Popis: We consider cycles for graded $$C^{*,\mathfrak {r}}$$ -algebras (Real $$C^{*}$$ -algebras) which are compatible with the $$*$$ -structure and the real structure. Their characters are cyclic cocycles. We define a Connes type pairing between such characters and elements of the van Daele K-groups of the $$C^{*,\mathfrak {r}}$$ -algebra and its real subalgebra. This pairing vanishes on elements of finite order. We define a second type of pairing between characters and K-group elements which is derived from a unital inclusion of $$C^*$$ -algebras. It is potentially non-trivial on elements of order two and torsion valued. Such torsion valued pairings yield topological invariants for insulators. The two-dimensional Kane–Mele and the three-dimensional Fu–Kane–Mele strong invariant are special cases of torsion valued pairings. We compute the pairings for a simple class of periodic models and establish structural results for two dimensional aperiodic models with odd time reversal invariance.
