We determine the group structure of the homotopy set whose target is the automorphism group of the Cuntz algebra [Formula: see text] for finite [Formula: see text] in terms of K-theory. We show that there is an example of a space for which the homotopy set is a noncommutative group, and hence, the classifying space of the automorphism group of the Cuntz algebra for finite [Formula: see text] is not an H-space. We also make an improvement of Dadarlat’s classification of continuous fields of the Cuntz algebras in terms of vector bundles.

AbstractFor a 2-category 2C we associate a notion of a principal 2C-bundle. For the 2-category of 2-vector spaces, in the sense of M.M. Kapranov and V.A. Voevodsky, this gives the 2-vector bundles of N.A. Baas, B.I. Dundas and J. Rognes. Our main result says that the geometric nerve of a good 2-category is a classifying space for the associated principal 2-bundles. In the process of proving this we develop powerful machinery which may be useful in further studies of 2-categorical topology. As a corollary we get a new proof of the classification of principal bundles. Another 2-category of 2-vector spaces has been proposed by J.C. Baez and A.S. Crans. A calculation using our main theorem shows that in this case the theory of principal 2-bundles splits, up to concordance, as two copies of ordinary vector bundle theory. When 2C is a cobordism type 2-category we get a new notion of cobordism-bundles which turns out to be classified by the Madsen–Weiss spaces.

We show that the K-theory cosheaf is a complete invariant for separable continuous fields with vanishing boundary maps over a finite-dimensional compact metrizable topological space whose fibers are stable Kirchberg algebras with rational K-theory groups satisfying the universal coefficient theorem. We provide a range result for fields in this class with finite-dimensional K-theory. There are versions of both results for unital continuous fields.

AbstractThis paper presents, by example, an index theory appropriate to algebras without trace. Whilst we work exclusively with Cuntz algebras the exposition is designed to indicate how to develop a general theory. Our main result is an index theorem (formulated in terms of spectral flow) using a twisted cyclic cocycle where the twisting comes from the modular automorphism group for the canonical gauge action on each Cuntz algebra. We introduce a modified K1-group for each Cuntz algebra which has an index pairing with this twisted cocycle. This index pairing for Cuntz algebras has an interpretation in terms of Araki's notion of relative entropy.

We study the question of whether the Morava K-theory of the classifying space of an elementary abelian group V is a permutation module (in either of two distinct senses, defined below) for the automorphism group of V. We use Brauer characters and computer calculations. Our algorithm for finding permutation submodules of modules for p-groups may be of independent interest.

In this paper we shall determine KSO-groups for 4-dimensional CW-complexes by their cohomology rings. We denote by KSO(X) the group of orientable stable vector bundles over X. In 1959 A. Dold and H. Whitney [1] gave the classification of SO(n)-bundles over a 4-complex. It seems, however, to the authors that group structures of them are unknown. We shall give another definition of the difference bundles defined in [1], and we determine the group structure of KSO(X).

AbstractWe rework the Mori–Mukai classification of Fano 3-folds, by describing each of the 105 families via biregular models as zero loci of general global sections of homogeneous vector bundles over products of Grassmannians.

Let G be a simply connected, semi-simple, compact Lie group, let K* denote Z/2-graded, representable K-theory, and K* the corresponding homology theory. The K-theory of G and of its classifying space BG are well known, (8),(1). In contrast with ordinary cohomology, K*(G) and K*(BG) are torsion-free and have simple multiplicative structures. If ΩG denotes the space of loops on G, it seems natural to conjecture that K*(ΩG) should have, in some sense, a more simple structure than H*(ΩG).

For any fixed prime p and any non-negative integer n there is a 2(pn − 1)-periodic generalized cohomology theory K(n)*, the nth Morava K-theory. Let G be a finite group and BG its classifying space. For some time now it has been conjectured that K(n)*(BG) is concentrated in even dimensions. Standard transfer arguments show that a finite group enjoys this property whenever its p-Sylow subgroup does, so one is reduced to verifying the conjecture for p-groups. It is easy to see that it holds for abelian groups, and it has been proved for some non-abelian groups as well, namely groups of order p3 ([7]) and certain wreath products ([3], [2]). In this note we consider finite (non-abelian) 2-groups with maximal normal cyclic subgroup, i.e. dihedral, semidihedral, quasidihedral and generalized quaternion groups of order a power of two.

We employ results from KK-theory, along with quasidiagonality techniques, to obtain wide-ranging classification results for nuclear C*-algebras. Using a new realization of the Cuntz picture of the Kasparov groups we show that two morphisms inducing equal KK-elements are approximately stably unitarily equivalent. Using K-theory with coefficients to associate a partial KK-element to an approximate morphism, our result is generalized to cover such maps. Conversely, we study the problem of lifting a (positive) partial KK-element to an approximate morphism. These results are employed to obtain classification results for certain classes of quasidiagonal C*-algebras introduced by H. Lin, and to reprove the classification of purely infinite simple nuclear C*-algebras of Kirchberg and Phillips. It is our hope that this work can be the starting point of a unified approach to the classification of nuclear C*-algebras.2000 Mathematical Subject Classification: primary 46L35; secondary 19K14, 19K35, 46L80.

AbstractIn this paper, we construct the unique (up to isomorphism) extension algebra, denoted by E∞, of the Cuntz algebra 𝒪∞ by the C*-algebra of compact operators on a separable infinite-dimensional Hilbert space. We prove that two unital monomorphisms from E∞ to a unital purely infinite simple C*-algebra are approximately unitarily equivalent if and only if they induce the same homomorphisms in K-theory.
