Abstract: Kitchloo and Morava give a strikingly simple picture of elliptic cohomology at the Tate curve by studying a completed version of S1-equivariant K-theory for spaces. Several authors (cf [ABG],[KM],[L]) have suggested that an equivariant version ought to be related to the work of Freed-Hopkins-Teleman ([FHT1],[FHT2],[FHT3]). However, a first attempt at this runs into apparent contradictions concerning twist, degree, and cup product. Several authors (cf. [BET],[G],[K]) have solved the problem over the complex numbers by interpreting the S1-equivariant parameter as a complex variable and using holomorphicity as the technique for completion. This paper gives a solution that works integrally, by constructing a carefully completed model of K-theory for S1-equivariant stacks which allows for certain ``convergent" infinite-dimensional cocycles.


In this paper the author constructs \(S^1\)-completed \(K\)-theory. The motivation of this theory is Kitchloo and Morava's idea of Tate \(K\)-theory, which is constructed as the circle-equivariant \(K\)-theory of the free loop space. The author applies this idea and constructs the new theory. Instead of the free loop space, he applies the loop groupoid. In this way the \(S^1\)-completed \(K\)-theory is constructed as a twisted cohomology theory. The author constructs a new model of equivariant elliptic cohomology at the Tate curve using the theory. In addition, he compares Grojnowski's equivariant elliptic cohomology with the \(S^1\)-completed \(K\)-theory. Due to the relation between Tate \(K\)-theory and \(K\)-theory, it is natural to seek a construction of \(S^1\)-completed \(K\)-theory in term of Freed-Hopkins-Telemann's construction of twisted \(K\)-theory [\textit{D. S. Freed} et al., J. Topol. 4, No. 4, 737--798 (2011; Zbl 1241.19002), J. Am. Math. Soc. 26, No. 3, 595--644 (2013; Zbl 1273.22015) and Ann. Math. (2) 174, No. 2, 947--1007 (2011; Zbl 1239.19002)]. In this way the author formulates the conclusions about the calculation of the theory as Freed, Hopkins and Telemann did in their papers. It is worth mentioning that the \(S^1\)-completed \(K\)-theory is the twisted quasi-elliptic cohomology defined by the reviewer and \textit{M. B. Young} [``Twisted Real quasi-elliptic cohomology, Preprint, \url{arXiv:2210.07511}]. The twisted Real quasi-elliptic cohomology is a Real version of this theory.
