Gysin sequences and SU(2)-symmetries of C*-algebras

Hecke operators in KK-theory and the K-homology of Bianchi groups

Let $Γ$ be a torsion-free arithmetic group acting on its associated global symmetric space $X$. Assume that $X$ is of non-compact type and let $Γ$ act on the geodesic boundary $\partial X$ of $X$. Via general constructions in KK-theory, we endow the K-groups of the arithmetic manifold $X/Γ$, of the reduced group C*-algebra of $Γ$ and of the boundary crossed product algebra associated to the action of $Γ$ on $\partial X$, with Hecke operators. The K-theory and K-homology groups of these C*-algebras are related by a Gysin six-term exact sequence. In the case when $Γ$ is a group of real hyperboli…

K-Theory for Real C*-algebras via Unitary Elements with Symmetries

We prove that all eight KO groups for a real C*-algebra can be constructed from homotopy classes of unitary matrices that respect a variety of symmetries. In this manifestation of the KO groups, all eight boundary maps in the 24-term exact sequence associated to an ideal in a real C*-algebra can be computed as exponential or index maps with formulas that are nearly identical to the complex case.

Non-Hausdorff Symmetries of C*-algebras

Symmetry groups or groupoids of C*-algebras associated to non-Hausdorff spaces are often non-Hausdorff as well. We describe such symmetries using crossed modules of groupoids. We define actions of crossed modules on C*-algebras and crossed products for such actions, and justify these definitions with some basic general results and examples.

Anomalous symmetries of classifiable C*-algebras

We study the $H^3$ invariant of a group homomorphism $ϕ:G \rightarrow \mathrm{Out}(A)$, where $A$ is a classifiable C$^*$-algebra. We show the existence of an obstruction to possible $H^3$ invariants arising from considering the unitary algebraic $K_1$ group. In particular, we prove that when $A$ is the Jiang--Su algebra $\mathcal{Z}$ this invariant must vanish. We deduce that the unitary fusion categories $\mathrm{Hilb}(G, ω)$ for non-trivial $ω\in H^3(G, \mathbb{T})$ cannot act on $\mathcal{Z}$.

Weak Hopf algebra symmetries of C^*-algebra inclusions

After a summary on module algebra actions of C^*-weak Hopf algebras we outline the proof of a reconstruction theorem stating that every finite index depth 2 inclusion N < M of unital C^*-algebras with finite dimensional centers is isomorphic to the invariant subalgebra inclusion M^A < M with respect to a regular weak Hopf algebra action. The proof uses the language of C^*-2-categories.
