Preface This volume records most of the talks given at the Conference on K-theory and Operator Algebras held at the University of Georgia in Athe ns, Georgia, April 21April 25, 1975.
The purpose of the conference was to
review the known connections between operator theory and K-theory and explore possible new ones.
Consequently,
some o f the papers present historical background, some develop new ideas, some are expository in an attempt to acquaint experts in the one field with recent developments in the other, and some pose new problems which further developments might solve. We are happy to express our thanks to the National Science Foundation for sponsoring the meeting, to the University of Georgia for providing funds for additional participants, to the Mathematics Department for its gracious hospitality, Ms. Ann
t o Ms. Teddy Schultz, Ms. Carol Ledbetter and
Ware for the typing, to the authors for their
manuscripts and their patien ce , and to Springer-Verlag f or publishing this volume. Bernard Morrel I. M. Singer
