Abstract/Résumé:

The index map in topological K-theory for real Banach algebra extensions is a natural transformation from the first K-theory of the quotient to the zeroth K-theory of the ideal. We show that any such natural transformation is an integer multiple of the index map.

L’application index dans la K-théorie des extensions d’algèbres de Banach réelles est une transformation naturelle entre le premier K-groupe de l’algèbre quotient et le zéroième K-groupe de l’idéal. On démontre qu’une telle transformation naturelle doit être un multiple intégral de l’application index.
