Oberseminar Topologie - Ulrich Pennig: Twisted K-Theory of C*-algebras and 2-Bimodule Bundles.
Monday, 10.01.2011 14:00 im Raum SR 5
We generalize a description of twisted K-theory for torsion twists
using bundle gerbes to the
K-theory of operator algebras. Thus, we are able to give a nice
geometric description of
K(C(M,A)), where A is a bundle of C*-algebras over M with structure
group Aut(A). In a second
part of the talk we will explain some relation of our construction to
the notion of 2-vector
bundles and generalize the latter using bimodules over certain von
Neumann algebras.
In particular, we will use the equivalence between bimodules over type
III1-factors and
endomorphisms and discuss a topology on the space of finite-index
endomorphisms.
