Take finitely many topological spaces and for each pair of these spaces choose a pair of corresponding closed subspaces that are identified by a homeomorphism. We note that this gluing procedure does not guarantee that the building pieces, or the gluings of some pieces, are embedded in the space obtained by putting together all given ingredients. Dually, we show that a certain sufficient condition, called the cocycle condition, is also necessary to guarantee sheaf-like properties of surjective multi-pullbacks...
Within the framework of free actions of compact quantum groups on unital C*-algebras, we propose two conjectures. The first one states that, if is a free coaction of the C*-algebra H of a non-trivial compact quantum group on a unital C*-algebra A, then there is no H-equivariant *-homomorphism from A to the equivariant join C*-algebra . For A being the C*-algebra of continuous functions on a sphere with the antipodal coaction of the C*-algebra of functions on ℤ/2ℤ, we recover the celebrated Borsuk-Ulam...
We consider the poset of all non-empty finite subsets of the set of natural numbers, use the poset structure to topologise it with the Alexandrov topology, and call the thus obtained topological space the universal partition space. Then we show that it is a classifying space for finite closed coverings of compact quantum spaces in the sense that any such a covering is functorially equivalent to a sheaf over this partition space. In technical terms, we prove that the category of finitely supported...
In this overview, we study how to reduce the index pairing for a fibre-product C*-algebra to the index pairing for the C*-algebra over which the fibre product is taken. As an example we analyze the case of suspensions and apply it to noncommutative instanton bundles of arbitrary charges over the suspension of quantum deformations of the 3-sphere.
