K-theory and homotopies of 2-cocycles on higher-rank graphs

Elizabeth Gillaspy

Vol. 278 (2015), No. 2, 407–426
Abstract

This paper continues our investigation into the question of when a homotopy of 2-cocycles on a locally compact Hausdorff groupoid gives rise to an isomorphism of the K-theory groups of the twisted groupoid C-algebras. Our main result, which builds on work by Kumjian, Pask, and Sims, shows that a homotopy of 2-cocycles on a row-finite higher-rank graph Λ gives rise to twisted groupoid C-algebras with isomorphic K-theory groups. (The groupoid in question is the path groupoid of Λ.) We also establish a technical result: any homotopy of 2-cocycles on a locally compact Hausdorff groupoid G gives rise to an upper semicontinuous bundle of C-algebras.
