Prerequisite proofs

The course uses the complete supporting readings below. Each link is bound to its actual mathematical source and component terms in the source records. Included chapters retain their mathematical hypotheses, formulas, proof labels, attributions and component terms.

HA LCA

KT OPK

NCG CYCLIC

NCG FOLIATIONS

Representation and integration foundations

The repaired group and covariance readings are included with their five complete earlier foundation notes and the explicit bounded-form and separation corollaries. They supply the group representation correspondence, regular L1 faithfulness, faithful-coefficient norm independence, and the exact free-group norm gap used in Lessons 1, 2 and 4.

Bounded forms and finite-dimensional separation supplies the two standard corollaries used by the imported chapter.

Bivariant prerequisites

Lesson 4 has supplied programme proofs: KT-KK-18, Theorem 2.2 constructs full and reduced descent; Theorem 3.2 proves product compatibility; and Theorem 8.2 constructs both inverse KK-classes for the full-to-reduced quotient. The quotient theorem assumes a second-countable locally compact K-amenable group and separable graded coefficients. Theorem 9.2 covers finite- and countable-rank free groups; Theorem 9.5 covers free products of finitely or countably many countable discrete K-amenable groups. These proofs are online programme dependencies, not embedded in the KT-CP download. The descent proof uses the earlier universal, regular and amenable crossed-product constructions, not Lesson 4’s subsequent K-amenability application.

Lesson 12, Theorem 12.6 and equation (12.32), has a supplied proof: KT-KK-18, Lemma 5.1 and equations (5.2)–(5.3) fix the scalar sign and Takai Morita class; Theorem 6.1 and Proposition 6.2 prove both inverse identities and the Wiener–Hopf comparison. Lesson 12 explicitly converts the raw negative product to the positive double-product convention, compares regular-module models and proves the extension from separable to arbitrary coefficients. This KK proof is linked online, not embedded in the download.

Lesson 17 now uses supplied online proofs: KT-KK-21, Theorem 3.1, Lemma 4.1, Lemma 6.1 and Theorem 8.2 for separable E-theory composition, stability, the KK-to-E functor and extension exactness; KT-KK-22, Lemma 22.1, Theorem 22.2 and Proposition 22.4 for actual deformation families and their K-action; and KT-KK-13, Theorem 5.3, Proposition 7.2 and Corollary 7.3 for the compact-base Thom theorem and the outward-versus-ordered sign. Lesson 17, Proposition 17.9 proves the equality of its evaluation-inverse class and that actual family without a semisplitting assumption. These KK-course readers are online dependencies, not embedded in the download. The compact-base theorem does not replace the separate noncompact cycle proof in Lesson 17.

The following remaining assertions are conditional on proofs not included in this edition:

Component terms

The independently written AN-03 elliptic-analysis readings and original course figures carry CC0 1.0. Their rights notice, title page, history and CC0 dedication accompany them. Other components retain their individually stated terms. Linked Fremlin-based readings are CC0 and cite Fremlin.

The rendered selection adds course navigation, mathematical anchors and links. Reader presentation is by GPT-6.1 Sol (OpenAI), Ultra, October 2026; each component retains its specifically recorded terms. The original sources and notices accompany the selection.
