Abstract

Let AA be an augmented differential graded algebra over a field kk of characteristic zero, and let A!=RHomA(k,k)A^!=\mathbf{R}\mathrm{Hom}_A(k,k) be its Koszul dual algebra. Blumberg and Mandell showed that, under some finiteness conditions of AA, the derived Koszul duality provides an equivalence between the KK-theory K(thickA(k))K(\mathrm{thick}_A(k)) of the triangulated thick subcategory generated by kk and the KK-theory K(A!)K(A^!) of the derived category of perfect A!A^!-modules. Combining this equivalence with the Jones-Goodwillie Chern character and the Jones-McCleary isomorphism, we obtain that the KK-groups Kn(thickA(k))K_n(\mathrm{thick}_A(k)) are a concrete candidate for Loday's conjectural contravariant KK-groups.
