The Rohlin Property for Shifts of Finite Type

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that an automorphism of a unital AF C * -algebra with a certain approximate Rohlin property has the same property as the shift automorphisms associated with an irreducible shift of finite type.

Bivariant K- and Cyclic Theories

TL;DR: Bivariant K-theories generalize Ktheory and its dual, often called Khomology, at the same time as mentioned in this paper, and are a powerful tool for the computation of Ktheoretic invariants, for the formulation and proof of index theorems, for classification results and in many other instances.

Differentiable absorption of Hilbert C*-modules, connections, and lifts of unbounded operators

Jens Kaad
TL;DR: In this article, a differentiable version of the Kasparov absorption theorem is proposed to construct densely defined connections (or correspondences) on Hilbert C*-modules, which can then be used to define selfadjoint and regular lifts of unbounded operators which act on an auxiliary Hilbert C *-module.

Gauge theory on noncommutative Riemannian principal bundles

TL;DR: In this article, a general approach to gauge theory on principal $G$-spectral triples, where G$ is a compact connected Lie group, is presented, and it correctly yields a real affine space of noncommutative principal connections with affine gauge action.
