Pimsner algebras and Gysin sequences from principal circle actions

A self Morita equivalence over an algebra B, given by a B-bimodule E, is
thought of as a line bundle over B. The corresponding Pimsner algebra O_E is
then the total space algebra of a noncommutative principal circle bundle over
B. A natural Gysin-like sequence relates the KK-theories of O_E and of B.
Interesting examples come from O_E a quantum lens space over B a quantum
weighted projective line (with arbitrary weights). The KK-theory of these
spaces is explicitly computed and natural generators are exhibited.
