Hochschild and cyclic (co)homology of superadditive categories

We define the Hochschild and cyclic (co)homology groups for superadditive categories and show that these (co)homology groups are graded Morita invariants. We also show that the Hochschild and cyclic homology are compatible with the tensor product of superadditive categories.     

Algebraic cycles and EPW cubes

Let X be a hyperkähler variety with an anti‐symplectic involution ι. According to Beauville's conjectural “splitting property”, the Chow groups of X should split in a finite number of pieces such that the Chow ring has a bigrading. The Bloch–Beilinson conjectures predict how ι should act on certain of these pieces of the Chow groups. We verify part of this conjecture for a 19‐dimensional family of hyperkähler sixfolds that are “double EPW cubes” (in the sense of Iliev–Kapustka–Kapustka–Ranestad). This has interesting consequences for the Chow ring of the quotient , which is an “EPW cube” (in the sense of Iliev–Kapustka–Kapustka–Ranestad).     

The Connes–Moscovici Approach to Cyclic Cohomology for Compact Quantum Groups

Consider the Hopf algebra (A, ) of regular functions on a compact quantum group. Let (A ^o ,) denote its maximal dual Hopf algebra. We show that the tensor product Hopf algebra (H ₂,₂) of (A ^o ,) and its opposite Hopf algebra is endowed with a modular pair (,) in involution; a notion introduced by A. Connes and J. Moscovici, who associate canonically a cocyclic object to such Hopf algebras. Denote the Hopf cyclic cohomology thus obtained by HC ^* _(,)(H ₂). Next we define an action of H ₂),₂ on A and show that the Haar state of (A, ) is a -invariant -trace on A with respect to this action. This gives us a canonical map from HC ^* _(,)(H ₂) to the ordinary cyclic cohomology of A.     

Real C*-Algebras, United K-Theory, and the Künneth Formula

We define united K-theory for real C^*-algebras, generalizing Bousfield's topological united K-theory. United K-theory incorporates three functors – real K-theory, complex K-theory, and self-conjugate K-theory – and the natural transformations among them. The advantage of united K-theory over ordinary K-theory lies in its homological algebraic properties, which allow us to construct a Künneth-type, nonsplitting, short exact sequence whose middle term is the united K-theory of the tensor product of two real C^*-algebras A and B which holds as long as the complexification of A is in the bootstrap category . Since united K-theory contains ordinary K-theory, our sequence provides a way to compute the K-theory of the tensor product of two real C^*-algebras. As an application, we compute the united K-theory of the tensor product of two real Cuntz algebras. Unlike in the complex case, it turns out that the isomorphism class of the tensor product is not determined solely by the greatest common divisor of K and l. Hence, we have examples of nonisomorphic, simple, purely infinite, real C^*-algebras whose complexifications are isomorphic.     

Finite-Dimensional Motives and the Conjectures of Beilinson and Murre

We relate the notion of finite dimensionality of the Chow motive M(X) of a smooth projective variety X (as defined by S. Kimura) with the conjectures of Beilinson, Bloch and Murre on the existence of a filtration on the Chow ring CH*(X). We show (Theorem 3) that finite dimensionality of M(X) implies uniqueness, up to isomorphism, of Murre's decomposition of M(X). Conversely (Theorem 4), Murre's conjecture for X ^m ×X ^m (for a suitable m) implies finite-dimensionality of M(X). We also show (Theorem 7) that, for a surface X with p _g = 0, the motive M(X) is finite-dimensional if and only if the Chow group of 0-cycles of X is finite-dimensional in the sense of Mumford, i.e. iff the Bloch conjecture holds for X.The second named author is a member of GNSAGA of CNR.     

Künneth formulae and cross products for the symplectic Floer cohomology

For a symplectic monotone manifold (P,ω) and φSymp₀(P,ω), we define a -graded symplectic Floer cohomology (a local invariant) over integral coefficients. There is a spectral sequence which arises from a filtration on the -graded symplectic Floer cochain complex. The spectral sequence converges to the -graded symplectic Floer cohomology (a global invariant). We show that there are cross products on the -graded symplectic Floer cohomology and on the spectral sequence, hence on the usual -graded symplectic Floer cohomology. The Künneth formula for the -graded symplectic Floer cohomology is proved and similar results for the spectral sequence are obtained.
