{wiki=KK-theory}
KK-theory is a branch of algebraic topology that extends K-theory, which is a mathematical framework used to study vector bundles and their properties. Specifically, KK-theory was developed by the mathematician G. W. Lawson and is associated with the study of non-commutative geometry and operator algebras. At its core, KK-theory deals with the classification of certain types of topological spaces and their associated non-commutative spaces.
