We discuss the analytic aspects of the geometric model for K-homology with coefficients in ℤ/kℤ constructed in [12]. In particular, using results of Rosenberg and Schochet, we construct a map from this geometric model to its analytic counterpart. Moreover, we show that this map is an isomorphism in the case of a finite CW-complex. The relationship between this map and the Freed-Melrose index theorem is also discussed. Many of these results are analogous to those of Baum and Douglas in the case of spinc manifolds, geometric K-homology, and Atiyah-Singer index theorem.

We construct a Baum-Douglas type model for K-homology with coefficients in ℤ/kℤ. The basic geometric object in a cycle is a spinc ℤ/kℤ-manifold. The relationship between these cycles and the topological side of the Freed-Melrose index theorem is discussed in detail. Finally, using inductive limits, we construct geometric models for K-homology with coefficients in any countable abelian group.
