Homotopy equivalence in unbounded KK-theory (1907.04049v2)

Published 9 Jul 2019 in math.KT and math.OA

Abstract: We propose a new notion of unbounded $K!K$-cycle, mildly generalising unbounded Kasparov modules, for which the direct sum is well-defined. To a pair $(A,B)$ of $\sigma$-unital $C{*}$-algebras, we can then associate a semigroup $\overline{U!K!K}(A,B)$ of homotopy equivalence classes of unbounded cycles, and we prove that this semigroup is in fact an abelian group. In case $A$ is separable, our group $\overline{U!K!K}(A,B)$ is isomorphic to Kasparov's $K!K$-theory group $K!K(A,B)$ via the bounded transform. We also discuss various notions of degenerate cycles, and we prove that the homotopy relation on unbounded cycles coincides with the relation generated by operator-homotopies and addition of degenerate cycles.
