Abstract: Let G be a compact, simple, simply connected Lie group. A theorem of Freed-Hopkins-Teleman identifies the level k fusion ring R_k(G) of G with the twisted equivariant K-homology at level k+h, where h is the dual Coxeter number. In this paper, we review this result using the language of Dixmier-Douady bundles. We show that the additive generators of the group R_k(G) are obtained as K-homology push-forwards of the fundamental classes of conjugacy classes in G.

Review text

Let \(G\) be a compact simple simply connected Lie group. The cohomology group \(H^3(G)\) classifies bundles of \(C^*\)-algebras, with typical fibers the compact operators on a Hilbert space, by the classical Dixmier Douady invariant and the corresponding bundle is called the Dixmier Douday bundle \(\mathcal A \to G\). The \(K\)-group of the \(C^*\)-algebra of sections of \(\mathcal A\) is the \(K\)-cohomology group \[ K_q(G,\mathcal A) = K^q(\Gamma_0(G,\mathcal A)),\qquad K^q(G,\mathcal A) = K_q(\Gamma_0(G,\mathcal G)). \] A theorem of Freed-Hopkins-Teleman identifies the level \(k \geq 0\) fusion ring \(R_k(G)\) with the twisted equivariant \(K\)-homology at level \(k+\check h\), where \(\check h\) is the Coxeter number of \(G\). The author reviews this result using the language of Dixmier Douady invariant bundles. In Theorem 5.6 the author shows that the additive generators of the group \(R_k(G)\) are obtained as the \(K\)-homology push-forwards of the fundamental class of the prequantized congugacy class in \(G\).
