The Gysin sequence for quantum Lens spaces (Q5963564)

Summary: We define quantum lens spaces as `direct sums of line bundles' and exhibit them as `total spaces' of certain principal bundles over quantum projective spaces. For each of these quantum lens spaces we construct an analogue of the classical Gysin sequence in \({K}\)-theory. We use the sequence to compute the \({K}\)-theory of the quantum lens spaces, in particular to give explicit geometric representatives of their \({K}\)-theory classes. These representatives are interpreted as `line bundles' over quantum lens spaces and generically define `torsion classes'. We work out explicit examples of these classes.
