dc.descriptionSuppose that A is a separable C*-algebra and that G_* is a (graded) subgroup of K_*(A). Then there is a natural short exact sequence 0 \to G_* \to K_*(A) \to K_*(A)/G_* \to 0. In this note we demonstrate how to geometrically realize this sequence at the level of C*-algebras. As a result, we KK-theoretically decompose A as 0 \to A\otimes \Cal K \to A_f \to SA_t \to 0 where K_*(A_t) is the torsion subgroup of K_*(A) and K_*(A_f) is its torsionfree quotient. Then we further decompose A_t : it is KK-equivalent to \oplus_p A_p where K_*(A_p) is the p-primary subgroup of the torsion subgroup of K_*(A). We then apply this realization to study the Kasparov group K^*(A) and related objects.
