Mapping graph homology to $K$-theory of Roe algebras
V. Manuilov
Abstract
Given a graph $Γ$, one may conside the set $X$ of its vertices as a metric space by assuming that all edges have length one. We consider two versions of homology theory of $Γ$ and their $K$-theory counterparts -- the $K$-theory of the (uniform) Roe algebra of the metric space $X$ of vertices of $Γ$. We construct here a natural map from homology of $Γ$ to the $K$-theory of the Roe algebra of $X$, and its uniform version. We show that, when $Γ$ is the Cayley graph of $\mathbb Z$, the constructed maps are isomorphisms.
