Positivity of Matui's HK Conjecture for AF Groupoids

Abstract

In this paper we generalise an application of Matui's HK conjecture by Farsi, Kumjian, Pask, and Sims, that gives an isomorphism from the homology groups of AF groupoids to the corresponding K-theory. We give an explicit formula for this isomorphism, and we show that the map is an order isomorphism. Since homology groups are equipped with several useful techniques, this map can help us to understand the K-theory of the C*-algebra in more detail. To illustrate this, we apply the isomorphism to characterise the AF embeddability of the C*-algebra of Deaconu-Renault groupoids.
