Proper Group Actions and the Baum-Connes Conjecture Paperback / softback
by Guido Mislin, Alain Valette
Part of the Advanced Courses in Mathematics - CRM Barcelona series
Paperback / softback
Description
A concise introduction to the techniques used to prove the Baum-Connes conjecture.
The Baum-Connes conjecture predicts that the K-homology of the reduced C^*-algebra of a group can be computed as the equivariant K-homology of the classifying space for proper actions.
The approach is expository, but it contains proofs of many basic results on topological K-homology and the K-theory of C^*-algebras.
It features a detailed introduction to Bredon homology for infinite groups, with applications to K-homology.
It also contains a detailed discussion of naturality questions concerning the assembly map, a topic not well documented in the literature.
The book is aimed at advanced graduate students and researchers in the area, leading to current research problems.
