Loday's proposal for contravariant algebraic K-theory

Let AA be a differential graded algebra. Suppose there are KK-contravariant groups Kn(A)K^n(A) and a Chern character

ch:Kn(A)HCn(A).\mathrm{ch}^*:K^n(A)\to HC^n(A).

Loday's proposal. These data should satisfy

π,ξK=ch(π),ch(ξ)cyc,\langle\pi,\xi\rangle_K=\langle\mathrm{ch}^*(\pi),\mathrm{ch}_*(\xi)\rangle_{\mathrm{cyc}},

where ,K\langle-,-\rangle_K denotes a prospective pairing in KK-theory.

The proposal seeks a contravariant version of algebraic KK-theory related to cyclic cohomology through a Chern character and compatible pairings. The source does not provide evidence resolving the proposal.
