Abstract

The irrational rotation algebra is known to be self-dual in a KK-theoretic sense. The required K-homology fundamental class was constructed by Connes out of the Dolbeault operator on the 2-torus, but so far, there has not been an explicit description of the dual element. In this talk, I will geometrically construct a finitely generated projective module representing said K-theory class, by using a pair of transverse Kronecker flows on the 2-torus.
