Download or read book Cyclic Homology in Non-Commutative Geometry written by Joachim Cuntz and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2003-11-17 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contributions by three authors treat aspects of noncommutative geometry that are related to cyclic homology. The authors give rather complete accounts of cyclic theory from different points of view. The connections between (bivariant) K-theory and cyclic theory via generalized Chern-characters are discussed in detail. Cyclic theory is the natural setting for a variety of general abstract index theorems. A survey of such index theorems is given and the concepts and ideas involved in these theorems are explained.
