Matui's HK conjecture for ample groupoids

At least 9 years old · documented by

Let G\mathcal{G} be a minimal, essentially principal, ample groupoid with compact unit space. Here K∗K_* denotes KK-theory, Cr∗(G)C^*_r(\mathcal{G}) denotes the reduced groupoid C∗C^*-algebra, and H∗(G;Z)H_*(\mathcal{G};\mathbb{Z}) denotes groupoid homology.

HK conjecture. For ∗=0,1* = 0,1, there is an isomorphism

K∗(Cr∗(G))≅⨁i=0∞H2i+∗(G;Z).K_*\bigl(C^*_r(\mathcal{G})\bigr) \cong \bigoplus_{i = 0}^{\infty} H_{2i + *}(\mathcal{G}; \mathbb{Z}).

The conjecture proposes that the KK-theory of the reduced groupoid C∗C^*-algebra is determined by the even and odd groupoid homology groups. It is refuted: counterexamples were constructed by Scarparo and Deeley.
