1 Introduction
For compact Lie groups the Chern character ch : K*(G)@Q —> Hj p(G; Q) were constructed
In [4]-[5] we computed the non-commutative Chem characters of compact Lie goup C*—algebras and
of compact quantum groups, which are also homomorphisms from quantum KK —groups into entire current periodic cyclic homology of group C *« —algebras (resp., of C*—algebra quantum groups), chợ : K,(C*(G)) —> HE,(C*(G))), (resp., chow : Ky(C2(G)) —+ HE,(C2(G))) We obtained also the corresponding algebraic vesion cheig : K.(C*(G)) —> HP,(C*(G))), which coincides with the Fedosov-Cuntz- Quillen formula for Chem characters [5] When A = C2(G) we first computed the K —groups of C2(G) and the H F,(C2(G)) Thereafter we computed the Chern character chow : K,(C(G)) — HE,(C2(G))) as an isomorphism modulo torsions
Using the results from [4]-[5], in this paper we compute the non-commutative Chern characters chow : K,(A) — HE,(A), for two cases A = C*(S”)), the C*—algebra of spheres and A = C(S”), the C*—algebras of quantum spheres For compact groups G = O(n + 1), the Chern character ch : K*(S”) ®@ Q — H},,p(S”; Q) of the sphere S” = O(n + 1)/O(n) is an isomorphism (se, [15]) In the paper, we describe two Chern character homomorphisms
chow : K,(C*(S")) —+ HE,(C*(S”)),
and
chow : Ky(CI(S")) — HE,(CE(S”))

Trang 2Finally, we show that there is a commutative diagram
cho Eg K,(C*(8")) HE(C*(S"))
K.(C(Mr,)) - “+ HE,(C(Mr,))
K*(Mu,) — “=> HEBg(Nr,))
(Similarly, for A = C*("), we have an analogous commutative diagram with W x S'! of place of
W x S$”), from which we deduce that cho» is an isomorphism modulo torsions
We now briefly review he structure of the paper In section 1, we compute the Chem chracter of the C*—algebras of spheres The computation of Chern character of C*(S”) is based on two crucial points:
i) Because the sphere S” = O(n + 1)/O(n) is a homogeneous space and C*—algebra of S$” is the transformation group C*—algebra, follwing J.Parker [10], we have:
C*(S1) = C*((O(n)) @ K(L*(8")))
ii) Using the stability property theorem K, and HF, in [5], we reduce it to the computation of C*—algebras of subgroup O(n) in O(n + 1) group
In section 2, we compute the Chem character of C*—algebras of quantum spheres For quantum sphere S”, we define the compact quantum C*—algebras C2(S”), where < is a positive real number Thereafter, we prove that:
®
C‡(s")>€(S')@ @B [ - K(H„„)4i,
cZuCVW
where (H„;) 1s the elementary algebra of compact operators in a separable infinite dimensional Hilbert space H.,¢ and W is the Weyl of a maximal torus T, in SO(n)
Similar to Section 1, we first compute the A,(C2(S”) and HE,(Ci(S”), and we prove that
cho: K,(C2(S”)) —_ HE,(Ci(S”))
is a isomorphism modulo torsion
Notes on Notation: For any compact space X, we write K*(X) for the Z/(2)— graded topo- logical K —theory of X We use Swan’s theorem to identify K*(X) with Z/(2)— graded K*(C(X)) For any involution Banach algebra A, K,(A), HF,(A) and H P,(A) are Z/(2)— graded algebraic or topological K —groups of A, enire cyclic homology, and periodic cyclic homology of A, respectively
If T is a maximal torus of a compact group G’, with the corresponding Weyl group W, write C(T) for the algebra of complex valued functions on T We use the standard notation from the root theory such as P, P* for the positive highest weights, etc We denote by Mp the normalizer of T in G, by
N the set of natural numbers, R the fied of real numbers and C the field of complex numbers, ¢7,(N) the standard ¢? space of square integrable sequences of elements from A, and finally by C*(G) we denote the compact quantum algebras, C*(G) the C*—algebra of G
Trang 32 Non-commutative Chern characters of C’*—algebras of spheres
In this section, we compute non-commutative Chern characters of C*—algebras of spheres Let A be an involution Banach algebra We construct the non-commutative Chern characters choc : K,(A) — HE,(A), and show in [4] that for C*—algebra C*(G) of compact Lie groups G, the Chern character chc« is an isomorphism
Proposition 2.1 ({5], Theorem 2.6) Let H be a separable Hilbert space and B an arbitrary Banach space We have
K.(K(H)) = K,(©):
K,(B@K(H)) = K,(B)
HE,(KUT)) = HE,(C);
HH,(B@K(H)) ~ HE,(B),
where K(H) is the elementary algebra of compact operators in a separable infinite dimensional Hilbert space H
Proposition 2.2 ([5], Theorem 3.1) Let A be an involution Banach algebra with unity There is a Chern character homomorphism
chow : K,(A) — HE,(A)
Proposition 2.3 ({5], Theorem 3.2) Let G be an compact group and T a fixed maximal torus of
G with Weyl W := Ny/T Then the Chern character chcx : K,(C*(G)) —> HE,(C*(G)) is an isomorphism modulo torsions i.e
chow : K,(C*(G)) @C ———> HE,(C*(G)),
which can be identified with the classical Chern character
chow : K,(C(Nr)) — HE,(C(Np)), that is also an isomorphic modulo torsion, i.e
ch: K.(Np) @C —— Hhp(Nr)
Now, for S” = O(n + 1)/O(n), where O(n), O(n + 1) are the orthogonal matrix groups We denote by T,, a fixed maximal torus of O(n) and Mp, the normalizer of T,, in O(n) Following Proposition 1.2, there a natural Chern character cho» : K,(C(S”)) —>+ HE,(C(S")) Now, we compute first A,(C(S”)) and then HE,(C(S”)) of C*—algebra of the sphere S”
Proposition 2.4
HE,(C(5")) “ HDn(T,))
Proof We have
HE,(C(S")) = HE,(C(O(n + 1)/O(n)))
HE,(C*(O(n)) ® K(L?(O(n + 1)/O(n))))
Trang 4(in virtue of, the K(L?(O(n + 1)/O(n)))) is a C * —algebra compact operators in a separable Hilbert space L?(O(n + 1)/O(n)))
~ x(Œ(O(n)))_ (by Proposition 1.1)
x(C(Mz,)) (see [5))
Thus, we have HE,(C*(S”)) = HE*(C(Mr, ))
Apart from that, because C(Mp,,) is then commutative C*—algebra, by a Cuntz- Quillen’s result [1], we have an isomorphism

APAC((Ne,,)) = HprWr,))- Moreover, by a result of Khalkhali [8],[9], we have

We have, hence

Remark 1 Because H}},,(Nr,,) is the de Rham cohomology of T,,, invariant under the action of the Weyl group W, following Watanabe [15], we have a canonical isomorphism H}},.(T,,) & H*(SOn)) =

Thus, we have
HE,(C*(S”)) =A (x3, UT vey 2/13)
Proposition 2.5
K(C(S")) = K"(H, ))
Proof We have
K(C(S")) =

Thus, Kk,.(C(S”)) = K,(N¢,,)
Remark 2 Following Lemma 4.2 from [5], we have

Now, consider the commutative diagram

3 Non-commutative Chern characters of C*—algebras of quantum spheres
In this section, we at first recall definition and main properties of compact quantum spheres and their representations More precisely, for S”, we define C*(.S”), the C*—algebras of compact quantum spheres as the C*—completion of the *—algebra F.(S”) with respect to the C*—norm, where F,(S”)
is the quantized Hopf subalgebra of the Hopf algebra, dual to the quantized universal enveloping algebra U(G), generated by matrix elements of the U(G) modules of type 1(see [3]) We prove that
Œ}(S") > oe ŒB N
cZuCVW
where (H„;) 1s the elementary algebra of compact operators in a separable infinite dimensional Hilbert space H,,; and W is the Weyl group of S” with respect to a maximal torus T
After that,we first compute the K—groups K,(C2(S”)) and the HE,(Ci(S”)), respectively Thereafter we define the Chern character of C*—algebras quantum spheres, as a homomorphism from K,(C2(S”)) to HE,(C*(S”)), and we prove that cho» : K,(C*(S")) —> HE,(C%(S”)) is an isomorphism modulo torsion
Let G be a complex algebraic group with Lie algebra G =LieG and « is real number, « £ —1 Definition 3.1 ((3], Definition 13.1) The quantized function algebra F,(G) is the subalgebra
of the Hopf algebra dual to U(G), generated by the matrix elements of the finite-dimensional U-(G)—modules of type 1
For compact quantum groups the unitary representations of F.(G) are parameterized by pairs (w, ), where ¢ is an element of a fixed maximal torus of the compact real form of G and w is a element
of the Weyl group W of T in G
Let \ € Pt,V.(A) be the irreducible U.(G)—module of type 1 with the highest weight À Then V.(A) admits a positive definite hermitian form (.,.) such that wv, v2) = (v1,2*v2) for all v1, v2 € V.(A), @ € U(G) Let {vi} be an orthogonal basis for weight space V.(A),, 4 € PT Then Ute} is an orthogonal basis for V.() Let CA „„(&) — (à?, 05) be the associated matrix elements
of V.(A) Then the matrix elements C}, „„(where A runs throngh P*, while (4,7) and (v,s) runs independently through the index set of a basis of V.(A) form a basis of Z-(Œ)(see [3])
Now very irreducible *—representation of F.(.S.L2(C) is equivalent to a representation belonging
to one of the following two families, each of which is parameterized by S' = {¢ € C\|t| = 1} i) the family of one-dimensional representations ‘7;
ii) the family 7; of representations in €?(N)(see [3])
Moreover, there exists a surjective homomorphism F;(G) —> F-(SL2(C)) induced by the natural inclusion SL2C < G and by composing the representation _, of F.(SL2C) with this homomorphic, we obtain a representation of F.(G) in €?(N) denoted by 7,,, where s; appears in the reduced decomposition w = $;,, Si, ., $;,- More precisely, 7s, : F.(G) —> L(€?(N)) is of class CCR(see [11]),i.c, its image is dense in the ideal of compact operators £(€7(N))
Trang 7Then representation 7; is one-dimensional and is of the form
TC sr) = Š„sổ„„exp(2rv—1()),
1 = exp(2xv—1(œ) €TT, for œ cLieT(ee [3])
Proposition 3.1 ({3], 13.1.7) Every irreducible unitary representation of f.(ŒG) on a separable Hilbert space is the completion of a unitarizable highest weight representation Moreover, two such representation are equivalent if and only if they have the same highest weight
Proposition 3.2 ((3].13.1.9) Let w = 8;,, S¿;, , S¿„ be a reduced decomposition of an elementu of the Weyl group W of G Then
i) The Hilbert space tensor product pot = Ts, @ Tsiy @ vv Q Ts, @ T, is an irreducible
*—representation of F:(G) which is associated to the Schubert cell S.,;
ii) Up to equivalence, the representation p,,,4 does not depend on the choice of the reduced decomposition of w;
iti) Every irreducible *—representation of F(G) is equivalent to some px
The sphere S”, can be realized as the orbit under the action of the compact group SU(n +1)
of the highest weight vector vo in its natural (n + 1)—dimensional representation V_ of SU(n +1) TIfbrs, O<47,8 <n, are the matrix entries of V_, the algebra of functions on the orbit is generated
by the entries in the “first column” t,o and their complex conjugates In fact,

where” ~” is the following equivalence relation

Proposition 3.3 ([3], 13.2.6) The *—structure on Hopƒ algebra 7„(SL¿()), is given by
a
tr, = (-e)" *qdet(T;s),
where T 5 is the matrix obtained by removing the r*” row and the s‘ column from T
Definition 3.2 ((3],13.2.7) The *—subalgebra of F:(SIn4i1(C)) generated by he elements tz and t*,9, for s = 0, ,, is called the quantized algebra of functions on the sphere S”, and is denoted
by F-(S”) It is a quantum SLyn41(C)—space
We set z, = ts0 from now on Using Proposition 2.4, it is easy to see that the following relations hold in F,(S”):

Hence,F,(S”) has (CP) as its defining relations The construction of irreducible *—representation of F(S”), is given by
Theorem 3.4 ((3],13.2.9) Every irreducible *—representation of F-(S”) is equivalent exactly to one
of the following:

We recall now the definition of compact quantum of spheres C*— algebra
Definition 3.3 The C*—algebraic compact quantum sphere C2(S") is he C*—completion of the
*_algebra F(S”) with respect to the C*—norm
fll = sup loll, f € F0S")
where p runs through the*— representations of F:(S”) (cf, Theorem 2.6) and the norm on the right- hand side is the operator
It suffcies to show that || f|| is finite for all f €¢ F.(S”), for it is clear that ||.|| is a C*—norm,
ic || f.f*|| = ||f\]? We now prove that following result about he structure of compact quantum C*—algebra of sphere S”
Theorem 3.5 With notation as above, we have

where C(S") is the algebra of complex valued continuous functions on S' and K(H) ideal of compact operators in a separable Hilbert space H
Proof Let w = 8;,.S8j, 8;, be a reduced decomposition of the element w € W into a product of reflections Then by Proposition 2.6, for r > 0, the representation p,, 4 1s equivalent to the restriction of Ts;, @ ++ OTs, ®T,, where 7, is the composition of the homomorphism of F,(G) onto F.(.SL2(C)) and the representation _, of F:(SL2(C)) in the Hilbert space ¢?(N)®"; and the family of one- dimensional representations 7;, given by
Ti(a) = t, Ti(b) = Tile) = 0, Tid) = £ `,
where t € S' and a,b, c,d are give by: AlgebraF.(SL2(C)) is generated by the matrix elements of

Ts, 1 C2(S") ——> OF(SL2(C)) “+> £02(R)#®").
Trang 9Now, 7s, is CCR (see, [11]) and so, we have 75,(C2(S”) = K(H.,,z) Moreover T:(C2($”)) = C
Hence,
PutlCZ(S")) — (ts, @ + OTs, @7/)(G2(5”)

where H,,; = Hs, ® ®@ Hs, ® C
Thus, Pw,t(CE(S”)) = K( Hat):
Hence,

Now, recall a result of S Sakai from [11]: Let A be a commutative C*—algebra and B be a C* —algebra Then, Co(Q, B) = A @ B, where 2 is the spectrum space of A
Applying this result, for B = K(H.,,4) ~ K and A = C(W x S') be a commutative C*—algebra
Thus, we have

Now, we first compute the K,(C(S”)) and the HE,(C2(S”)) of C*—algebra of quantum sphere S” Proposition 3.6

Since C(W x S') is a commutative *—algebra, by Proposition 1.5 §1, we have
HE,(C%(S”)) © HE,(C(W x S')) © Hpp(W x S"))
Proposition 3.7
K,(Œ(S")) > K*(W x 8).
Trang 10Proof We have
K.(0X(S")) = K,(C()øœ ŒĐ | KH) Ab)

~ K,(C(W x $'))
In result of Proposition 1.5, §1, we have

Theorem 3.8 With notation above, the Chern character of Cx —algebra of quantum sphere C'*,(S”)
chow : K,(C *2 (S") — HE,(C *, (S”))

Proof By Proposition 2.9 and 2.10, we have
HE,(C3(S")) © HE(C(W x $")) © Hpr(W x S')),
K,(C2(S")) = K,(C(W x S')) = K*(W x S"))
Now, consider the commutative diagram
