Chern character for twisted K-theory of orbifolds

For an orbifold X and $α\in H^3(X, Z)$, we introduce the twisted cohomology $H^*_c(X, α)$ and prove that the Connes-Chern character establishes an isomorphism between the twisted K-groups $K_α^* (X) \otimes C$ and twisted cohomology $H^*_c(X, α)$. This theorem, on the one hand, generalizes a classical result of Baum-Connes, Brylinski-Nistor, and others, that if X is an orbifold then the Chern character establishes an isomorphism between the K-groups of X tensored with C, and the compactly-supported cohomology of the inertia orbifold. On the other hand, it also generalizes a recent result of Adem-Ruan regarding the Chern character isomorphism of twisted orbifold K-theory when the orbifold is a global quotient by a finite group and the twist is a special torsion class, as well as Mathai-Stevenson's theorem regarding the Chern character isomorphism of twisted K-theory of a compact manifold.

Universal lifting theorem and quasi-Poisson groupoids

We prove the universal lifting theorem: for an $α$-simply connected and $α$-connected Lie groupoid $\gm$ with Lie algebroid $A$, the graded Lie algebra of multi-differentials on $A$ is isomorphic to that of multiplicative multi-vector fields on $\gm$. As a consequence, we obtain the integration theorem for a quasi-Lie bialgebroid, which generalizes various integration theorems in the literature in special cases. The second goal of the paper is the study of basic properties of quasi-Poisson groupoids. In particular, we prove that a group pair $(D, G)$ associated to a Manin quasi-triple $(\mathfrak d, \mathfrak g, \mathfrak h)$ induces a quasi-Poisson groupoid on the transformation groupoid $G\times D/G\toto D/G$. Its momentum map corresponds exactly with the $D/G$-momentum map of Alekseev and Kosmann-Schwarzbach.

Twisted K-theory of differentiable stacks

In this paper, we develop twisted $K$-theory for stacks, where the twisted class is given by an $S^1$-gerbe over the stack. General properties, including the Mayer-Vietoris property, Bott periodicity, and the product structure $K^i_α\otimes K^j_β\to K^{i+j}_{α+β}$ are derived. Our approach provides a uniform framework for studying various twisted $K$-theories including the usual twisted $K$-theory of topological spaces, twisted equivariant $K$-theory, and the twisted $K$-theory of orbifolds. We also present a Fredholm picture, and discuss the conditions under which twisted $K$-groups can be expressed by so-called "twisted vector bundles". Our approach is to work on presentations of stacks, namely \emph{groupoids}, and relies heavily on the machinery of $K$-theory ($KK$-theory) of $C^*$-algebras.

Momentum Maps and Morita Equivalence

We introduce quasi-symplectic groupoids and explain their relation with momentum map theories. This approach enables us to unify into a single framework various momentum map theories, including the ordinary Hamiltonian $G$-spaces, Lu's momentum maps of Poisson group actions, and group valued momentum maps of Alekseev--Malkin--Meinrenken. More precisely, we carry out the following program: (1) Define and study properties of quasi-symplectic groupoids; (2) Study the momentum map theory defined by a quasi-symplectic groupoid. In particular, we study the reduction theory and prove that the reduced space is always a symplectic manifold. More generally, we prove that the classical intertwiner space between two Hamiltonian $Γ$-spaces is always a symplectic manifold whenever it is a smooth manifold; (3) Study the Morita equivalence of quasi-symplectic groupoids. In particular, we prove that Morita equivalent quasi-symplectic groupoids give rise to equivalent momentum map theories and that the intertwiner space depends only on the Morita equivalence class. As a result, we recover various well-known results concerning equivalence of momentum maps including Alekseev-- Ginzburg--Weinstein linearization theorem and Alekseev--Malkin--Meinrenken equivalence theorem between quasi-Hamiltonian spaces and Hamiltonian loop group sapces.

Equivariant gerbes over compact simple Lie groups

Using groupoid $S^1$-central extensions, we present, for a compact simple Lie group $G$, an infinite dimensional model of $S^1$-gerbe over the differential stack $G/G$ whose Dixmier-Douady class corresponds to the canonical generator of the equivariant cohomology $H_G^3 (G, Z)$.

Integration of twisted Poisson structures

Poisson manifolds may be regarded as the infinitesimal form of symplectic groupoids. Twisted Poisson manifolds considered by Severa and Weinstein [math.SG/0107133] are a natural generalization of the former which also arises in string theory. In this note it is proved that twisted Poisson manifolds are in bijection with a (possibly singular) twisted version of symplectic groupoids.

The Local Structure of Lie Bialgebroids

We study the local structure of Lie bialgebroids at regular points. In particular, we classify all transitive Lie bialgebroids. In special cases, they are connected to classical dynamical $r$-matrices and matched pairs induced by Poisson group actions

Quantum dynamical Yang-Baxter equation over a nonabelian base

In this paper we consider dynamical r-matrices over a nonabelian base. There are two main results. First, corresponding to a fat reductive decomposition of a Lie algebra $\frakg =\frakh \oplus \frakm$, we construct geometrically a non-degenerate triangular dynamical r-matrix using symplectic fibrations. Second, we prove that a triangular dynamical r-matrix $r: \frakh^* \lon \wedge^2 \frakg$ corresponds to a Poisson manifold $\frakh^* \times G$. A special type of quantizations of this Poisson manifold, called compatible star products in this paper, yields a generalized version of the quantum dynamical Yang-Baxter equation (or Gervais-Neveu-Felder equation). As a result, the quantization problem of a general dynamical r-matrix is proposed.

Dirac submanifolds and Poisson involutions

Dirac submanifolds are a natural generalization in the Poisson category for symplectic submanifolds of a symplectic manifold. In a certain sense they correspond to symplectic subgroupoids of the symplectic groupoid of the given Poisson manifold. In particular, Dirac submanifolds arise as the stable locus of a Poisson involution. In this paper, we provide a general study for these submanifolds including both local and global aspects. In the second part of the paper, we study Poisson involutions and the induced Poisson structures on their stable locuses. We discuss the Poisson involutions on a special class of Poisson groups, and more generally Poisson groupoids, called symmetric Poisson groups (and symmetric Poisson groupoids). Many well-known examples, including the standard Poisson group structures on semi-simple Lie groups, Bruhat Poisson structures on compact semi-simple Lie groups, and Poisson groupoids connecting with dynamical $r$-matrices of semi-simple Lie algebras are symmetric, so they admit a Poisson involution. For symmetric Poisson groups, the relation between the stable locus Poisson structure and Poisson symmetric spaces is discussed. As a consequence, we show that the Dubrovin-Ugaglia-Boalch-Bondal Poisson structure on the space of Stokes matrices $U_{+}$ appearing in Dubrovin's theory of Frobenius manifolds is indeed a Poisson symmetric space for the Poisson group $B_{+}*B_{-}$.

Triangular dynamical r-matrices and quantization

We provide a general study for triangular dynamical r-matrices using Poisson geometry. We show that a triangular dynamical r-matrix always gives rise to a regular Poisson manifold. Using the Fedosov method, we prove that non-degenerate (i.e., the corresponding Poisson manifolds are symplectic) triangular dynamical r-matrices (over $ \frakh^* $ and valued in $\wedge^{2}\frakg$) are quantizable, and the quantization is classified by the relative Lie algebra cohomology $H^{2}(\frakg, \frakh)[[\hbar ]]$. We also generalize this quantization method to splittable triangular dynamical r-matrices, which include all the known examples of triangular dynamical r-matrices. Finally, we arrive a conjecture that the quantization for an arbitrary triangular dynamical r-matrix is classified by the formal neighbourhood of this r-matrix in the modular space of triangular dynamical r-matrices. The dynamical r-matrix cohomology is introduced as a tool to understand such a modular space.

Integrable spin Calogero-Moser systems

We introduce spin Calogero-Moser systems associated with root systems of simple Lie algebras and give the associated Lax representations (with spectral parameter) and fundamental Poisson bracket relations. The associated integrable models (called integrable spin Calogero-Moser systems in the paper) and their Lax pairs are then obtained via Poisson reduction and gauge transformations. For Lie algebras of $A_{n}$-type, this new class of integrable systems includes the usual Calogero-Moser systems as subsystems. Our method is guided by a general framework which we develop here using dynamical Lie algebroids.

Spin Calogero-Moser systems associated with simple Lie algebras

We introduce spin Calogero-Moser systems associated with root systems of simple Lie algebras and give the associated Lax representations (with spectral parameter) and fundamental Poisson bracket relations. Our analysis is based on a group-theoretic framework similar in spirit to the standard classical $r$-matrix theory for constant $r$-matrices.

Quantum groupoids

We introduce a general notion of quantum universal enveloping algebroids (QUE algebroids), or quantum groupoids, as a unification of quantum groups and star-products. Some basic properties are studied including the twist construction and the classical limits. In particular, we show that a quantum groupoid naturally gives rise to a Lie bialgebroid as a classical limit. Conversely, we formulate a conjecture on the existence of a quantization for any Lie bialgebroid, and prove this conjecture for the special case of regular triangular Lie bialgebroids. As an application of this theory, we study the dynamical quantum groupoid ${\cal D}\otimes_{\hbar} U_{\hbar}(\frakg)$, which gives an interpretation of the quantum dynamical Yang-Baxter equation in terms of Hopf algebroids.

Dirac structures and dynamical r-matrices

The purpose of this paper is to establish a connection between various subjects such as dynamical r-matrices, Lie bialgebroids, and Lagrangian subalgebras. Our method relies on the theory of Dirac structures developed in dg-ga/9508013 and dg-ga/9611001. In particular, we give a new method of classifying dynamical r-matrices of simple Lie algebras $\frak g$, and prove that dynamical r-matrices are in one-one correspondence with certain Lagrangian subalgebras of ${\frak g}\oplus \frak g$.

By using twist construction, we obtain a quantum groupoid $\cald\ot_{q}\uqg$ for any simple Lie algebra $\frakg$. The underlying Hopf algebroid structure encodes all the information of the corresponding elliptic quantum group-the quasi-Hopf algebras as obtained by Fronsdal, Arnaudon et. al. and Jimbo et. al..

Quantum groupoids and deformation quantization

The purpose of this Note is to unify quantum groups and star-products under a general umbrella: quantum groupoids. It is shown that a quantum groupoid naturally gives rise to a Lie bialgebroid as a classical limit. The converse question, i.e., the quantization problem, is posed. In particular, any regular triangular Lie bialgebroid is shown quantizable. For the Lie bialgebroid of a Poisson manifold, its quantization is equivalent to a star-product.
