Chern Character, Hopf Algebras, and Brs Cohomology

چکیده
We present the construction of a Chern character in cyclic cohomology, involving an arbitrary number of associative algebras in contravariant or covariant position. This is a generalization of the bivariant Chern character for bornological algebras introduced in a previous paper [35], based on Quillen superconnections and heat-kernel regularization. Then we adapt the formalism to the cyclic cohomology of Hopf algebras in the sense of Connes-Moscovici [12]. This yields a Chern character for “equivariant Kcycles” over a bornological algebra A, generalizing the Connes-Moscovici characteristic maps. In the case of equivariant spectral triples verifying some additional conditions, we also exhibit secondary characteristic classes. The latter are not related to topology but rather define characteristic maps for the higher algebraic K-theory of A. In the classical case of spin manifolds, we compute and interpret these secondary classes in terms of BRS cohomology in Quantum Field Theory.

Cyclic cohomology of Hopf algebras, and a non-commutative Chern-Weil theory
We give a construction of Connes-Moscovici’s cyclic cohomology for any Hopf algebra equipped with a character. Furthermore, we introduce a non-commutative Weil complex, which connects the work of Gelfand and Smirnov with cyclic cohomology. We show how the Weil complex arises naturally when looking at Hopf algebra actions and invariant higher traces, to give a non-commutative version of the usua...

متن کاملHopf Algebra Equivariant Cyclic Cohomology, K-theory and Index Formulas
For an algebra B with an action of a Hopf algebra H we establish the pairing between equivariant cyclic cohomology and equivariant K-theory for B. We then extend this formalism to compact quantum group actions and show that equivariant cyclic cohomology is a target space for the equivariant Chern character of equivariant summable Fredholm modules. We prove an analogue of Julg’s theorem relating...
متن کاملOn the Cyclic Cohomology of Extended Hopf Algebras
We introduce the concept of extended Hopf algebras and define their cyclic cohomology in the spirit of Connes-Moscovici cyclic cohomology for Hopf algebras. Extended Hopf algebras are closely related to, but different from, Hopf algebroids. Their definition is motivated by attempting to define a cyclic cohomology theory for Hopf algebroids in general. We show that many of Hopf algebraic structu...
