The bordism group of unbounded KK-cycles

• © 2018 World Scientific Publishing Company We consider Hilsum’s notion of bordism as an equivalence relation on unbounded (Formula presented.)-cycles and study the equivalence classes. Upon fixing two (Formula presented.)-algebras, and a ∗-subalgebra dense in the first (Formula presented.)-algebra, a (Formula presented.)-graded abelian group is obtained; it maps to the Kasparov (Formula presented.)-group of the two (Formula presented.)-algebras via the bounded transform. We study properties of this map both in general and in specific examples. In particular, it is an isomorphism if the first (Formula presented.)-algebra is the complex numbers (i.e. for (Formula presented.)-theory) and is a split surjection if the first (Formula presented.)-algebra is the continuous functions on a compact manifold with boundary when one uses the Lipschitz functions as the dense ∗-subalgebra.
