Contribution

The paper introduces a novel method to analyze topological phases using *-homomorphisms between groupoid and coarse-geometric models.

Strong topological phases in the groupoid model are detected by position spectral triples.

02

Phases from stacking along a Delone set are weak in the coarse-geometric sense.

Abstract

We study the robustness of topological phases on aperiodic lattices by constructing *-homomorphisms from the groupoid model to the coarse-geometric model of observable C*-algebras. These *-homomorphisms induce maps in K-theory and Kasparov theory. We show that the strong topological phases in the groupoid model are detected by position spectral triples. We show that topological phases coming from stacking along another Delone set are always weak in the coarse-geometric sense.

Introduction

In this article, we aim at a new look at the following question:How to understand the robustness of topological phases of a discrete physical system, described by a generic aperiodic point pattern?We begin with some background around it. Topological insulators are materials that are insulating in the bulk but nevertheless possess metallic edges. The current flowing on the edge is usually quite robust under disorder coming from impurity of the crystal. Starting from Bellissard, van Elst and Schulz-Baldes [5, 11], the non-commutative and C*-algebraic tools have been intensively applied to the study of such materials and in particular, leading to an interpretation of the Kubo formula in the integer quantum Hall effect (IQHE) as a quantised index pairing.

In physics literature, the model Hamiltonian of a topological insulator is usually given by a tight-binding, short-range operator supported on a periodic, square lattice, invariant under the translation by its unit cell vector. Such a Hamiltonian $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ H $$\end{document}$ (or its spectral projection) belong to a (noncommutative) torus $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ A_\vartheta =\mathbb {C}\rtimes _\vartheta \mathbb {Z}^d $$\end{document}$ , the noncommutativity coming from a 2-cocycle twist $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \vartheta $$\end{document}$ given by the external magnetic field. If the Hamiltonian is not translation invariant, then Bellissard suggested to replace $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ A_\vartheta $$\end{document}$ by a twisted crossed product $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \textrm{C}(\Omega )\rtimes _\vartheta \mathbb {Z}^d $$\end{document}$ , where $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \Omega $$\end{document}$ is a compact space called the hull of $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ H $$\end{document}$ . This description is applicable even if the underlying space is no longer a square lattice, but comes from a tiling subject to some properties, cf. [2, 27].

There are, however, amorphous materials, like liquid crystals and glass, that cannot be modelled using such methods. Even if for quasi-crystals such that the method of [2, 27] applies, then one has to essentially provide a (non-canonical) $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \mathbb {Z}^d $$\end{document}$ -labelling of the underlying lattice, under which the Hamiltonian remains short-range (cf. [10]).

These suggest to use more general point sets in $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \mathbb {R}^d $$\end{document}$ , modelling the atomic sites of this material, as their underlying geometric spaces. The dynamics thereon are studied by more general actions other than a $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \mathbb {Z}^d $$\end{document}$ -translation. It was explained in [6] that such point sets should be Delone sets (Definition 3.1). Let $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \Lambda $$\end{document}$ be a Delone set, whose points are considered as the sites in a physical system. How should one model the observable C*-algebra $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ A $$\end{document}$ from it?

The choice of an observable C*-algebra should be aligned with the following principle: it should be large enough to contain all possible Hamiltonians, and small enough to supply useful homotopy theory (K-theory). In recent years, there have been two main approaches to this modelling problem, which provide toolkits to compute invariants of topological phases:

“dynamical” approach describes a crossed product C*-algebra, covariant for the groupoid actions on the aperiodic point pattern, then restricts to the dynamical hull of the point pattern. This gives a groupoid C*-algebra.
“coarse-geometric” approach describes a C*-algebra which is stable under all short-range, locally–finite-rank perturbations that do not close the gap. This leads to a Roe C*-algebra. The groupoid approach gives an étale groupoid $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \mathcal {G}_\Lambda \rightrightarrows \Omega _0 $$\end{document}$ from a Delone set $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \Lambda $$\end{document}$ , and yields a “tight-binding” groupoid C*-algebra $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \textrm{C}^*(\mathcal {G}_\Lambda ) $$\end{document}$ , cf. [6, 9, 10, 23]. This is a generalisation of the well-studied periodic model: if $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \Lambda =\mathbb {Z}^d $$\end{document}$ , then $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \textrm{C}^*(\mathcal {G}_\Lambda )\simeq \textrm{C}^*(\mathbb {Z}^d) $$\end{document}$ is the group C*-algebra of $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \mathbb {Z}^d $$\end{document}$ . Here tight-binding means the following: the regular representation of $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \textrm{C}^*(\mathcal {G}_\Lambda ) $$\end{document}$ is given by a Hilbert $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \textrm{C}(\Omega _0) $$\end{document}$ -module, or equivalently, a continuous field of Hilbert spaces over $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \Omega _0 $$\end{document}$ , where $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \Omega _0 $$\end{document}$ is unit space of the groupoid $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \mathcal {G}_\Lambda $$\end{document}$ . The fibres of this continuous field are canonically identified with $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \ell ^2(\omega ) $$\end{document}$ , where $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \omega \in \Omega _0 $$\end{document}$ is a Delone set, either as a translated copy of $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \Lambda $$\end{document}$ , or as a weak*-limit of such sets. Thus $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \textrm{C}^*(\mathcal {G}_\Lambda ) $$\end{document}$ consists of families of model Hamiltonians $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ (H_\omega )_{\omega \in \Omega _0} $$\end{document}$ , where $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ H_\omega $$\end{document}$ acts on $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \ell ^2(\omega ) $$\end{document}$ , in a covariant way with respect to the groupoid action.

The coarse-geometric approach describes a C*-algebra which is stable under all possible short-range perturbations. This gives rise to a (uniform or non-uniform) Roe C*-algebra $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \textrm{C}^*_\textrm{Roe}(\Lambda ) $$\end{document}$ from $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \Lambda $$\end{document}$ , cf. [12, 19]. We choose to work with the non-uniform Roe C*-algebras, whose advantages over the uniform ones were explained in [12].

In this setup, a Delone set $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \Lambda \subseteq \mathbb {R}^d $$\end{document}$ is considered as a discrete metric space. Then $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ L^2(\mathbb {R}^d) $$\end{document}$ carries an ample representation of $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \textrm{C}_0(\Lambda ) $$\end{document}$ , which generates a Roe C*-algebra $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \textrm{C}^*_\textrm{Roe}(\Lambda )$$\end{document}$ . Physically, a short-range Hamiltonian $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ H $$\end{document}$ has matrix coeffcients $[eqn]$ of fast enough decay, thus can be approximated by controlled operators. Every unit cell should have finite degrees of freedom, coming from the number of electron orbits and their spins. Thus the restriction of $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ H $$\end{document}$ to any finite region should have finite-rank. Therefore, the Roe C*-algebra $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \textrm{C}^*_\textrm{Roe}(\Lambda ) $$\end{document}$ can be viewed as the universal C*-algebra that contains all such Hamiltonians.

If we model a topological insulator on a Delone set $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \Lambda $$\end{document}$ by the Roe C*-algebra $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \textrm{C}^*_\textrm{Roe}(\Lambda ) $$\end{document}$ , then its topological phase is robust in a very strong sense: such topological phases (and their associated topological invariants) are robust under any short-range, locally–finite-rank perturbation that preserves the spectral gap and the symmetry of the system. It follows from the K-theory of (real) Roe C*-algebra (cf. (3.24)) that such topological phase are completely classified by their topological invariants, which are $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \mathbb {Z}$$\end{document}$ - or $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \mathbb {Z}/2 $$\end{document}$ -valued indiced that belong to the real K-theory groups of $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \mathbb {R}$$\end{document}$ . The groupoid model $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \textrm{C}^*(\mathcal {G}_\Lambda ) $$\end{document}$ , on the other hand, has more involved K-theory and numerical invariants. One natural question is in which sense those topological phases described by the groupoid model are still robust. Moreover, do they lead to interesting invariants that do not occur in the coarse-geometric model?

Questions related to this type of robustness are usually answered by showing that the numerical index is still continuous, even for some more general perturbations of the Hamiltonian (which does not have to belong to the observable C*-algebra), together with a “quantisation” statement that the range of the numerical index is $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \mathbb {Z}$$\end{document}$ . This implies that such perturbations leave the topological invariants unchanged.

We describe a different approach to this robustness question by comparing the groupoid model with the coarse-geometric model on $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \Lambda $$\end{document}$ using the regular representation. The topological invariants defined in [9] factor through this representation. Therefore, since $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \textrm{C}^*_\textrm{Roe}(\Lambda ) $$\end{document}$ is “robust”, one only needs to understand which topological phases in $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \textrm{C}^*(\mathcal {G}_\Lambda ) $$\end{document}$ may still survive there. To this end, we introduce a handy definition of position spectral triples (Definition 2.11). Both the groupoid model and the coarse-geometric model possess such type of spectral triples. In particular, the position spectral triple $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \xi ^\textrm{Roe}_\omega $$\end{document}$ over the Roe C*-algebra $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \textrm{C}^*_\textrm{Roe}(\omega ) $$\end{document}$ induces an isomorphism $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \operatorname {KK}(\textrm{C}\ell _{d,0},\textrm{C}^*_\textrm{Roe}(\omega ))\rightarrow \mathbb {Z}$$\end{document}$ (Theorem 3.33). Then we show that those topological invariants of the groupoid model, given by localising the “bulk cycle” $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ _{d}{\lambda }_{\Omega _0}$$\end{document}$ at $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \omega \in \Omega _0 $$\end{document}$ , are pullbacks of the KK-class of $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \xi ^\textrm{Roe}_\omega $$\end{document}$ under the comparison *-homomorphism $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \mathbb {M}_N(\textrm{C}^*(\mathcal {G}_\Lambda ))\rightarrow \textrm{C}^*_\textrm{Roe}(\omega ) $$\end{document}$ (Theorem 4.1). Such invariants are therefore strong in the sense of [12].

As another application, we show in Theorem 4.10 that certain numerical invariants on Delone sets, coming from “stacking” lower-dimensional topological phases, must be weak, i.e. unstable under perturbation. This generalises a result in [12], which explains why certain topological phases of the periodic model ought to be weak. More precisely, the authors of [12] compare the periodic model and the coarse-geometric model using an injective -homomorphism $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \textrm{C}^*(\mathbb {Z}^d)\hookrightarrow \textrm{C}^*_\textrm{Roe}(\mathbb {Z}^d) $$\end{document}$ . It vanishes on all but one $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \mathbb {Z}$$\end{document}$ -component of K-theory. In particular, topological phases coming from “stacking” lower-dimensional topological phases will all vanish in $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \operatorname {K}_*(\textrm{C}^*_\textrm{Roe}(\mathbb {Z}^d)) $$\end{document}$ . This allows us to conclude that the induced maps $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \operatorname {K}_*(\textrm{C}^*(\mathbb {Z}^{d}))\rightarrow \operatorname {K}_*(\textrm{C}^*(\mathbb {Z}^{d+1})) $$\end{document}$ also vanishes there. We show that one can replace $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \mathbb {Z}^{d+1} $$\end{document}$ by a product Delone set of the form $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \Lambda \times L $$\end{document}$ , where $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \Lambda \subseteq \mathbb {R}^p $$\end{document}$ and $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ L\subseteq \mathbb {R}^q $$\end{document}$ are both Delone sets. Using the same strategy in [12], we show that stacked topological phases factor through the Roe C-algebra of a flasque space, which has vanishing K-theory. This allows us to conclude that such topological phases and their numerical invariants have to vanish in the target Roe C*-algebra.

Topological Phases and K-Theory

In the simplest form, a (non-interacting) quantum system is described by an unbounded, self-adjoint operator $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ H $$\end{document}$ (the Hamiltonian) acting on a complex, separable Hilbert space $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \mathcal {H} $$\end{document}$ . A topological insulator is a quantum system which carries certain symmetries, giving rise to topological invariants that distinguish different topological phases of this system.

The links between topological insulators and (real, bivariant) K-theory has been investigated throughly in the recent decade, cf. [4, 17, 28]. In our case of interest, the links are made as follows:

For aperiodic materials, the physically relevant symmetries are time-reversal symmetry, particle-hole symmetry and chiral symmetry. These symmetries may be combined and give rise to several symmetry types of the system. The topological phase of such a material is represented by the class $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ [H]\in \operatorname {KK}(\textrm{C}\ell _{n,0},A) $$\end{document}$ of the Hamiltonian in a certain bivariant K-theory (in fact, $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \operatorname {KO}$$\end{document}$ -theory) group of a real C*-algebra $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ A $$\end{document}$ (the observable real C*-algebra), cf. [ [28], Table 1; [4], Table 1; [17], Section 6].
The topological invariant of a topological insulator can be computed as an index pairing. That is, a Kasparov product of the form

The section is organised as follows. We shall first recall in Section 2.1 the definitions of “real” and real C*-algebras and their representations. Then we study two special cases: the Clifford algebras in Section 2.1.1 and the graded “real” C*-algebra $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \textrm{C}^*(\mathbb {Z}^d)\otimes \mathbb {C}\ell _{0,d} $$\end{document}$ in Section 2.1.2. We recall a few properties of Kasparov theory in Section 2.2 that will be used later.

We introduce a class of spectral triples, called position spectral triples, in Section 2.3. We recall in Section 2.3.1 that the position spectral triple $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \xi _{\mathbb {Z}^d} $$\end{document}$ over $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \textrm{C}^*(\mathbb {Z}^d)_\mathbb {R}\otimes \textrm{C}\ell _{0,d} $$\end{document}$ represents the fundamental class.

“Real” and Real C*-Algebras

When we consider physical systems with anti-unitary symmetries, like time-reversal or particle-hole symmetries, then we must represent them as anti-unitary operators on $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \mathcal {H} $$\end{document}$ which commute or anti-commute with the Hamiltonian $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ H $$\end{document}$ . This turns the Hilbert space $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \mathcal {H} $$\end{document}$ into a “real” Hilbert space $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ (\mathcal {H},\Theta ) $$\end{document}$ , and the observable C*-algebra into a “real” C*-algebra $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ (A,\mathfrak {r}) $$\end{document}$ . The latter was introduced by Kasparov ( [14], Section 1, Definition 3).

We recall the definition of “real” and real C*-algebras and Hilbert spaces. A “real” C*-algebra is sometimes referred to as a Real C*-algebra (cf. [7], note the upper case R) or a $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \textrm{C}^{*,\textrm{r}} $$\end{document}$ -algebra (cf. [17]) in the literature.

Let $[eqn]$ be the $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ j $$\end{document}$ -th position operator on $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \ell ^2(\mathbb {Z}^d) $$\end{document}$ defined by

Thus the operator $[eqn]$ is an odd, essentially self-adjoint operator on the $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \mathbb {Z}/2 $$\end{document}$ -graded “real” Hilbert space $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \ell ^2(\mathbb {Z}^d)\otimes \bigwedge \nolimits ^*\mathbb {C}^{d} $$\end{document}$ .

Lemma 2.6

The Fourier transform (2.5) induces a unitary equivalence between the unbounded operator $[eqn]$ on $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \ell ^2(\mathbb {Z}^d)\otimes \bigwedge ^*\mathbb {C}^d $$\end{document}$ and the Hodge–de Rham operator $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \textrm{d}+\textrm{d}^* $$\end{document}$ on $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ L^2(\bigwedge ^*\textrm{T}^*\mathbb {T}^d) $$\end{document}$ . Both operators preserve the real subspace $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \ell ^2(\mathbb {Z}^d)_\mathbb {R}\otimes \bigwedge \nolimits ^*\mathbb {R}^{d}\simeq L^2(\bigwedge ^*\textrm{T}^*\mathbb {T}^d)_\mathbb {R}$$\end{document}$ , and hence are “real”.

By definition, we have

So $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ U^*\textrm{d}U $$\end{document}$ acts by $[eqn]$ on $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \ell ^2(\mathbb {Z}^d)\otimes \bigwedge \nolimits ^*\mathbb {C}^{d} $$\end{document}$ .

Kasparov Theory for Real C*-Algebras

In his seminal work [15], Kasparov introduced a bivariant K-theory for $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \mathbb {Z}/2 $$\end{document}$ -graded C*-algebras. Elements in his bivariant K-theory group $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \operatorname {KK}(A,B) $$\end{document}$ may be viewed as “generalised homomorphisms” from $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ A $$\end{document}$ to $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ B $$\end{document}$ . Kasparov’s constructions are general enough to be transferred to the setting of real C*-algebras (cf. [4], Appendix A).

Lemma 2.13

Every position spectral triple is locally compact. That is, the matrix elements

[eqn]

are compact for all $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ a\in \mathcal {A} $$\end{document}$ and $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ x,y\in \Lambda $$\end{document}$ .

Proof

By assumption of a real spectral triple, we have that

Theorem 2.15

Taking the Kasparov product with $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ [\xi _{\mathbb {Z}^d,N}] $$\end{document}$ ,

is a surjective group homomorphism.

Proof

The result is well-known, cf. ( [15], Section 5, Theorem 7), whilst we need to appeal to a variant of KK-theory for “real” C*-algebras called KKR-theory (also defined by Kasparov in [15]).

Let $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ (\mathbb {T}^d,\tau :z\mapsto \overline{z}) $$\end{document}$ be the “real” $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ d $$\end{document}$ -torus. Then Kasparov showed that the “real” spectral triple

\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$\begin{aligned} \left( \textrm{C}(\mathbb {T}^d,\mathbb {C}\ell (\mathbb {T}^d)),\; L^2(\bigwedge \nolimits ^*\textrm{T}^*\mathbb {T}^d),\; \textrm{d}+\textrm{d}^*\right) \end{aligned}$$\end{document}

represents the KKR-thereotic fundamental class in $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \operatorname {KKR}(\textrm{C}(\mathbb {T}^d,\mathbb {C}\ell (\mathbb {T}^d)),\mathbb {C}) $$\end{document}$ . That is, there exists a class $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \beta \in \operatorname {KKR}(\mathbb {C},\textrm{C}(\mathbb {T}^d,\mathbb {C}\ell (\mathbb {T}^d))) $$\end{document}$ (“the Bott class”) such that

\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$\begin{aligned} \beta \times _{\textrm{C}(\mathbb {T}^d,\mathbb {C}\ell (\mathbb {T}^d))}\alpha =1\in \operatorname {KKR}(\mathbb {C},\mathbb {C}). \end{aligned}$$\end{document}

Now we pass from KKR to KK-theory of real C*-algebras. By Lemma 2.4, the Fourier transform (2.5) maps $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \textrm{C}(\mathbb {T}^d,\mathbb {C}\ell (\mathbb {T}^d)) $$\end{document}$ to $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \textrm{C}^*(\mathbb {Z}^d)\otimes \mathbb {C}\ell _{0,d} $$\end{document}$ , where $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \textrm{C}^*(\mathbb {Z}^d) $$\end{document}$ carries the real structure $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \mathfrak {r}(f)(x)=\overline{f(x)} $$\end{document}$ ; and the Hodge–de Rham operator $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \textrm{d}+\textrm{d}^* $$\end{document}$ to the position operator $[eqn]$ , which is a “real” operator.

There is a natural isomorphism $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \operatorname {KKR}(A,B)\simeq \operatorname {KK}(A^{\mathfrak {r}_A},B^{\mathfrak {r}_B}) $$\end{document}$ (cf. [7], Section 2). Under this isomorphism, we find that the Hodge–de Rham spectral triple (2.16), after composing with a rank-one corner embedding $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \mathbb {R}\hookrightarrow \mathbb {K}(\mathcal {K}) $$\end{document}$ , is mapped to the position spectral triple $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \xi _{\mathbb {Z}^d,1}$$\end{document}$ . Hence its Kasparov product with the Bott class in $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \operatorname {KK}(\mathbb {R},\textrm{C}^*(\mathbb {Z}^d)_\mathbb {R}\otimes \textrm{C}\ell _{0,d}) $$\end{document}$ equals $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ 1\in \mathbb {Z}\simeq \operatorname {KK}(\textrm{C}\ell _{d,d},\mathbb {R}) $$\end{document}$ . $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$\square $$\end{document}$

Remark 2.17

The KKR-class of the Hodge–de Rham spectral triple (2.16) is also called the Dirac element (cf. ( [16], Definition–Lemma 4.2)). It is the KK-theoretic analogue of the fundamental class in cohomology. We refer to ( [21], Section 4.3) for the notion of fundamental classes in Kasparov theory and noncommutative geometry.

Models of Aperiodic Topological Insulators

Convention

From now on, all Hilbert spaces and C*-algebras are assumed to be real. All C*-algebras excepted for the Clifford algebras (and their tensor products with other C*-algebras) are assumed to be ungraded.

In this section, we shall describe the groupoid model (cf. Section 3.1) and Roe C*-algebra model (cf. Section 3.2) of topological insulators on aperiodic lattices. A short discussion on the uniform Roe C*-algebras is given in Section 3.2.3.

We assume that the aperiodic lattice is described by a Delone set $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \Lambda \subseteq \mathbb {R}^d $$\end{document}$ , i.e. a uniformly discrete and relatively dense subset of $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \mathbb {R}^d $$\end{document}$ , defined as follows.

In the context below, we shall not distinguish between a discrete set and its corresponding pure point measure.

Proposition 3.4

([6], Theorem 1.5, Section 2.1) Using the notation above and fix $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ 0<r<R $$\end{document}$ , we have the following:

Position Spectral Triple Over the Groupoid C*-Algebra

In order to construct a spectral triple over $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \textrm{C}^*(\mathcal {G}_\Lambda ) $$\end{document}$ or $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \mathbb {M}_N\textrm{C}^*(\mathcal {G}_\Lambda ) $$\end{document}$ , one way is to first construct an unbounded Kasparov $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \textrm{C}^*(\mathcal {G}_\Lambda ) $$\end{document}$ - $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \textrm{C}(\Omega _0) $$\end{document}$ –module, then take its (unbounded) Kasparov product with a *-homomorphism $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \textrm{C}(\Omega _0)\rightarrow \mathbb {R}$$\end{document}$ . Such an unbounded Kasparov module was given in ( [9], Section 2.3.1) using the “position” operators on the Hilbert $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \textrm{C}(\Omega _0) $$\end{document}$ -module $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ L^2(\mathcal {G}_\Lambda ) $$\end{document}$ :

where

The map $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ c_j:\mathcal {G}_\Lambda \rightarrow \mathbb {R}$$\end{document}$ is an exact groupoid cocycle in the sense of ( [22], Definition 4.1.2). It follows from the general construction in ( [22], Theorem 3.2.2) that $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ _{d}{\lambda }_{\Omega _0}$$\end{document}$ is an unbounded Kasparov module. Following [9], we call $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ _{d}{\lambda }_{\Omega _0}$$\end{document}$ the bulk cycle.

Now we construct the position spectral triple by localising $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ _{d}{\lambda }_{\Omega _0}$$\end{document}$ at any $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \omega \in \Omega _0 $$\end{document}$ . As explained in the paragraph after Definition 3.1, the physically relevant Hilbert space is $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \ell ^2(\omega )\otimes \mathcal {K} $$\end{document}$ instead of $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \ell ^2(\omega ) $$\end{document}$ or $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \ell ^2(\omega )\otimes \mathbb {R}^N $$\end{document}$ .

Theorem 3.12

Let $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \omega \in \Omega _0 $$\end{document}$ and $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \mathcal {K} $$\end{document}$ be a Hilbert space.

which is the Kasparov product of the following (unbounded) Kasparov modules and *-homomorphisms:

Proof

The composition of (1)–(3) is easy to compute because either (2) or (3) can be described by a Hilbert module with zero operator. The tensor product of these Hilbert modules

\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$\begin{aligned} \left( L^2(\mathcal {G}_\Lambda )\otimes _{\operatorname {ev}_\omega }\mathbb {R}\otimes \mathcal {K}\right) \otimes \bigwedge \nolimits ^*\mathbb {R}^{d} \end{aligned}$$\end{document}

is isomorphic to $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \ell ^2(\omega )\otimes \mathcal {K}\otimes \bigwedge \nolimits ^*\mathbb {R}^{d} $$\end{document}$ via the localised representation at $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \omega $$\end{document}$ . Thus it suffices to check that $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ c_j $$\end{document}$ is mapped to $[eqn]$ under the composition and that (3.13) is a spectral triple. By (3.7), the operator $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ X_j\otimes \operatorname {id}_{\mathcal {K}}\otimes \operatorname {id}_{\bigwedge \nolimits ^*\mathbb {R}^{d}} $$\end{document}$ acts on $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \ell ^2(\omega )\otimes \mathcal {K}\otimes \bigwedge \nolimits ^*\mathbb {R}^{d} $$\end{document}$ sends $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \left|x\right\rangle \otimes v\otimes w $$\end{document}$ to $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ x_j\left|x\right\rangle \otimes v\otimes w $$\end{document}$ , where $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ x\in \omega $$\end{document}$ is considered an element in $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \mathbb {R}^d $$\end{document}$ . It is a spectral triple by ( [9], Proposition 4.1). Thus (3.13) is a position spectral triple. $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$\square $$\end{document}$

Roe C*-Algebra of a Delone Set

The coarse-geometric approach uses the Roe C*-algebra $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \textrm{C}^*_\textrm{Roe}(\Lambda ) $$\end{document}$ of the Delone set $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \Lambda $$\end{document}$ . It consists of operators on $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \ell ^2(\Lambda ,\mathcal {K}) $$\end{document}$ which are locally compact and can be approximated by controlled operators. In this setting, we treat a Delone set $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \Lambda \subseteq \mathbb {R}^d $$\end{document}$ as discrete metric space, equipped with the subspace topology from $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \mathbb {R}^d $$\end{document}$ .

By Propositions 3.21 and 3.22, given two Delone set $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \Lambda _1,\Lambda _2\subseteq \mathbb {R}^d $$\end{document}$ and ample modules $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \mathcal {H}_{\Lambda _1},\mathcal {H}_{\Lambda _2} $$\end{document}$ , then there exists an isomorphism $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \textrm{C}^*_\textrm{Roe}(\Lambda _1,\mathcal {H}_{\Lambda _1})\simeq \textrm{C}^*_\textrm{Roe}(\Lambda _2,\mathcal {H}_{\Lambda _2}) $$\end{document}$ . More generally, all of them are isomorphic to the Roe C*-algebra of $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \mathbb {R}^d $$\end{document}$ defined by its standard ample module, cf. ( [12], Theorem 2). However, we note that the inclusion $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \iota :\Lambda \hookrightarrow \mathbb {R}^d $$\end{document}$ does not induce an isomorphism (via a covering isometry) between the corresponding Roe C*-algebras $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \textrm{C}^*_\textrm{Roe}(\Lambda ,\mathcal {H}_\Lambda ) $$\end{document}$ and $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \textrm{C}^*_\textrm{Roe}(\mathbb {R}^d,\mathcal {H}_{\mathbb {R}^d}) $$\end{document}$ defined using their standard ample modules. An isomorphism between the Roe C*-algebras of coarsely equivalent spaces $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ X $$\end{document}$ and $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ Y $$\end{document}$ was constructed in ( [12], Theorem 3). However, these spaces carry different ample modules, involving an inverse of the coarsely dense embedding $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \iota :X\rightarrow X\coprod Y $$\end{document}$ in the coarse category.

As opposed to the groupoid C*-algebra $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \textrm{C}^*(\mathcal {G}_\Lambda ) $$\end{document}$ , the Roe C*-algebra $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \textrm{C}^*_\textrm{Roe}(\Lambda ) $$\end{document}$ has simple K-theory groups. It follows from coarse Mayer–Vietoris sequence (cf.

This holds for any Delone set $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \Lambda \subseteq \mathbb {R}^d $$\end{document}$ as well by Proposition 3.22. Therefore, K-theory of the real or complex Roe C*-algebras of a Delone set $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \Lambda \subseteq \mathbb {R}^d $$\end{document}$ is given by

cf. ( [12], Section 3 and Corollary 5).

While using the Roe C*-algebra as the observable C*-algebra, there is no need to pass to its matrix algebras, as opposed to the case of groupoids. It was proven in ( [12], Corollary 1) that an operator $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ T $$\end{document}$ on $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \mathcal {H}_\Lambda ^{\oplus N} $$\end{document}$ is locally compact and controlled if and only if its matrix elements in $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \mathbb {B}(\mathcal {H}_\Lambda ) $$\end{document}$ are locally compact and controlled, when $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ T $$\end{document}$ is viewed as an $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ N\times N $$\end{document}$ -matrix with entries in $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \mathbb {B}(\mathcal {H}_\Lambda ) $$\end{document}$ . Therefore

Such an isomorphism preserves controlled or locally compact operators using the characterisation in Example 3.18.

Proof

Identifying $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ A $$\end{document}$ and its dense subalgebra $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \mathcal {A} $$\end{document}$ with their images under $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \varphi $$\end{document}$ , we may assume that $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \varphi :A\rightarrow \mathbb {B}(\ell ^2(\Lambda )\otimes \mathcal {K}) $$\end{document}$ is injective. Then we must show that every $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ a\in \mathcal {A} $$\end{document}$ is locally compact and can be approximated by controlled operators. Being locally compact amounts to saying that $[eqn]$ for all $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ x,y\in \Lambda $$\end{document}$ , which always holds by Lemma 2.13 (providing that $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \xi $$\end{document}$ is a position spectral triple.)

Now we show that every $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ a\in \mathcal {A} $$\end{document}$ is a norm limit of controlled operators. For convenience, below we write $[eqn]$ for the operator $[eqn]$ on $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \ell ^2(\Lambda )\otimes \mathcal {K} $$\end{document}$ .

Since $[eqn]$ is bounded for all $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ a\in \mathcal {A} $$\end{document}$ and $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ i,j\in \{1,\dots ,d\} $$\end{document}$ , we have $[eqn]$ is a bounded operator for all $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ j\in \{1,\dots ,d\} $$\end{document}$ , i.e. there exists $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ C>0 $$\end{document}$ such that $[eqn]$ .

By Lemma 3.25, it suffices to show that for all $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ a\in \mathcal {A} $$\end{document}$ and $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ j=1,\dots ,d $$\end{document}$ , the map

[eqn]

is continuous in the norm topology on $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \mathbb {B}(\ell ^2(\Lambda ,\mathcal {K})) $$\end{document}$ . It follows from

[eqn]

that

[eqn]

Therefore,

[eqn]

So the map $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ t\mapsto \operatorname {Ad}{\sigma _t}(a) $$\end{document}$ is continuous for all $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ a\in \mathcal {A} $$\end{document}$ , and thus $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ a\in \mathcal {A} $$\end{document}$ is a norm limit of controlled operators. $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$\square $$\end{document}$

Thus if the *-algebra $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \mathcal {A} $$\end{document}$ in the position spectral triple is dense in $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \textrm{C}^*_\textrm{Roe}(\Lambda ) $$\end{document}$ , then it defines a spectral triple over $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \textrm{C}^*_\textrm{Roe}(\Lambda ) $$\end{document}$ . This amounts to choosing a suitable dense *-subalgebra inside $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \textrm{C}^*_\textrm{Roe}(\Lambda ) $$\end{document}$ . The spectral triple below has been implicitly used by Ewert and Meyer in the proof of ( [12], Theorem 7).

Proof

Let $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ T\in \mathcal {C}_\textrm{Roe}(\Lambda ) $$\end{document}$ , $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ x,y\in \Lambda $$\end{document}$ .

Since $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ T $$\end{document}$ is controlled, there exists $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ R>0 $$\end{document}$ such that $[eqn]$ whenever $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \textrm{d}(x,y)>R $$\end{document}$ . Thus

[eqn]

So $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ T $$\end{document}$ preserves the domain of $[eqn]$ and boundedly commutes with it for every $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ j=1,\dots ,d $$\end{document}$ .

Therefore, for any $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ S\in \textrm{C}\ell _{0,d} $$\end{document}$ , $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ T\otimes S $$\end{document}$ preserves the domain of $[eqn]$ , and boundedly commutes with $[eqn]$ .

Proof

The proof comes from ( [12], Theorem 7, Corollary 5), which we sketch here.

First let $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ n=d $$\end{document}$ and $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \iota :\textrm{C}^*(\mathbb {Z}^d)\hookrightarrow \textrm{C}^*_\textrm{Roe}(\mathbb {Z}^d) $$\end{document}$ be the inclusion map induced by the obvious isometry $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \ell ^2(\mathbb {Z}^d)\hookrightarrow \ell ^2(\mathbb {Z}^d)\otimes \mathcal {K} $$\end{document}$ . Then

\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$\begin{aligned} \xi _{\mathbb {Z}^d,1}=\iota ^*\xi _{\mathbb {Z}^d}^\textrm{Roe}, \end{aligned}$$\end{document}

that is, $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \xi _{\mathbb {Z}^d,1} $$\end{document}$ is the pullback of the position spectral triple over $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \textrm{C}^*_\textrm{Roe}(\mathbb {Z}^d)_\mathbb {R}$$\end{document}$ . Thus the following diagram commutes by functorality of the Kasparov product (cf. Lemma 2.10):

and the horizontal arrow is a surjective group homomorphism by Theorem 2.15. Thus the bottom right arrow is a surjective group homomorphism $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \mathbb {Z}\rightarrow \mathbb {Z}$$\end{document}$ , hence an isomorphism.

Therefore, for $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ i\in \{1,2\} $$\end{document}$ , the *-homomorphism $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \operatorname {Ad}_{V_{j}} $$\end{document}$ pulls back the class $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ [\xi _L^\textrm{Roe}]\in \operatorname {KK}(\textrm{C}^*_\textrm{Roe}(L)\otimes \textrm{C}\ell _{0,d},\mathbb {R}) $$\end{document}$ to the class $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ [\xi _{L_i}^\textrm{Roe}]\in \operatorname {KK}(\textrm{C}^*_\textrm{Roe}(L_i)\otimes \textrm{C}\ell _{0,d},\mathbb {R}) $$\end{document}$ .

As a consequence, we may assume without loss of generality that $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \mathbb {Z}^d\cap \Lambda =\emptyset $$\end{document}$ .

Starting from Kubota [19], uniform Roe C*-algebras have also been employed as the observable C*-algebras of aperiodic topological insulators. As opposed to Roe C*-algebras, uniform Roe C*-algebras have much more involved K-theory. For example, it is known that $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \operatorname {K}_0(\textrm{C}^*_{\textrm{u,Roe}}(\mathbb {Z})) $$\end{document}$ is uncountable for $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ d\ge 1 $$\end{document}$ (cf. [26], Example II.3.4).

We briefly remark here that the uniform Roe C*-algebra is also quite “universal” as it contains all “tight-binding” observable C*-algebras, in the following sense:

Proof

It follows from Lemma 3.25 and the proof of Theorem 3.26 that given the spectral triple $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \zeta _\Lambda $$\end{document}$ , then every $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ a\in \mathcal {A} $$\end{document}$ is represented as a controlled operator on $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \ell ^2(\Lambda ) $$\end{document}$ . Thus $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \varphi (\mathcal {A})\subseteq \textrm{C}^*_{\textrm{u,Roe}}(\Lambda ) $$\end{document}$ and hence $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \varphi (A)\subseteq \textrm{C}^*_{\textrm{u,Roe}}(\Lambda ) $$\end{document}$ . $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$\square $$\end{document}$

Thus tight-binding models of topological insulators, e.g. the groupoid model $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \textrm{C}^*(\mathcal {G}_\Lambda ) $$\end{document}$ , is already contained in the uniform Roe C*-algebra $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \textrm{C}^*_{\textrm{u,Roe}}(\Lambda ) $$\end{document}$ , and we have inclusions of C*-algebras and isometric embeddings of Hilbert spaces which they act on:

As argued in ( [12], Section 1), the occurrence of uniform Roe C*-algebras might be considered as an artefact of the tight-binding approximation.

Robustness of topological phases

Now we use the results from previous sections to compare the groupoid model $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \textrm{C}^*(\mathcal {G}_\Lambda ) $$\end{document}$ with the coarse-geometric model $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \textrm{C}^*_\textrm{Roe}(\Lambda ) $$\end{document}$ of topological phases on an aperiodic lattice $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \Lambda $$\end{document}$ . Topological phases described by the K-theory of $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \textrm{C}^*_\textrm{Roe}(\Lambda ) $$\end{document}$ are called strong in [12]. We follow this terminology. Such phases are stable under perturbations which perserve the conjugate-linear and/or chiral symmtries of the system, are locally compact and controlled, and do not close the gap of the Hamiltonian. This is because such perturbations lift to homotopies in the Roe C*-algebra, and hence preserve K-theory.

We will explain which phases, described by the K-theory of $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \textrm{C}^*(\mathcal {G}_\Lambda ) $$\end{document}$ , have the same robustness. This is done by mapping $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \textrm{C}^*(\mathcal {G}_\Lambda ) $$\end{document}$ into a Roe C*-algebra $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \textrm{C}^*_\textrm{Roe}(\omega ) $$\end{document}$ using the localised regular representations $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \pi _\omega $$\end{document}$ depending on a choice of $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \omega \in \Omega $$\end{document}$ , whereas all of these $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \omega $$\end{document}$ yield isomorphic Roe C*-algebras as they are Delone sets in $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \mathbb {R}^d $$\end{document}$ . We also explain that “stacked” topological phases, coming from lower-dimensional Delone sets, are always weak. Both results can be viewed as generalisations of ( [12], Section 4), in which the Delone set $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \Lambda $$\end{document}$ is the periodic square lattice $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \mathbb {Z}^d $$\end{document}$ .

Position spectral triples detect strong topological phases

The results of Theorem 3.12 and Theorem 3.33 allows us to compare the groupoid model and the coarse-geometric model on the level of both C*-algebras and K-theory (index pairing). The main theorem is the following:

Theorem 4.1

(Position spectral triples detect strong topological phases) For every $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \omega \in \Omega _0 $$\end{document}$ , The following diagram commutes:

Whenever this holds, then it follows that the KK-class represented by the spectral triple (3.13)

equals the pullback along $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \pi ^N_\omega $$\end{document}$ of the KK-class represented by (3.28):

[eqn]

We have shown in Theorem 3.12 that $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \xi ^\textrm{Gpd}_{\omega ,N} $$\end{document}$ is a position spectral triple.

Then it follows from the functoriality of the Kasparov product in Lemma 2.10 that the bottom left triangle commutes.

The commutativity of the top right triangle follows from the construction of $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \xi ^\textrm{Gpd}_\omega $$\end{document}$ in Theorem 3.12.

And the diagram 4.2 recovers the commutative diagram in ( [12], Theorem 7).

Stacked topological phases are weak

It was explained in [12] why certain topological phases described by $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \operatorname {K}_*(\textrm{C}^*(\mathbb {Z}^d)) $$\end{document}$ are “weak”. Let $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \varphi :\mathbb {Z}^{d}\rightarrow \mathbb {Z}^{d+1} $$\end{document}$ is an injective group homomorphism. It induces a map $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \varphi _*:\textrm{C}^*(\mathbb {Z}^{d})\rightarrow \textrm{C}^*(\mathbb {Z}^{d+1}) $$\end{document}$ and hence maps

in K-theory. Topological phases that belong to the image of $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \varphi _* $$\end{document}$ can be thought of as “stacked” from the lower-dimensional lattice $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \mathbb {Z}^d $$\end{document}$ . It was shown in ( [12], Proposition 10) that such phases are killed by the map $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \operatorname {K}_*(\textrm{C}^*(\mathbb {Z}^{d+1}))\rightarrow \operatorname {K}_*(\textrm{C}^*_\textrm{Roe}(\mathbb {Z}^{d+1})) $$\end{document}$ induced by the inclusion $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \textrm{C}^*(\mathbb {Z}^{d+1})\hookrightarrow \textrm{C}^*_\textrm{Roe}(\mathbb {Z}^{d+1}) $$\end{document}$ . The proof is based on the fact that $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \varphi $$\end{document}$ also induces a map between the Roe C*-algebras of $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \mathbb {Z}^d $$\end{document}$ and $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \mathbb {Z}^{d+1} $$\end{document}$ , which factors through a flasque space if $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \varphi $$\end{document}$ is injective. Then this map induces zero maps in K-theory.

We shall explain in this section how this observation can be generalised to aperiodic lattices and higher-dimensional cases. That is, we consider Delone sets of the form $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \Lambda \times L $$\end{document}$ , where $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ L $$\end{document}$ is another Delone set. If $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ L $$\end{document}$ has dimension $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ 1 $$\end{document}$ , then we may think of $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \Lambda \times L $$\end{document}$ as “stacking” $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \Lambda $$\end{document}$ along the direction of $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ L $$\end{document}$ (cf. Figure 2). This also gives a *-homomorphism groupoid *-homomorphism $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \varphi ^\textrm{Gpd}:\textrm{C}^*(\mathcal {G}_\Lambda ) \rightarrow \textrm{C}^*(\mathcal {G}_{\Lambda \times L}) $$\end{document}$ , which induces maps

Such maps can be interpreted as “stacking” topological phases living on $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \Lambda $$\end{document}$ along the direction $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ L $$\end{document}$ .

Proof

Choose $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ 0<r<R $$\end{document}$ satisfying $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ r<\min \{r_L,r_{\Lambda }\} $$\end{document}$ and $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ R>\sqrt{R_\Lambda ^2+R_L^2} $$\end{document}$ .

Hence

So $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \Lambda \times L $$\end{document}$ is an $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ (r,R) $$\end{document}$ -Delone set. $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$\square $$\end{document}$

A convenient way to define the “stacking” map is by describing the C*-algebra of the product Delone set as a spatial tensor product. We note the following well-known lemma:

Let

then there are isometries

A similar argument as the lines below (4.8) shows that $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ T\mapsto (T\otimes \operatorname {id}_{\ell ^2(\ell _+)},T\otimes \operatorname {id}_{\ell ^2(\ell _-)}) $$\end{document}$ maps $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \textrm{C}^*_\textrm{Roe}(\omega ) $$\end{document}$ into $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \textrm{C}^*_\textrm{Roe}(\omega \times \ell _+)\oplus \textrm{C}^*_\textrm{Roe}(\omega \times \ell _-) $$\end{document}$ . Both spaces $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \omega \times \ell _\pm $$\end{document}$ are flasque (cf. [25], Definition 9.3). Hence, $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \textrm{C}^*_\textrm{Roe}(\omega \times \ell _\pm ) $$\end{document}$ have vanishing K-theory by an Eilenberg swindle argument, cf.

Thus $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \varphi ^\textrm{Roe}_* $$\end{document}$ vanishes as it factors through zero. $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$\square $$\end{document}$

Proof

We claim that the following diagram commutes:

To see this, let $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ f\in \textrm{C}_\textrm{c}(\mathcal {G}_\Lambda ) $$\end{document}$ and $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ S\in \mathbb {M}_N(\mathbb {R}) $$\end{document}$ . It follows from (4.7) and (4.8) that:

[eqn]

holds for all $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ x,y\in \omega $$\end{document}$ and $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ a,b\in \ell $$\end{document}$ . Therefore the maps $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \varphi ^\textrm{Roe}\circ \pi _\omega ^N $$\end{document}$ coincides with $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \pi _{\omega \times \ell }^N\circ \varphi ^\textrm{Gpd}$$\end{document}$ on all elements of the form $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ f\otimes S $$\end{document}$ , and hence for $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \textrm{C}^*(\mathcal {G}_\Lambda )\otimes \mathbb {M}_N(\mathbb {R}) $$\end{document}$ . That is, the diagram above commutes.

The commutative diagram above gives a commutative diagram in K-theory. This, together with the bottom left triangle of 4.2, gives the following commutative diagram:

where $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \xi ^\textrm{Gpd}_{\omega \times \ell } $$\end{document}$ and $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \xi ^\textrm{Roe}_{\omega \times \ell } $$\end{document}$ are the corresponding position spectral triples over $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \textrm{C}^*(\mathcal {G}_{\Lambda \times L}) $$\end{document}$ and $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \textrm{C}^*_\textrm{Roe}(\omega \times \ell ) $$\end{document}$ . It follows that the composition map $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \xi ^\textrm{Gpd}_{\omega \times \ell }\circ \varphi _* =\xi ^\textrm{Roe}_{\omega \times \ell }\circ \varphi ^\textrm{Roe}_*\circ \pi _\omega $$\end{document}$ factors through

which vanishes by Lemma 4.9. Therefore $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \xi ^\textrm{Gpd}_{\omega \times \ell }\circ \varphi ^\textrm{Gpd}_* $$\end{document}$ must be the zero map. $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$\square $$\end{document}$
