On the algebraic index for Riemannian étale groupoids (Q844115)

This paper introduces a general algebraic index theory for Riemannian etale groupoids. Let us recall that in a previous work, the authors studied the algebraic index theory over orbifolds using noncommutative geometry and deformation quantization. Here, the authors generalize the results over singular spaces modeled by groupoids. They first construct explicitly a quasi-isomorphism to study the cyclic relevant cohomology. Then, they propose and study a general algebraic index problem. Examples of proper etale groupoids and constant Dirac structures are finally given.
