On the Connes-Kasparov isomorphism, II: The Vogan classification of essential components in the tempered dual

Abstract

This is the second of two papers dedicated to the computation of the reduced C*-algebra of a connected, linear, real reductive group up to C*-algebraic Morita equivalence, and the verification of the Connes-Kasparov conjecture for these groups. These results were originally announced by Antony Wassermann in 1987. In Part I we presented the Morita equivalence and the Connes-Kasparov morphism. In this part we shall compute the morphism using David Vogan's description of the tempered dual.
