$*$-algebras, completions, and $K$-theory

Any infinite discrete group $\Gamma$ with Kazhdan's property (T) gives an example. Since it is not amenable, the full and reduced C*-algebras (which are both completions of the group algebra) do not ...

K-Theory of $C^{*}(X)$

The group you describe should be the infinite symmetric group $S_{\infty}$. The $K$-theory of its $C^*$-algebra has been determined by Kerov and Vershik in The K -functor (Grothendieck group) of the ...

Role of the UCT problem in classification theory for C*-algebras

Remark: The UCT-sequence is not correct as you stated it, it does not only involve the $K_0$-groups. Regarding your second quastion: I highly recommend the book "Classification of nuclear $C^*$-...

Bass and Quillen K-theory

I read that Bass K-theory is sometimes called the non-connective K-theory Basically, Quillen $K$-theory can be viewed as a spectrum (in the sense of topology), instead of just as a space (this is an ...

example of a non-amenable l.c. group such that $C_r^*(G)$ satisfies the UCT

Both $C^\ast(\mathbb F_2)$ and $C^\ast_r(\mathbb F_2)$ satisfy the UCT. This is the special case of the following: $\mathbf{Theorem}$. If $G$ and $H$ are countable, discrete, amenable groups, then $C^...

Is there a categorical version of the splitting principle?

I don't think there can be a reasonable such splitting principle, even in the weakest sense you asked about (i.e. $K_0(\mathsf R) \to K_0(\mathsf R')$ is injective) and in the case when the ground ...

Morita equivalence of the invariant uniform Roe algebra and the reduced group C*-algebra

To define the Roe algebra abstractly, we need a suitable covariant representation of the $\Gamma$-$C^\ast$-algebra $(C_0(X), \Gamma)$ on some Hilbert space $H$. In concrete situations, one usually ...

reference for KK theory

If you want to learn more about KK-theory there is a book by Kjeld Knudsen Jensen and Klaus Thomsen with the title "Elements of KK-theory". You can have a look there. I would also recommend those ...

description of a map in KK-theory

I don't think that there is anything special about $\mathcal O_\infty$ being used here. One observation that might help is that the map $KK(A, \mathcal O_\infty)\to KK(\mathbb C, \mathcal O_\infty)$ ...

How to define an equivariant Kasparov's KK-theory map?

Isn't this treated in Claude Schochet's 1992 paper "On Equivariant Kasparov Theory and Spanier-Whitehead Duality"? Also, if you want more references, I'd recommend using Google Scholar to ...

Producing $K$-homology cycles from $KK$-cycles

Here are just some trivial observations that came to mind after thinking about this a little longer: You are essentially asking for a canonical class in the $K$-homology group $K^0(B) = KK(B,\mathbb{C}...

Différences between KKO and KKR in Kasparov theory

I think the difference is because one has real Clifford algebras $Cl_{p,q}(\mathbb{R})$ (indexed by two variables $p,q$), but only complex Clifford algebras $Cl_n(\mathbb{C})$. My main concern is ...

Self adjoint operators in Kasparov-Modules

What is meant is that $T$ and $(T+T^*)/2$ differ by a compact operator. More precisely: $$\pi(a) (T - (T+T^*)/2)= \pi(a) (T/2 - T^*/2) \equiv \pi(a) (T/2-T/2)=0$$ for all $a \in A$ modulo $K(E)$, ...

Homotopy equivalence of Kasparov's $KK$-Theory

It is really the same thing as for ordinary homotopy. Mainly a concatenation. I will write for a space $X$, $XB$ the algebra of continous functions from $X$ to $B$. All the other notations follow ...
