Equivariant K-Theory of Simply Connected Lie Groups

چکیده
We compute the equivariant K-theory K∗ G(G) for a simply connected Lie group G (acting on itself by conjugation). We prove that K∗ G(G) is isomorphic to the algebra of Grothendieck differentials on the representation ring. We also study a special example of a nonsimply connected Lie group G, namely PSU(3), and compute the corresponding equivariant K-theory.

K-twisted Equivariant K-theory for Su(n)
We present a version of twisted equivariant K-theory-K-twisted equivariant K-theory, and use Grothendieck differentials to compute the K -twisted equivariant K-theory of simple simply connected Lie groups. We did the calculation explicitly for SU(N) explicitly. The basic idea is to interpret an equivariant gerbe as an element of equivariant K-theory of degree 1.
متن کاملEquivariant K-theory of Compact Lie Groups with Involution
For a compact simply connected simple Lie group G with an involution α, we compute theGoZ/2-equivariant K-theory of G where G acts by conjugation and Z/2 acts either by α or by g 7→ α(g)−1. We also give a representation-theoretic interpretation of those groups, as well as of KG(G).
متن کاملThe ring structure for equivariant twisted K-theory
We prove, under some mild conditions, that the equivariant twisted K-theory group of a crossed module admits a ring structure if the twisting 2-cocycle is 2multiplicative. We also give an explicit construction of the transgression map T1 : H ∗(Γ • ;A) → H((N ⋊ Γ) • ;A) for any crossed module N → Γ and prove that any element in the image is ∞-multiplicative. As a consequence, we prove that, unde...
متن کاملOn the homotopy invariance of string topology
Let M be a closed, oriented, n-manifold, and LM its free loop space. In [C-S1] a commutative algebra structure in homology, H∗(LM), and a Lie algebra structure in equivariant homology H 1 ∗ (LM), were defined. In this paper we prove that these structures are homotopy invariant for simply connected manifolds in the following sense. Let f : M1 → M2 be a homotopy equivalence of simply connected cl...
متن کاملTwisted K–Theory of Lie Groups
I determine the twisted K–theory of all compact simply connected simple Lie groups. The computation reduces via the Freed–Hopkins–Teleman theorem [?] to the CFT prescription, and thus explains why it gives the correct result. Finally I analyze the exceptions noted by Bouwknegt et al [?].
