Lecture notes for the course Introduction to KK-theory.- LaTeXed lecture notes (typed by Lin Shan)
- Hilbert modules, adjoinable and compact operators (handwritten)
- Kasparov's stabilisation theorem, tensor products, graded algebras (handwritten)
- Definition of KK-theory, basic properties such as bifunctoriality (handwritten)
- The standard simplifications, the Fredholm picture, KK(\C,B) = K_0(B) (three sketches) (handwritten)
- The Kasparov product: connections, existence (handwritten)
- The Kasparov product: existence continued, a useful lemma (handwritten)
- The Kasparov product: existence (LaTeXed notes for a seminar talk (2004), revised version)
- Overview: The general form of the Kasparov product, long exact sequences
- Bott peridocity of KK-theory (LaTeXed version)
- An informal account of KKban (handwritten notes by Elkaioum Moutuou, thanks!)
Note that the partitioning of the lecture notes does not correspond to individual lectures but rather to natural chapters. Lin Shan has typed most of the lecture notes, so (most of) the handwritten notes are redundant. Thank you, Lin!
As I did not cover the construction of the homotopy between gamma and 1 in KKban in my talk on KKban I would like to draw your attention to the lecture notes by Georges Skandalis of the fourth in a series of four talks on KK-theory given in the course of the Sixth Anual Spring Institute on Noncommutative Geometry And Operator Algebras 2008 at Vanderbilt University, Nashville.
