The $KH$-Isomorphism Conjecture and Algebraic $KK$-theory

In this article we prove that the $KH$-asembly map, as defined by Bartels and L{"u}ck, can be described in terms of the algebraic $KK$-theory of Cortinas and Thom. The $KK$-theory description of the $KH$-assembly map is similar to that of the Baum-Connes assembly map. In very elementary cases, methods used to prove the Baum-Connes conjecture also apply to the $KH$-isomorphism conjecture.
