Categorical Aspects of Bivariant K-theory
نویسنده
چکیده
This survey article on bivariant Kasparov theory and E-theory is mainly intended for readers with a background in homotopical algebra and category theory. We approach both bivariant K-theories via their universal properties and equip them with extra structure such as a tensor product and a triangulated category structure. We discuss the construction of the Baum– Connes assembly map via localisation of categories and explain how this is related to the purely topological construction by Davis and Lück.

, Duality and D - Branes in Bivariant K - Theory
We describe a categorical framework for the classification of D-branes on noncommutative spaces using techniques from bivariant K-theory of C∗-algebras. We present a new description of bivariant K-theory in terms of noncommutative correspondences which is nicely adapted to the study of T-duality in open string theory. We systematically use the diagram calculus for bivariant K-theory as detailed...
متن کاملBivariant K-theory via Correspondences
We use correspondences to define a purely topological equivariant bivariant K-theory for spaces with a proper groupoid action. Our notion of correspondence differs slightly from that of Connes and Skandalis. We replace smooth K-oriented maps by a class of K-oriented normal maps, which are maps together with a certain factorisation. Our construction does not use any special features of equivaria...
متن کاملAlgebraic Kasparov K - theory . I
This paper is to construct unstable, Morita stable and stable bivariant algebraic Kasparov K-theory spectra of k-algebras. These are shown to be homotopy invariant, excisive in each variable K-theories. We prove that the spectra represent universal unstable, Morita stable and stable bivariant homology theories respectively. 2010 Mathematics Subject Classification: 19D99, 19K35, 55P42
متن کاملRetraction of the Bivariant Chern Character
We show that the bivariant Chern character in entire cyclic cohomology constructed in a previous paper in terms of superconnections and heat kernel regularization, retracts on periodic cocycles under some finite summability conditions. The trick is a bivariant generalization of the Connes-Moscovici method for finitely summable K-cycles. This yields concrete formulas for the Chern character of p...
متن کاملFinite and Torsion Kk-theories
We develop a finite KK-theory of C∗-algebras following ArlettazH.Inassaridze’s approach to finite algebraic K-theory [1] . The BrowderKaroubi-Lambre’s theorem on the orders of the elements for finite algebraic K-theory [ , ] is extended to finite KK-theory. A new bivariant theory, called torsion KK-theory is defined as the direct limit of finite KK-theories. Such bivariant K-theory has almost a...
