K-theory and homotopies of 2-cocycles on transformation groups

Abstract: This paper constitutes a first step in the author's program to investigate the question of when a homotopy of 2-cocycles

o m e g a = {o m e g a_{t}}_{t i n [0, 1]}

on a locally compact Hausdorff groupoid

m a t h c a l G

induces an isomorphism of the

K

-theory groups of the reduced twisted groupoid

C^{*}

-algebras:

K_{*} (C_{r}^{*} (m a t h c a l G, o m e g a_{0})) c o n g K_{*} (C_{r}^{*} (m a t h c a l G, o m e g a_{1})) .

Generalizing work of Echterhoff, L"uck, Phillips, and Walters from 2010, we show that if

m a t h c a l G = G l t i m e s X

is a second countable locally compact transformation group, then whenever

G

satisfies the Baum-Connes conjecture with coefficients, a homotopy

o m e g a = {o m e g a_{t}}_{t i n [0, 1]}

of 2-cocycles on

G l t i m e s X

gives rise to an isomorphism

K_{*} (C_{r}^{*} (G l t i m e s X, o m e g a_{0})) c o n g K_{*} (C_{r}^{*} (G l t i m e s X, o m e g a_{1})) .
