Abstract

Let A be a unital complex C* algebra, L*(A) the projective symmetric surgery groups, and K*(A) topological K theory. We define groups B*(A) of bordism classes of Fredholm complexes over A with Poincaré duality. These generalize the de Rham complex. It is shown that there are isomorphisms B*(A)rarrK* (A) and B*(A)rarr L*(A) given by abstract versions of the signature operator and symmetric signature. The remaining side of a triangle is formed by an isomorphism due to Miscircccircenko.
