On the Baum–Connes Conjecture for Groups Acting on CAT(0)-Cubical Spaces

We give a new proof of the Baum–Connes conjecture with coefficients for any second countable, locally compact topological group that acts properly and cocompactly on a finite-dimensional CAT(0)-cubical space with bounded geometry. The proof uses the Julg–Valette complex of a CAT(0)-cubical space introduced by the 1st three authors and the direct splitting method in Kasparov theory developed by the last author.

Cyclic cohomology and Baaj-Skandalis duality

We construct a duality isomorphism in equivariant periodic cyclic homology analogous to Baaj-Skandalis duality in equivariant Kasparov theory. As a consequence we obtain general versions of the Green-Julg theorem and the dual Green-Julg theorem in periodic cyclic theory.Throughout we work within the framework of bornological quantum groups, thus in particular incorporating at the same time actions of arbitrary classical Lie groups as well as actions of compact or discrete quantum groups. An important ingredient in the construction of our duality isomorphism is the notion of a modular pair for a bornological quantum group, closely related to the concept introduced by Connes and Moscovici in their work on cyclic cohomology for Hopf algebras.

C*-Algebras over Topological Spaces: Filtrated K-Theory

We define the filtrated K-theory of a C*-algebra over a finite topological spaceXand explain how to construct a spectral sequence that computes the bivariant Kasparov theory overXin terms of filtrated K-theory.For finite spaces with a totally ordered lattice of open subsets, this spectral sequence becomes an exact sequence as in the Universal Coefficient Theorem, with the same consequences for classification. We also exhibit an example where filtrated K-theory is not yet a complete invariant. We describe two C*-algebras over a spaceXwith four points that have isomorphic filtrated K-theory without being KK(X)-equivalent. For this spaceX, we enrich filtrated K-theory by another K-theory functor to a complete invariant up to KK(X)-equivalence that satisfies a Universal Coefficient Theorem.
