Homotopy Theory of C*-Algebras

TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose a C*-homotopy theory for C *-spectra, which is based on the Chern-Connes-Karoubi character.

Crossed products, the Mackey-Rieffel-Green machine and applications

TL;DR: In this paper, the ideal structure and representation theory of crossed products by locally compact groups on C*-algebras is introduced. But the authors do not give complete proofs of all results, they try at least to explain the main ideas.

Nonstable K-theory for Z-stable C*-algebras

TL;DR: For non-unital Z-stable C^*-algebras, the homotopy groups of the group U(A) of unitaries in A are stable invariants.

Coordinate systems and bounded isomorphisms

TL;DR: In this article, the authors define E 1 (M) as the collection of norm-one eigenvectors for the dual action of D on the Banach space dual M #.
