What is the pointed Borel construction of the $0$-sphere?

From what I understand, the Borel construction takes a $G$-space $X$ and produces a topological space $X\times_{G}\mathbf{E}G$―the homotopy quotient $X/\!\!/G$ of $X$ by $G$ in the $\infty$-category ...

Equivariant $K$-theory and proper actions of discrete groups

The work of Lück and Oliver describes the generalization of equivariant $K$-theory to infinite discrete groups. When $X$ is a finite proper $G$-CW complex, there exist Bott isomorphisms $K^n_G(X)\cong ...
