The K-theory and the invertibility of almost periodic Toeplitz operators

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors use K-theory to study the invertibility of systems of almost periodic Toeplitz operators and show that they are invertible.

The signature operator at 2

TL;DR: In this article, the signature operator on a manifold defines a K-homology class which is an orientation after inverting 2, and what special properties does this class have, and it is well known that it is bordism invariant.

Some classifiable groupoid C*-algebras with prescribed K-theory

TL;DR: In this article, a minimal, amenable, etale equivalence relation on a Cantor set whose associated groupoid is tracially AF, and hence classifiable in the Elliott classification scheme, was constructed.
