Abstract: We consider quasifree ground states of Araki's self-dual CAR algebra from the viewpoint of index theory and symmetry protected topological (SPT) phases. We first review how Clifford module indices characterise a topological obstruction to connect pairs of symmetric gapped ground states. This construction is then generalised to give invariants in $K{O}_{a}st(A^{m}athfrakr)$ with $A$ a $C^{*,mathfrakr}$-algebra of allowed deformations. When $A=C^{*}(X)$, the Roe algebra of a coarse space $X$, and we restrict to gapped ground states that are locally equivalent with respect $X$, a $K$-homology class is also constructed. The coarse assembly map relates these two classes and clarifies the relevance of $K$-homology to free-fermionic SPT phases.
