We prove the deformation invariance of the quantum homogeneous spaces of the
q-deformation of simply connected simple compact Lie groups over the
Poisson-Lie quantum subgroups, in the equivariant KK-theory with respect to the
translation action by maximal tori. This extends a result of Neshveyev-Tuset to
the equivariant setting. As applications, we prove the ring isomorphism of the
K-group of Gq with respect to the coproduct of C(Gq), and an analogue of the
Borsuk-Ulam theorem for quantum spheres.Comment: 21 page
