Abstract

Given a spectral triple on a unital CC^{*}-algebra AA and an equicontinuous action of a discrete group GG on AA, a spectral triple on the reduced crossed product CC^{*}-algebra ArGA\rtimes_r G was constructed by Hawkins, Skalski, White and Zacharias in [On spectral triples on crossed products arising from equicontinuous actions, Math. Scand. 113(2) (2013) 262-291], extending the construction by Belissard, Marcolli and Reihani in [Dynamical systems on spectral metric spaces, preprint (2010), arXiv:1008.4617], by using the Kasparov product to make an ansatz for the Dirac operator. Supposing that the triple on AA is equivariant for an action of GG, we show that the triple on ArGA\rtimes_r G is equivariant for the dual coaction of GG. If moreover an equivariant real structure JJ is given for the triple on AA, we give constructions for two inequivalent real structures on the triple ArGA\rtimes_rG. We compute the KO-dimension with respect to each real structure in terms of the KO-dimension of JJ and show that the first and the second order conditions are preserved. Lastly, we characterise an equivariant orientation cycle on the triple on ArGA\rtimes_rG coming from an equivariant orientation cycle on the triple on AA. We show, along the paper, that our constructions generalize the respective constructions of the equivariant spectral triple on the noncommutative 22-torus.
