-homology of a point. This paper and its follow up ("K-homology and index theory II:…

We develop a categorical index calculus for elliptic symbol families. The categorified index problems we consider are a secondary version of the traditional problem of expressing the index class in K-theory in terms of…

We consider generalised Dirac--Schr\"odinger operators, consisting of a self-adjoint elliptic first-order differential operator D with a skew-adjoint 'potential' given by a (suitable) family of unbounded operators. The index of such an…

This paper lays out the foundations of graded $K$-theory for Leavitt algebras associated with higher-rank graphs, also known as Kumjian-Pask algebras, establishing it as a potential tool for their classification. For a row-finite $k$-graph…

We show that the computation of the Fredholm index of a fully elliptic pseudodifferential operator on an integrated Lie manifold can be reduced to the computation of the index of a Dirac operator, perturbed by a smoothing operator,…

We demonstrate a method of associating the principal symbol at a $K$-point with a linear differential operator acting between modules over a commutative algebra, and we use it to define the ellipticity of a linear differential operator in a…

We show that in $K$-theory-like categories many corner embeddings into a discrete algebra of compact operators are invertible, and consequently functors on splitexact algebraic $KK$-theory are faithful if and only if they are faithful on…

We show that the hermitian K-theory space of a commutative ring R can be identified, up to A^1-homotopy, with the group completion of the groupoid of oriented finite Gorenstein R-algebras, i.e., finite locally free R-algebras with…

We develop a operator algebraic model for twisted $K$-theory, which includes the most general twistings as a generalized cohomology theory (i.e. all those classified by the unit spectrum $bgl_1(KU)$). Our model is based on strongly…

By introducing a notion of smooth connection for unbounded $KK$-cycles, we show that the Kasparov product of such cycles can be defined directly, by an algebraic formula. In order to achieve this it is necessary to develop a framework of…

We study closedness of the range, adjointability and generalized invertibility of modular operators between Hilbert modules over locally C*-algebras of coefficients. Our investigations and the recent results of M. Frank [Characterizing…
