Apr 18, 2017 at 11:45 comment added Gabor Szabo Oops -- I think I was confused about something there. Sorry about that.
Apr 16, 2017 at 21:21 comment added Rasmus @GaborSzabo Ext doesn't vanish for finitely generated abelian groups, for instance $\mathrm{Ext}(\mathbb Z/2,\mathbb Z/2)\cong\mathbb Z/2$.
Mar 8, 2017 at 6:56 comment added Gabor Szabo I think the UCT-answer in Paul's link is the canonical one here. Note that the Ext-part vanishes in many interesting cases, such as for instance when $K_*(A)$ is finitely generated, so all you are left with is the usual Hom-set of endomorphisms on $K_*(A)$.
Mar 7, 2017 at 23:42 comment added Sabrina Gemsa @PaulSiegel thank you. Well, now that you mention it, I have never seen calculations of $KK(A,B)$ in non-trivial cases as well (I wasn't aware of it). I have seen some calculations using the universal coefficient theorem, but mostly in order to calculate the $K$-theory of $C^*$-algebras. (Thus, I guess that the answer of question 1. is "no" for non-trivial cases )
Mar 7, 2017 at 19:44 comment added Paul Siegel I asked an even less ambitious question several years ago, and the answers there might help with your question. mathoverflow.net/questions/51203/…
