Abstract: Let $G$ be a compact, connected, and simply-connected Lie group, equipped with an anti-involution $a_G$ which is the composition of a Lie group involutive automorphism $sigm{a}_G$ and the group inversion. We view $(G,a_G)$ as a Real $(G,sigm{a}_G)$-space via the conjugation action. In this note, we exploit the notion of Real equivariant formality discussed in cite{Fo} to compute the ring structure of the equivariant $KR$-theory of $G$. In particular, we show that when $G$ does not have Real representations of complex type, the equivariant $KR$-theory is the ring of Grothendieck differentials of the coefficient ring of equivariant $KR$-theory over the coefficient ring of ordinary $KR$-theory, thereby generalizing a result of Brylinski-Zhang's (cite{BZ}) for the complex $K$-theory case.

Review text

Let \(G\) be a compact, connected and simply connected Lie group, viewed as \(G\)-space with the conjugation action. Also, the Lie group \(G\) is equipped with a an anti-involution which is the composition of involutive automorphism and the group inversion. Under this setting \(G\) is considered as a real space. The author calculates the equivariant \(K\)-thehory of this space, in the case that \(G\) does not have any real representation of complex type with respect to the involution. He proves that the real \(K\)-theory in this case is isomorphic with the ring of the Grothendieck differentials of certain coefficient algebras. The methods used generalize the techniques of the previous paper of the author [\textit{C.-K. Fok}, SIGMA, Symmetry Integrability Geom. Methods Appl. 10, Paper 022, 26 p. (2014; Zbl 1291.19007)]. As an application the author provides results on vanishing of squares of the equivariant real \(K\)-theory of a real \(G\)-space \(X\).
