On the twisted \(K\)-homology of simple Lie groups (Q853481)

The author proves that the twisted \(K\)-homology ring of a compact, connected, simply connected, simple Lie group of rank \(n\) is an exterior algebra of rank \(n-1\) tensor a cyclic group. An explicit computation of the orders of these cyclic groups is given in the case of SU\((n)\), Sp\((n)\), Spin\((n)\), \(G_2\), together with a general method applicable to the exceptional Lie groups. The link with a conjecture of \textit{V. Braun} [J. High Energy Phys. 03 (2004) ] is also done.
