Abstract

We prove a blow-up formula for cyclic homology which we use to show that infinitesimal KK-theory satisfies cdhcdh-descent. Combining that result with some computations of the cdhcdh-cohomology of the sheaf of regular functions, we verify a conjecture of Weibel predicting the vanishing of algebraic KK-theory of a scheme in degrees less than minus the dimension of the scheme, for schemes essentially of finite type over a field of characteristic zero.
