K-theory and homotopies of 2-cocycles on higher-rank graphs

Abstract: This paper continues our investigation into the question of when a homotopy

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

of 2-cocycles on a locally compact Hausdorff groupoid

m a t h c a l G

gives rise to an isomorphism of the

K

-theory groups of the twisted groupoid

C^{*}

-algebras:

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

In particular, we build on work by Kumjian, Pask, and Sims to show that if

m a t h c a l G = m a t h c a l G_{L} a m b d a

is the infinite path groupoid associated to a row-finite higher-rank graph

L a m b d a

with no sources, and

{c_{t}}_{t i n [0, 1]}

is a homotopy of 2-cocycles on

L a m b d a

, then

K_{*} (C^{*} (m a t h c a l G_{L} a m b d a, s i g m a_{c_{0}})) c o n g K_{*} (C^{*} (m a t h c a l G_{L} a m b d a, s i g m a_{c_{1}})),

where

s i g m a_{c_{t}}

denotes the 2-cocycle on

m a t h c a l G_{L} a m b d a

associated to the 2-cocycle

c_{t}

on

L a m b d a

. We also prove a technical result (Theorem 3.3), namely that a homotopy of 2-cocycles on a locally compact Hausdorff groupoid

m a t h c a l G

gives rise to an upper semi-continuous

C^{*}

-bundle.
