The Universal Property of Equivariant Kk-theory
نویسنده
چکیده
Let G be a locally compact, σ-compact group. We prove that the equivariant KK-theory, KK, is the universal category for functors from G-algebras to abelian groups which are stable, homotopy invariant and split-exact. This is a generalization of Higsons characterisation of (non-equivariant) KK-theory.

Equivariant Kasparov Theory and Generalized Homomorphisms
Let G be a locally compact group. We describe elements of KK(A,B) by equivariant homomorphisms, following Cuntz’s treatment in the non-equivariant case. This yields another proof for the universal property of KK: It is the universal split exact stable homotopy functor. To describe a Kasparov triple (E, φ, F ) for A,B by an equivariant homomorphism, we have to arrange for the Fredholm operator F...
متن کاملCoactions of Hopf-C-algebras and equivariant E-theory
We define and study an equivariant E-theory with respect to coactions of Hopf C-algebras; we prove the Baaj-Skandalis duality in this setting. We show that the corresponding equivariant KK-theory of Baaj and Skandalis enjoys an universal property. In the appendix, we look at the different ways of expressing equivariant stability for a functor, and prove an equivariant BrownGreen-Rieffel stabili...
متن کاملRestriction to Finite-index Subgroups as Étale Extensions in Topology, Kk-theory and Geometry
For equivariant stable homotopy theory, equivariant KK-theory and equivariant derived categories, we show how restriction to a subgroup of finite index yields a finite commutative separable extension, analogous to finite étale extensions in algebraic geometry.
متن کاملBivariant K-theory for Smooth Manifolds I Lectures By: Heath Emerson (joint Work with Ralf Meyer) Notes By: Robin Deeley and Elkaioum Moutuou
A. The aim of this talk and the next is to explain two important aspects of equivariant Kasparov theory, especially for smooth manifolds: duality, and the topological description of equivariant KK-groups using equivariant correspondences. In the first talk we will review the basic definitions of KK-theory, including the Thom isomorphism. We then explain duality, which gives a way of redu...
متن کاملDuality, Correspondences and the Lefschetz Map in Equivariant Kk-theory: a Survey
We survey work by the author and Ralf Meyer on equivariant KKtheory. Duality plays a key role in our approach. We organize the survey around the objective of computing a certain homotopy-invariant of a space equipped with a proper action of a group or groupoid called the Lefschetz map. The latter associates an equivariant K-homology class to an equivariant Kasparov self-morphism of a space X ad...
