Thom Isomorphism Theorem

AbstractWe develop equivariant KK–theory for locally compact groupoid actions by Morita equivalences on real and complex graded C*-algebras. Functoriality with respect to generalised morphisms and Bott periodicity are discussed. We introduce Stiefel-Whitney classes for real or complex equivariant vector bundles over locally compact groupoids to establish the Thom isomorphism theorem in twisted groupoid K–theory.

AbstractWe establish the Thom isomorphism in twisted K-theory for any real vector bundle and develop the push-forward map in twisted K-theory for any differentiable map f : X → Y (not necessarily K-oriented). We also obtain the wrong way functoriality property for the push-forward map in twisted K-theory. For D-branes satisfying Freed-Witten's anomaly cancellation condition in a manifold with a non-trivial B-field, we associate a canonical element in the twisted K-group to get the so-called D-brane charges.

Abstract We study the algebra of Wilson line operators in three-dimensional $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 2 supersymmetric U(M ) gauge theories with a Higgs phase related to a complex Grassmannian Gr(M, N ), and its connection to K-theoretic Gromov-Witten invariants for Gr(M, N ). For different Chern-Simons levels, the Wilson loop algebra realizes either the quantum cohomology of Gr(M, N ), isomorphic to the Verlinde algebra for U(M ), or the quantum K-theoretic ring of Schubert structure sheaves studied by mathematicians, or closely related algebras.

Abstract We construct explicit elements $W_{ij}^k$ in (a completion of) the shifted quantum toroidal algebra of type $A$ and show that these elements act by 0 on the $K$-theory of moduli spaces of parabolic sheaves. We expect that the quotient of the shifted quantum toroidal algebra by the ideal generated by the elements $W_{ij}^k$ will be related to $q$-deformed $W$-algebras of type $A$ for arbitrary nilpotent, which would imply a $q$-deformed version of the Alday-Gaiotto-Tachikawa (AGT) correspondence between gauge theory with surface operators and conformal field theory.
