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).

Generalized Quaternion

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.

The infinite symmetric group is the discrete group of all finite permutations of the set X of all natural numbers. Among discrete groups, it has distinctive features from the viewpoint of representation theory and harmonic analysis. First, it is one of the most typical ICC-groups as well as free groups and known to be a group of non-type I. Secondly, it is a locally finite group, namely, the inductive limit of usual symmetric groups . Furthermore it is contained in infinite dimensional classical groups GL(ξ), O(ξ) and U(ξ) and their representation theories are related each other.

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.
