Opis: 
Roughly a quarter of (Riemannian) symmetric spaces are hermitian and of non-compact type. Each such manifold carries an algebraic structure on its tangent bundle which is similar to (more general than) the algebraic structure of a C*-algebra.
We exploit this similarity in order to apply K-theoretical methods to the classification of these manifolds. Whereas this technique reproduces well-known results in finite dimensions, it is still viable for infinite dimensional manifolds and can here be used to e.g. give a K-theoretical classification of inductive limits of bounded symmetric domains.
