Abstract

We provide an equivariant extension of the bivariant Cuntz semigroup introduced in previous work for the case of compact group actions over C*-algebras. Its functoriality properties are explored, and some well-known classification results are retrieved. Connections with crossed products are investigated, and a concrete presentation of equivariant Cuntz homology is provided. The theory that is here developed can be used to define the equivariant Cuntz semigroup. We show that the object thus obtained coincides with the one recently proposed by Gardella [‘Regularity properties and Rokhlin dimension for compact group actions’, Houston J. Math.43(3) (2017), 861–889], and we complement their work by providing an open projection picture of it.
