Abstract: Let H(R,q) be an affine Hecke algebra with a positive parameter function q. We are interested in the topological K-theory of H(R,q), that is, the K-theory of its C*-completion C*_r (R,q). We will prove that K(Cr(R,q)) does not depend on the parameter q. For this we use representation theoretic methods, in particular elliptic representations of Weyl groups and Hecke algebras. Thus, for the computation of these K-groups it suffices to work out the case q=1. These algebras are considerably simpler than for q not 1, just crossed products of commutative algebras with finite Weyl groups. We explicitly determine K(Cr(R,q)) for all classical root data R, and for some others as well. This will be useful to analyse the K-theory of the reduced C*-algebra of any classical p-adic group. For the computations in the case q=1 we study the more general situation of a finite group Gamma acting on a smooth manifold M. We develop a method to calculate the K-theory of the crossed product C(M)timesGamma. In contrast to the equivariant Chern character of Baum and Connes, our method can also detect torsion elements in these K-groups.
