Continuously controlled \(K\)-theory with variable coefficients (Q1964149)

Using geometric modules with continuous control at infinity and variable coefficients a homology theory is constructed which is called \(K\)-theory with variable coefficients. It can be viewed as a kind of pushout of the previously defined theories given by boundedly controlled \(K\)-theory with variable coefficients and continuously controlled \(K\)-theory with constant coefficients over boundedly controlled \(K\)-theory with constant coefficients. The main motivation for the construction of this theory are possible applications to the study of stratified spaces. It is related to controlled \(K\)-theory. It is shown under suitable conditions that controlled \(K\)-theory is a Quinn homology.
