报告摘要:

We introduce the K-theory groups of a C∗-algebra and explain its basic properties. In a nutshell, the group K0(A) classifies A-modules (finitely generated projective) and K1(A) classifies automorphisms of the trivial modules. These come up in numerous situations, and at the same time provide information about the structure of the algebra A. We give a glimpse at computation tools and at first applications.

Plan

• Long exact sequence of an extension

• Matrix and compact operator stability

• Product structure

• Bott periodicity

• Sample calculations (Calkin index sequence)

• A glimpse at the Elliot classification program
