Full Description
This volume is an introductory textbook to K-theory, both algebraic and topological, and to various current research topics within
the field, including Kasparov's bivariant K-theory, the Baum-Connes conjecture, the comparison between algebraic and topological K-theory of topological algebras, the K-theory of schemes, and the theory of dg-categories.
