| Title: | K-homology and operators on noncompact manifolds |
| Publication Information: | Unpublished preprint, 1989 |
| Abstract: | The purpose of this article is to develop in detail the main theme of the Atiyah/Kasparov approach to K-homology: that elliptic operators determine K-homology classes, in roughly the same sense that closed, oriented manifolds determine classes in ordinary homology, or closed differential forms determine classes in ordinary co-homology. The most significant aspect of the paper is our concern, throughout, with operators on general, open manifolds. |
