Geometric Chern characters in p-adic equivariant K-theory
- Thomas Schick
Abstract
Totally disconnected groups play an important role for arithmetic questions, in particular groups like
Chern characters are an important tool for the computation of these equivariant K-theory groups. We present a new and very geometric construction of an equivariant Chern character, taking values in a suitably defined Alexander-Spanier cohomology. It takes values in an equivariant version of Alexander-Spanier cohomology. As a main result we prove that this Chern character is an isomorphism after tensor product with the complex numbers.
