Abstract

Combining Kasparov's generalization of a theorem of Voiculescu and Cuntz's description of KK-theory in terms of quasihomomorphisms (sections one and two), we give a simple construction of the Kasparov product (section three). This construction will be generalized in [Gre] to give a version of the product for so-called locally convex Kasparov modules over locally convex algebras in order to treat products of certain universal cycles.
