| Oct 9, 2018 at 18:48 | comment | added | S. carmeli | Thanks for the observation. I will add this to the question if you don't mind, because it makes it much more natural to ask. For a Lie group, you know what is the precise relationship between $K_1^*BG$ and the representations of $G$? for a finite group I know that $KU$-cohomology is the completion of the representation ring, but for a Lie group or for its completion I don't know what is the relation. | |
