{wiki=Baum–Connes_conjecture}
The Baum–Connes conjecture is a significant proposal in the field of noncommutative geometry and topology, specifically relating to the theory of groups and operator algebras. Formulated by mathematicians Paul Baum and Alain Connes in the 1980s, the conjecture addresses the relationship between the K-theory of certain spaces and the geometry of the groups acting on those spaces.
