A Schur multiplier characterization of coarse embeddability

Group Theory 2016-09-19 v1 Metric Geometry

Abstract

We give a contractive Schur multiplier characterization of locally compact groups coarsely embeddable into Hilbert spaces. Consequently, all locally compact groups whose weak Haagerup constant is 1 embed coarsely into Hilbert spaces, and hence the Baum-Connes assembly map with coefficients is split-injective for such groups.
