A lefschetz fixed-point formula for certain orbifold c*-algebras

TL;DR: Using Poincare duality in K-theory, the authors proved a Lefschetz fixed point formula for endomorphisms of crossed product C � -algebras C0(X)⋊ G coming from covariant pairs.

Full coactions on Hilbert C*-modules

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors introduce a natural notion of full coactions of a locally compact group on a Hilbert C*-module, and associate each full coaction in a natural way to an ordinary coaction.

On the Homotopy Classification of Elliptic Operators on Manifolds with Edges

TL;DR: In this paper, a classification of elliptic operators modulo stable homotopy on manifolds with edges is presented, and the main part of the proof is the computation of the boundary map using semiclassical quantization.

Computing Ext for graph algebras

TL;DR: For a row-nite graph G with no sinks and in which every loop has an exit, this paper constructed an isomorphism between Ext(C (G)) and coker(A I), where A is the vertex matrix of G and C is the class associated to a graph obtained by attaching a sink to G, and this isomor-phism maps c to the class of a vector that describes how the sink was added.
