Chern Character for Totally Disconnected Groups
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we construct a bivariant Chern character for the equivariant KK-theory of a totally disconnected group with values in bivariant equivariant cohomology in the sense of Baum and Schneider. We prove in particular that the complexified left hand side of the Baum-Connes conjecture for a totally disconnected group is isomorphic to cosheaf homology. Moreover, it is shown that our transformation extends the Chern character defined by Baum and Schneider for profinite groups.

Equivariant Local Cyclic Homology and the Equivariant Chern-Connes Character
We define and study equivariant analytic and local cyclic homology for smooth actions of totally disconnected groups on bornological algebras. Our approach contains equivariant entire cyclic cohomology in the sense of Klimek, Kondracki and Lesniewski as a special case and provides an equivariant extension of the local cyclic theory developped by Puschnigg. As a main result we construct a multip...

We study the phase structure of two dimensional pure lattice gauge theory with a Chern term. The symmetry groups are non-Abelian, finite and disconnected sub-groups of SU(3). Since the action is imaginary it introduces a rich phase structure compared to the originally trivial two dimensional pure gauge theory. The Z3 group is the center of these groups and the result shows that if we use one ...

We give a “limit-free formula” simplifying the computation of the topological entropy for topological automorphisms of totally disconnected locally compact groups. This result allows us to extend to our setting several basic properties of the topological entropy known for compact groups.
متن کاملA New Description of Equivariant Cohomology for Totally Disconnected Groups
We consider smooth actions of totally disconnected groups on simplicial complexes and compare different equivariant cohomology groups associated to such actions. Our main result is that the bivariant equivariant cohomology theory introduced by Baum and Schneider can be described using equivariant periodic cyclic homology. This provides a new approach to the construction of Baum and Schneider as...
متن کاملRepresentations of Locally Compact Totally Disconnected Groups
Let G be a locally compact totally disconnected group. Recall that every neighborhood of 1 in G contains a compact open subgroup. If G is assumed to be compact, then every neighborhood of 1 in G contains a compact open normal subgroup. On the other hand, it follows from properties of Lie groups that the group GL(n,C) has the property that there is some neighborhood of the identity which contain...
