Popis: | We describe explicit generators for the “real” K-theory of “real” spheres in van Daele’s picture. Pulling these generators back along suitable maps from tori to spheres produces a family of Hamiltonians used in the physics literature on topological insulators. We compute their K-theory classes geometrically based on the wrong-way functoriality of K-theory and the geometric version of bivariant K-theory, which we extend to the “real” case. |
