註釋

We study aspects of noncommutative geometry on hyperbolic dynamical systems known as Smale spaces. In particular, there are two C*-algebras, defined on the stable and unstable groupoids arising from the hyperbolic dynamics. These give rise to two additional crossed product C*-algebras known as the stable and unstable Ruelle algebras. We show that the Ruelle algebras exhibit noncommutative Poincaré duality. As a consequence we obtain isomorphisms between the K-theory and K-homology groups of the stable and unstable Ruelle algebras. A second result defines spectral triples on these C*-algebras and we show that the spectral dimension recovers the topological entropy of the Smale space itself. Finally we define a natural Fredholm module on the Ruelle algebras in the special case that the Smale space is a shift of finite type. Using unitary operators arising from the Pimsner-Voiculescu sequence we compute the index pairing with our Fredholm module for specific examples.
