Groupoid cocycles and K-theory

Abstract: Let

c : m a t h c a l G o R

be a cocycle on a locally compact Hausdorff groupoid

m a t h c a l G

with Haar system. Under some mild conditions (satisfied by all integer valued cocycles on '{e}tale groupoids),

c

gives rise to an unbounded odd

R

-equivariant bimodule

(m a t h p z c E, D)

for the pair of

C^{*}

-algebras

(C^{*} (m a t h c a l G), C^{*} (m a t h c a l H))

. If the cocycle comes from a continuous quasi-invariant measure on the unit space

m a t h c a l G^{(0)}

, the corresponding element in

K K_{1}^{R} (C^{*} (m a t h c a l G), C^{*} (m a t h c a l H))

gives rise to an index map

K_{1}^{R} (C^{*} (m a t h c a l G)) o C

.
