K-Theory for Operator Algebras

K -Theory has revolutionized the study of operator algebras in the last few years. As the primary component of the subject of "noncommutative topol­ ogy," K -theory has opened vast new vistas within the structure theory of C*­ algebras, as well as leading to profound and unexpected applications of opera­ tor algebras to problems in geometry and topology. As a result, many topolo­ gists and operato...
