Twisted equivariant

We use the spectral sequence developed by Graeme Segal in order to understand the Twisted G-Equivariant K-Theory for proper and discrete actions. We show that the second page of this spectral sequence is isomorphic to a version of Equivariant Bredon cohomology with local coefficients in twisted representations. We furthermore give an explicit description of the third differential of the spectral sequence, and we recover known results when the twisting comes from finite order elements in discrete torsion. 1 2 NOÉ BÁRCENAS, JESÚS ESPINOZA, BERNARDO URIBE, AND MARIO VELÁSQUEZ

Replaces Previous version. Includes comments on poincare duality for twisted equivariant in the context of proper and discrete actions and the Baum-Connes Conjecture. We use a spectral sequence proposed by C. Dwyer and previous work by Sanchez-Garcia and Soule to compute Twisted Equivariant K-theory groups of the classifying space for proper actions of Sl3(Z). After proving a Universal coefficient theorem in Bredon Cohomology with specific coefficients, we compute the twisted equivariant K-homology and state a relation to the Baum-Connes Conjecture with coefficients.

Twisted complex K-theory can be defined for a space X equipped with a bundle of complex projective spaces, or, equivalently, with a bundle of C * -algebras. Up to equivalence, the twisting corresponds to an element of H 3 (X; Z). We give a systematic account of the definition and basic properties of the twisted theory, emphasizing some points where it behaves differently from ordinary K-theory. (We omit, however, its relations to classical cohomology, which we shall treat in a sequel.) We develop an equivariant version of the theory for the action of a compact Lie group, proving that then the twistings are classified by the equivariant cohomology group H 3 G (X; Z). We also consider some basic examples of twisted K-theory classes, related to those appearing in the recent work of Freed-Hopkins-Teleman.

We compare different algebraic structures in twisted equivariant K-Theory for proper actions of discrete groups. After the construction of a module structure over untwisted equivariant K-Theory, we prove a comple- tion Theorem of Atiyah-Segal type for twisted equivariant K-Theory. Using a Universal coefficient Theorem, we prove a cocompletion Theorem for Twisted Borel K-Homology for discrete Groups.

Twisted K-theory has its origins in the author's PhD thesis [27] and in a paper with P. Donovan [19]. The objective of this paper is to revisit the subject in the light of new developments inspired by Mathematical Physics. See for instance E. Witten [42], J. Rosenberg [37], C. Laurent-Gentoux, J.-L. Tu, P. Xu [41] and M.F. Atiyah, G. Segal [8], among many authors. We also prove some new results in the subject: a Thom isomorphism, explicit computations in the equivariant case and new cohomology operations.

We explore the relations of twisted K-theory to twisted and untwisted classical cohomology. We construct an Atiyah-Hirzebruch spectral sequence, and describe its differentials rationally as Massey products. We define the twisted Chern character. We also discuss power operations in the twisted theory, and the role of the Koschorke classes.

We compare different algebraic structures in twisted equivariant K-Theory for proper actions of discrete groups. After the construction of a module structure over untwisted equivariant K-Theory, we prove a completion Theorem of Atiyah-Segal type for twisted equivariant K-Theory. Using a Universal coefficient Theorem, we prove a cocompletion Theorem for Twisted Borel K-Homology for discrete Groups.

Using a global version of the equivariant Chern character, we describe the complexified twisted equivariant K-theory of a space with a compact Lie group action in terms of fixed-point data. We apply this to the case of a compact group acting on itself by conjugation, and relate the result to the Verlinde algebra and to the Kac numerator at q = 1. Verlinde's formula is also discussed in this context.

Let K be a finite group and let G be a finite group acting on K by automorphisms. In this paper we study two different but intimately related subjects: on the one side we classify all possible multiplicative and associative structures with which one can endow the twisted G-equivariant K-theory of K, and on the other, we classify all possible monoidal structures with which one can endow the category of twisted and G-equivariant bundles over K. We achieve this classification by encoding the relevant information in the cochains of a sub double complex of the double bar resolution associated to the semidirect product K ⋊ G; we use known calculations of the cohomology of K, G and K ⋊ G to produce concrete examples of our classification. In the case in which K = G and G acts by conjugation, the multiplication map G ⋊ G → G is a homomorphism of groups and we define a shuffle homomorphism which realizes this map at the homological level. We show that the categorical information that defines the Twisted Drinfeld Double can be realized as the dual of the shuffle homomorphism applied to any 3-cocycle of G. We use the pullback of the multiplication map in cohomology to classify the possible ring structures that the Grothendieck ring of representations of the Twisted Drinfeld Double may have, and we include concrete examples of this procedure.

We define equivariant projective unitary stable bundles as the appropriate twists when defining K-theory as sections of bundles with fibers the space of Fredholm operators over a Hilbert space. We construct universal equivariant projective unitary stable bundles for the orbit types, and we use a specific model for these local universal spaces in order to glue them to obtain a universal equivariant projective unitary stable bundle for discrete and proper actions. We determine the homotopy type of the universal equivariant projective unitary stable bundle, and we show that the isomorphism classes of equivariant projective unitary stable bundles are classified by the third equivariant integral cohomology group. The results contained in this paper extend and generalize results of Atiyah-Segal.
