9 D ec 2 00 5 Equivariant K - theory of compactifications of algebraic groups
نویسنده
چکیده
In this article we describe the G×G-equivariant K-ring of X, where X is a regular compactification of a connected complex reductive algebraic group G. Furthermore, in the case when G is a semisimple group of adjoint type, and X its wonderful compactification, we describe its ordinary K-ring K(X). More precisely, we prove that K(X) is a free module over K(G/B) of rank the cardinality of the Weyl group. We further give an explicit basis of K(X) over K(G/B), and also determine the structure constants with respect to this basis.

We study an equivariant co-assembly map that is dual to the usual Baum–Connes assembly map and closely related to coarse geometry, equivariant Kasparov theory, and the existence of dual Dirac morphisms. As applications, we prove the existence of dual Dirac morphisms for groups with suitable compactifications, that is, satisfying the Carlsson–Pedersen condition, and we study a K–theoretic counte...

We prove an equivariant version of the fact that word-hyperbolic groups have finite asymptotic dimension. This is important in connection with our forthcoming proof of the Farrell-Jones conjecture for K∗(RG) for every word-hyperbolic group G and every coefficient ring R.

متن کاملEquivariant cohomology and equivariant intersection theory
This text is an introduction to equivariant cohomology, a classical tool for topological transformation groups, and to equivariant intersection theory, a much more recent topic initiated by D. Edidin and W. Graham. It is based on lectures given at Montréal is Summer 1997. Our main aim is to obtain explicit descriptions of cohomology or Chow rings of certain manifolds with group actions which ar...
متن کاملGeometry of equivariant compactifications of Ga
In this paper we begin a systematic study of equivariant compactifications of Ga . The question of classifying non-equivariant compactifications was raised by F. Hirzebruch ([10]) and has attracted considerable attention since (see [5], [15], [12] and the references therein). While there are classification results for surfaces and non-singular threefolds with small Picard groups, the general pe...
