The stabilization theorem for proper groupoids
arXiv:0909.3951
Abstract
The stabilization theorem for -Hilbert modules was established by G. G. Kasparov. The equivariant version, in which a locally compact group acts properly on a locally compact space , was proved by N. C. Phillips. This equivariant theorem involves the Hilbert -module . It can naturally be interpreted in terms of a stabilization theorem for proper groupoids, and the paper establishes this theorem within the general proper groupoid context. The theorem has applications in equivariant KK-theory and groupoid index theory.
