Pimsner algebras and Gysin sequences from principal circle actions (Q283230)

Let \(B\) be a \(C^*\)-algebra, \(E\) a full Hilbert \(C^*\)-module over \(B\) with a given isomorphism of \(B\) with the compact operators on \(E\). This data gives rise to a Pimsner algebra \(\mathcal O_E\), which can be thought of as the total space algebra of a noncommutative principal circle bundle over \(B\). A natural Gysin-like sequence relates the \(KK\)-theories of \(\mathcal O_E\) and of \(B\). The example, when \(B\) is a quantum weighted projective line and \(\mathcal O_E\) is a quantum lens space over \(B\), is discussed, and their \(KK\)-theory is explicitly computed.
