Quantum Weighted Projective and Lens Spaces

Communications in Mathematical Physics volume 340, pages 325–353 (2015)Cite this article

Abstract

We generalize to quantum weighted projective spaces in any dimension previous results of us on K-theory and K-homology of quantum projective spaces ‘tout court’. For a class of such spaces, we explicitly construct families of Fredholm modules, both bounded and unbounded (that is, spectral triples), and prove that they are linearly independent in the K-homology of the corresponding C *-algebra. We also show that the quantum weighted projective spaces are base spaces of quantum principal circle bundles whose total spaces are quantum lens spaces. We construct finitely generated projective modules associated with the principal bundles and pair them with the Fredholm modules, thus proving their non-triviality.
