On the <i>K</i>-theory of the loop space of a Lie group
On the <i>K</i>-theory of the loop space of a Lie group
Let G be a simply connected, semi-simple, compact Lie group, let K * denote Z/2-graded, representable K -theory, and K * the corresponding homology theory. The K -theory of G and of its classifying space BG are well known, (8),(1). In contrast with ordinary cohomology, K *( G ) and …
