This is the second of a series of three papers whose objective is to
describe a C*-algebraic counterpart to the surgery exact sequence of
Browder, Novikov, Sullivan and Wall. In the first paper, we defined
an analytic signature invariant in C*-algebra K-theory. Such an invariant
is associated to any analytically controlled Hilbert-Poincare complex, and
it has homotopy invariance and bordism invariance properties in this
analytic context.
In this second paper we will show that analytically controlled
Hilbert-Poincare complexes arise naturally from various geometric constructions.
