Book Description:
|
This book contains a concise introduction to the techniques used to prove the Baum-Connes conjecture.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 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.
