which is bilinear with respect to the additive group structures. In particular each element of KK(A, B) gives a homomorphism of K * (A) → K * (B) and another homomorphism K*(B) → K*(A). The product can be defined much more easily in the Cuntz picture given that there are natural maps from QA to A, and from B to K(H) ⊗ B that induce KK ...
