Abstract: | Suppose thatG is a second countable compact Lie group and thatA andB are commutativeG-C*-algebras. Then the Kasparov groupKK*G(A, B) is a bifunctor onG-spaces. It is computed here in terms of equivariant stable homotopy theory. This result is a consequence of a more general study of equivariant Spanier-Whitehead duality and uses in an essential way the extension of the Kasparov machinery to the setting of -G-C*-algebras. As a consequence, we show that if (X, x0) is a based separable compact metricG-ENR (such as a smooth compactG-manifold) and (Y, y0) is a based countableG-CW-complex then there is a natural isomorphism
