%0 Journal Article %T On the algebraic index for riemannian ¨¦tale groupoids %A M. J. Pflaum %A H. Posthuma %A X. Tang %J Mathematics %D 2008 %I arXiv %R 10.1007/s11005-009-0339-y %X In this paper we construct an explicit quasi-isomorphism to study the cyclic cohomology of a deformation quantization over a riemannian \'etale groupoid. Such a quasi-isomorphism allows us to propose a general algebraic index problem for riemannian \'etale groupoids. We discuss solutions to that index problem when the groupoid is proper or defined by a constant Dirac structure on a 3-dim torus. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/0812.3975v1
