2 Let X be a compact C manifold without boundary. X is not required to be oriented. X is not required to be even dimensional. On X let δ : C (X, E 0 ) C (X, E 1 ) be an elliptic differential (or pseudo-differential) operator. (S(T X 1 R ), E σ ) K 0 ( ), and Index(D Eσ ) = Index(δ). Paul Baum (Penn State) WHAT IS K-HOMOLOGY? April 2, / 56
3 (S(T X 1 R ), E σ ) Index(δ) = (ch(e σ ) Td((S(T X 1 R )))[(S(T X 1 R )] and this is the general Atiyah-Singer formula. S(T X 1 R ) is the unit sphere bundle of T X 1 R. S(T X 1 R ) is even dimensional and is in a natural way a Spin c manifold. E σ is the C vector bundle on S(T X 1 R ) obtained by doing a clutching construction using the symbol σ of δ.

5 K-homology in algebraic geometry Let X be a (possibly singular) projective algebraic variety / C. Grothendieck defined two abelian groups: Kalg 0 (X) = Grothendieck group of algebraic vector bundles on X. K alg 0 (X) = Grothendieck group of coherent algebraic sheaves on X. Kalg 0 (X) = the algebraic geometry K-theory of X (contravariant). K alg 0 (X) = the algebraic geometry K-homology of X (covariant). Paul Baum (Penn State) WHAT IS K-HOMOLOGY? April 2, / 56

7 K-homology is the dual theory to K-theory. There are three ways in which K-homology in topology has been defined: Homotopy Theory K-theory is the cohomology theory and K-homology is the homology theory determined by the Bott (i.e. K-theory) spectrum. This is the spectrum..., Z BU, U, Z BU, U,... K-Cycles K-homology is the group of K-cycles. C -algebras K-homology is the Atiyah-BDF-Kasparov group KK (A, C).
