Abstract: We construct equivariant $KK$-theory with coefficients in $mathbbR$ and $mathbbR/mathbbZ$ as suitable inductive limits over ${mII}_1$-factors. We show that the Kasparov product, together with its usual functorial properties, extends to $KK$-theory with real coefficients. Let $Gamma$ be a group. We define a $Gamma$-algebra $A$ to be $K$-theoretically free and proper (KFP) if the group trace $$ of $Gamma$ acts as the unit element in $K{K}_{mathbbR}^{Gamma}(A,A)$. We show that free and proper $Gamma$-algebras (in the sense of Kasparov) have the (KFP) property. Moreover, if $Gamma$ is torsion free and satisfies the $K{K}^{G}amma$-form of the Baum-Connes conjecture, then every $Gamma$-algebra satisfies (KFP). If $alpha:Gammao{U}_n$ is a unitary representation and $A$ satisfies property (KFP), we construct in a canonical way a rho class $h{o}_{a}lph{a}^{A}inK{K}_{mathbbR/mathbbZ}^{1,Gamma}(A,A)$. This construction generalizes the Atiyah-Patodi-Singer $K$-theory class with $mathbbR/mathbbZ$ coefficients associated to $alpha$.
