For systems with this property, one can in principle compute the K-theory of the associated crossed product C^∗-algebra by splitting it up into simpler pieces and using the methods of controlled K-theory. The main part of the paper illustrates this idea by giving a new proof of the Baum-Connes conjecture for actions with finite dynamical complexity. The authors have tried to keep the volume as self-contained as possible and hope the main part will be accessible to someone with the equivalent of a first course in operator K-theory. In particular, they do not assume prior knowledge of controlled K-theory and use a new and concrete model for the Baum-Connes conjecture with coefficients that requires no bivariant K-theory to set up ER -
