Index pairings for R^n-actions and Rieffel deformations

Abstract: With an action

a l p h a

of

m a t h b b R^{n}

on a

C^{*}

-algebra

A

and a skew-symmetric

n i m e s n

matrix

T h e t a

one can consider the Rieffel deformation

A_{T} h e t a

of

A

, which is a

C^{*}

-algebra generated by the

a l p h a

-smooth elements of

A

with a new multiplication. The purpose of this paper is to obtain explicit formulas for

K

-theoretical quantities defined by elements of

A_{T} h e t a

. We assume that there is a densely defined trace on

A

, invariant under the action. We give an explicit realization of Thom class in

K K

in any dimension

n

, and use it in the index pairings. When

n

is odd, for example, we give a formula for the index of operators of the form

P p i^{T} h e t a (u) P

, where

p i^{T} h e t a (u)

is the operator of left Rieffel multiplication by an invertible element

u

over the unitization of

A

, and

P

is projection onto the nonnegative eigenspace of a Dirac operator constructed from the action

a l p h a

. The results are new also for the undeformed case

T h e t a = 0

. The construction relies on two approaches to Rieffel deformations in addition to Rieffel's original one: "Kasprzak deformation" and "warped convolution". We end by outlining potential applications in mathematical physics.
