Definition of the homological Chern character

I like this question! I think this problem (the Chern character of K-homology) has been studied and solved by Alain Connes in his paper "Noncommutative differential geometry" in 1985. He indeed used c …

Is there any computation of $K^0(X)$ and $K_0(X)$ for a singular curve $X$?

Let $X$ be a projective curve over an algebraic closed field $k$ which characteristic zero. Define $K^0(X)$ as the Grothendieck group of the derived category $Perf(X)$ and $K_0(X)$ as the Grothendieck …

Do we have the following "devissage commutative diagram" in K-theory?

Let $X$ be a non-reduced Noetherian scheme. We define $K^0(X)$ to be the Grothendieck group of the derived category $Perf(X)$ and $K_0(X)$ to be the Grothendieck group of the derived category $D^b_{c …

Is there a categorification of topological K-theory?

For a compact Hausdorff topological space $X$, its K-theory $K^0(X)$ is defined to be the Grothendieck group of the isomorphism classes of finite dimensional vector spaces on $X$. For example $K^0(\te …

Does a fully faithful functor between triangulated categories induce embedding of their Grot...

Let $\mathcal{A}$, $\mathcal{B}$ be two triangulated categories and $F: \mathcal{A}\to \mathcal{B}$ be a triangulated functor between them. Then $F$ induces an homomorphism between their Grothendieck …

What is the role of $\sum (-1)^p[\wedge^pT^*M]$ in the K-theory $K(M)$

I apologize for the vague title. Let $M$ be a compact smooth manifold, then we have $T^*M$ and hence $\wedge^pT^*M$ as vector bundles on $M$. There for we have $$ \sum (-1)^p[\wedge^pT^*M] \in K(M). …

Kasparov's Dirac element and the index map

In Kasparov's 1988 paper Equivariant KK-theory and the Novikov conjecture section 4 he defined the Dirac element for a (non-spin) $G$- Riemanian manifold $X$ as an element in the $K$-homology $K^0_G(C …

Equivariant K-theory of $S^1$-action on $S^2$

Is there any references for the structure of the equivariant K-theory $K_{S^1}(S^2)$ where the action of $S^1$ on $S^2$ is defined to be rotation about the $z$-axis? What is the ring structore of $K_{ …

Could we extend the exact sequence $K^0(X)\to K_0(X)\to K_0(D_{sg}(X))\to 0$ to the left?

Let $X$ be a variety over a field $k$. We have the bounded derived category of coherent sheaves $D^b_{coh}(X)$ and the derived category of perfect complex $Perf(X)$. It is clear that $Perf(X)$ is a s …

Does there exist a GRR-like generalization of the AS Index Theorem?

I'm sorry for the self-citation. But your question is largely answered in the monograph Coherent Sheaves, Superconnections, and Riemann-Roch-Grothendieck, or the arxiv version, joint work of Jean-Mich …

The proof of the splitting principle in equivariant K-theory via flag manifolds

In Atiyah's famous paper "Bott periodicity and the index of elliptic operators" section 4, he proved the splitting principle for unitary groups (Propostion 4.9 in that paper), namely: Let $j: T\righ …

Is there any "deep" relation between the localization theorem of equivariant cohomology and ...

First let's consider equivariant cohomology: if a compact Lie group $G$ acts on a compact manifold $M$. We have the equivariant cohomology $ H_G(M)$ defined as the cohomology of the cochain complex $( …
