On an intermediate bivariant K-theory for C^*-algebras

Publication date 22 November 2016

Abstract: We construct a new bivariant theory, that we call

K E

-theory, which is intermediate between the

K K

-theory of G. G. Kasparov, and the

E

-theory of A. Connes and N. Higson. For each pair of separable graded

C^{*}

-algebras

A

and

B

, acted upon by a locally compact

s i g m a

-compact group

G

, we define an abelian group

K E_{G} (A, B)

. We show that there is an associative product

K E_{G} (A, D) o t i m e s K E_{G} (D, B) o K E_{G} (A, B)

. Various functoriality properties of the

K E

-theory groups and of the product are presented. The new theory has a simpler product than

K K

-theory and there are natural transformations

K K_{G} o K E_{G}

and

K E_{G} o E_{G}

. The complete description of these maps will form the substance of a second paper.
