dc.descriptionLet $\mathcal{A}$ be the $C^*$-algebra associated with $SU_q(2)$, $π$ be the representation by left multiplication on the $L_2$ space of the Haar state and let $D$ be the equivariant Dirac operator for this representation constructed by the authors earlier. We prove in this article that there is no operator other than the scalars in the commutant $π(\cla)'$ that has bounded commutator with $D$. This implies that the equivariant spectral triple under consideration does not admit a rational Poincaré dual in the sense of Moscovici, which in particular means that this spectral triple does not extend to a $K$-homology fundamental class for $SU_q(2)$. We also show that a minor modification of this equivariant spectral triple gives a fundamental class and thus implements Poincaré duality.
