In [CPR2], we presented a K-theoretic approach to finding invariants of algebras with no non-trivial traces. This paper presents a new example that is more typical of the generic situation. This is the case of an algebra that admits only non-faithful traces, namely SU_q(2), and also KMS states. Our main results are index theorems (which calculate spectral flow), one using ordinary cyclic cohomology and the other using twisted cyclic cohomology, where the twisting comes from the generator of the modular group of the Haar state. In contrast to the Cuntz algebras studied in [CPR2], the computations are considerably more complex and interesting, because there are nontrivial `eta contributions to this index.
Recently, examples of an index theory for KMS states of circle actions were discovered, cite{CPR2,CRT}. We show that these examples are not isolated. Rather there is a general framework in which we use KMS states for circle actions on a C*-algebra A
We study bounded operators defined in terms of the regular representations of the $C^*$-algebra of an amenable, Hausdorff, second countable locally compact groupoid endowed with a continuous $2$-cocycle. We concentrate on spectral quantities associat
When a compact quantum group $H$ coacts freely on unital $C^*$-algebras $A$ and $B$, the existence of equivariant maps $A to B$ may often be ruled out due to the incompatibility of some invariant. We examine the limitations of using invariants, both
To a proper inclusion Nsubset M of II_1 factors of finite Jones index [M:N], we associate an ergodic C*-action of the quantum group S_mu U(2). The deformation parameter is determined by -1<mu<0 and [M:N]=|mu+mu^{-1}|. The higher relative commutants c
This paper presents, by example, an index theory appropriate to algebras without trace. Whilst we work exclusively with the Cuntz algebras the exposition is designed to indicate how to develop a general theory. Our main result is an index theorem (fo
