A universal coefficient theorem in the setting of Kirchberg’s ideal-related KK -theory was obtained in the fundamental case of a Calgebra with one specified ideal by Bonkat in [1] and proved there to split, unnaturally, under certain conditions. Employing certain K-theoretical information derivable from the given operator algebras in a way introduced here, we shall demonstrate that Bonkat’s UCT...
