The Godbillon–Vey invariant and equivariant $KK$-theory

Lachlan MacDonald and Adam Rennie
Vol. 5 (2020), No. 2, 249–294
DOI: 10.2140/akt.2020.5.249
Abstract

We construct a groupoid equivariant Kasparov class for transversely oriented foliations in all codimensions. In codimension 1 we show that the Chern character of an associated semifinite spectral triple recovers the Connes–Moscovici cyclic cocycle for the Godbillon–Vey secondary characteristic class.
