Equivariant $K$-theory of cellular toroidal embeddings

Abstract

In this article we describe the $G_{comp}\times G_{comp}$-equivariant topological $K$-ring of a {\em cellular} toroidal embedding $\mathbb{X}$ of a complex connected reductive algebraic group $G$. In particular, our results extend the results in \cite{u1} and \cite{u2} on the regular embeddings of $G$, to the equivariant topological $K$-ring of a larger class of (possibly singular) cellular toroidal embeddings. They are also a topological analogue of the results in \cite{gon} on the operational equivariant algebraic $K$-ring, for cellular toroidal embeddings.
