Noncommutative Poincare duality for boundary actions of hyperbolic groups
For a large class of word hyperbolic groups G the cross product C^*-algebra arising from the action of G on its Gromov boundary is shown to satisfy Poincare duality in K-theory. This class strictly contains fundamental groups of compact, negatively curved manifolds. The Baum-Connes Conjecture for amenable groupoids is used in a crucial way.

Group bundle duality, invariants for certain C*-algebras, and twisted equivariant K-theory
A duality is discussed for Lie group bundles vs. certain tensor categories with non-simple identity, in the setting of Nistor-Troitsky gauge-equivariant K-theory. As an application, we study C*-algebra bundles with fibre a fixed-point algebra of the Cuntz algebra: a classification is given, and a cohomological invariant is assigned, representing the obstruction to perform an embedding into a continuous bundle of Cuntz algebras. Finally, we introduce the notion of twisted equivariant K-theory.

Poincare duality for Cuntz-Pimsner algebras of bimodules
We present a new approach to Poincare duality for Cuntz-Pimsner algebras. We provide sufficient conditions under which Poincare self-duality for the coefficient algebra of a Hilbert bimodule lifts to Poincare self-duality for the associated Cuntz-Pimsner algebra. With these conditions in hand, we can constructively produce fundamental classes in K-theory for a wide range of examples. We can also produce K-homology fundamental classes for the important examples of Cuntz-Krieger algebras (following Kaminker-Putnam) and crossed products of manifolds by isometries, and their non-commutative analog…

Positive Scalar Curvature and Poincare Duality for Proper Actions
For G an almost-connected Lie group, we study G-equivariant index theory for proper co-compact actions with various applications, including obstructions to and existence of G-invariant Riemannian metrics of positive scalar curvature. We prove a rigidity result for almost-complex manifolds, generalising Hattori's results, and an analogue of Petrie's conjecture. When G is an almost-connected Lie group or a discrete group, we establish Poincare duality between G-equivariant K-homology and K-theory, observing that Poincare duality does not necessarily hold for general G.

Poincare duality quivers
The purpose of this paper was to give an algebraic analog of Poincare duality. But there is a mistake in the proof of the main theorem. It will be corrected as soon as possible.

Poincare Duality and Spin^c Structures for Noncommutative Manifolds
We prove a noncompact Serre-Swan theorem characterising modules which are sections of vector bundles not necessarily trivial at infinity. We then identify the endomorphism algebras of the resulting modules. The endomorphism results continue to hold for the generalisation of these modules to noncommutative, nonunital algebras. Finally, we apply these results to not necessarily compact noncommutative spin manifolds, proving that Poincare Duality implies the Morita equivalence of the `algebra of functions' and the `Clifford algebra.'

Topological T-duality is twisted Atiyah duality
We show that the topological T-duality for circle bundles introduced in work of Bouwknegt-Evslin-Mathai can be interpreted as a form of Atiyah duality for twisted K-theory.

Twisted K-homology,Geometric cycles and T-duality
Twisted $K$-homology corresponds to $D$-branes in string theory. In this paper we compare two different models of geometric twisted $K$-homology and get their equivalence. Moreover, we give another description of geometric twisted $K$-homology using bundle gerbes. We establish some properties of geometric twisted $K$-homology. In the last part we construct $T$-duality isomorphism for geometric twisted $K$-homology.

The Baum-Connes conjecture, noncommutative Poincare duality and the boundary of the free Group
Every hyperbolic group acts continuously on its Gromov boundary. One can form the corresponding cross-product C*-algebra A. We show that there always exists a canonical Poincare duality map from the K-theory of A to the K-homology of A. We show that this map is an isomorphism when the group in question is the free group on two generators. There is a direct connection between our constructions and the Baum-Connes Conjecture, and we use the latter to deduce our result.

Twisted Poincare duality for some quadratic Poisson algebras
We exhibit a Poisson module restoring a twisted Poincare duality between Poisson homology and cohomology for the polynomial algebra R=C[X_1,...,X_n] endowed with Poisson bracket arising from a uniparametrised quantum affine space. This Poisson module is obtained as the semiclassical limit of the dualising bimodule for Hochschild homology of the corresponding quantum affine space. As a corollary we compute the Poisson cohomology of R, and so retrieve a result obtained by direct methods (so completely different from ours) by Monnier.

Uniform K-theory, and Poincare duality for uniform K-homology
We revisit Spakula's uniform K-homology, construct the external product for it and use this to deduce homotopy invariance of uniform K-homology. We define uniform K-theory and on manifolds of bounded geometry we give an interpretation of it via vector bundles of bounded geometry. We further construct a cap product with uniform K-homology and prove Poincare duality between uniform K-theory and uniform K-homology on spin-c manifolds of bounded geometry.

On the Chern character in Higher Twisted K-theory and spherical T-duality
In this paper, we construct for higher twists that arise from cohomotopy classes, the Chern character in higher twisted K-theory, that maps into higher twisted cohomology. We show that it gives rise to an isomorphism between higher twisted K-theory and higher twisted cohomology over the reals. Finally we compute spherical T-duality in higher twisted K-theory and higher twisted cohomology in very general cases.

Twisted crystallograpic T-duality via the Baum--Connes isomorphism
We establish the twisted crystallographic T-duality, which is an isomorphism between Freed-Moore twisted equivariant K-groups of the position and momentum tori associated to an extension of a crystallographic group. The proof is given by identifying the map with the Dirac homomorphism in twisted Chabert--Echterhoff KK-theory. We also illustrate how to exploit it in K-theory computations.

Periodic twisted cohomology and T-duality
The initial motivation of this work was to give a topological interpretation of two-periodic twisted de-Rham cohomology which is generalizable to arbitrary coefficients. To this end we develop a sheaf theory in the context of locally compact topological stacks with emphasis on the construction of the sheaf theory operations in unbounded derived categories, elements of Verdier duality and integration. The main result is the construction of a functorial periodization functor associated to a U(1)-gerbe. As applications we verify the $T$-duality isomorphism in periodic twisted cohomology and in pe…
