 | | Recent work by Cuntz and Quillen on bivariant periodic cyclic homology has caused quite a revolution in the subject. |
 | | In this self-contained exposition, the author's purpose is to understand the functorial properties of the Cuntz-Quillen theory, which motivaties his explorations of what he calls cyclic pro-homology.Simply stated, the cyclic pro-homology of an (associative) algebra A is short for the Z/2 Z-graded inverse system of cyclic homology groups of A, considered as a pro-vector space. |
 | | It is interesting to note that for the excision result, this lifting procedure goes through without constraints.For those new to cyclic homology, Dr. Grønbaek takes care to provide an introduction to the subject, including the motivation for the theory, definitions, and fundamental results, and establishes the homological machinery needed for application to the Cuntz-Quillen theory. |
