The equivariant coarse Novikov conjectures stand among a handful profound $K$-theoretic conjectures in noncommutative geometry. Motivated by the quest to verify Novikov-type conjectures for groups of diffeomorphisms, we study in this paper…
The coarse geometric Novikov conjecture provides an algorithm to determine when the higher index of an elliptic operator on a noncompact space is nonzero. The purpose of this paper is to prove the coarse geometric Novikov conjecture for…
In this paper, we develop a groupoid approach to the equivariant coarse Baum--Connes conjecture. For a bounded geometry metric space $X$ equipped with a proper, free, and isometric action of a countable discrete group $\Gamma$, we introduce…
In this paper, we prove the coarse geometric $\ell^p$-Novikov Conjecture for metric spaces with bounded geometry which admit a coarse embedding into a simply connected complete Riemannian manifold of nonpositive sectional curvature.
Let $(1\to N_n\to G_n\to Q_n \to 1)_{n\in \mathbb{N}}$ be a sequence of extensions of countable discrete groups. Endow $(G_n)_{n\in \mathbb{N}}$ with metrics associated to proper length functions on $(G_n)_{n\in \mathbb{N}}$ respectively…
The equivariant coarse Baum-Connes conjecture interpolates between the Baum-Connes conjecture for a discrete group and the coarse Baum-Connes conjecture for a proper metric space. In this paper, we study this conjecture under certain…
We prove that the Novikov conjecture holds for any discrete group admitting an isometric and metrically proper action on an admissible Hilbert-Hadamard space. Admissible Hilbert-Hadamard spaces are a class of (possibly infinite-dimensional)…
Let $1 \to N \to G \to G/N \to 1$ be a short exact sequence of countable discrete groups and let $B$ be any $G$-$C^*$-algebra. In this paper, we show that the strong Novikov conjecture with coefficients in $B$ holds for such a group $G$…
In this paper, we prove the Novikov conjecture for a class of highly non-linear groups, namely discrete subgroups of the diffeomorphism group of a compact smooth manifold. This removes the volume-preserving condition in a previous work.…
The equivariant coarse Baum-Connes conjecture was firstly introduced by Roe [29] as a unified way to approach both the Baum-Connes conjecture and its coarse counterpart. In this paper, we prove that if an a-T-menable group $\Gamma$ acts…
The relative Novikov conjecture states that the relative higher signatures of manifolds with boundary are invariant under orientation-preserving homotopy equivalences of pairs. In this paper, we study the relative Baum-Connes assembly map…
We define for families of finite metric spaces quantitative assembly map estimates that take into account propagation phenomena for pseudo-differential calculus. We relate these estimates to the Novikov conjecture and we show that they fit…
The main result of this paper is the $G$-homotopy invariance of the $G$-index of signature operator of proper co-compact $G$-manifolds. If proper co-compact $G$ manifolds $X$ and $Y$ are $G$-homotopy equivalent, then we prove that the…
We prove the Novikov conjecture on oriented Cheeger spaces whose fundamental group satisfies the strong Novikov conjecture. A Cheeger space is a stratified pseudomanifold admitting, through a choice of ideal boundary conditions, an L2-de…
We formulate and prove a Bott periodicity theorem for an $\ell^p$-space ($1\leq p<\infty$). For a proper metric space $X$ with bounded geometry, we introduce a version of $K$-homology at infinity, denoted by $K_*^{\infty}(X)$, and the Roe…
In this article we formulate a version of the analytic Novikov conjecture for semigroups rather than groups, and show that the descent argument from coarse geometry generalises effectively to this new situation.
We prove an equivariant version of the classical Menger-Nobeling theorem regarding topological embeddings: Whenever a group $G$ acts on a finite-dimensional compact metric space $X$, a generic continuous equivariant function from $X$ into…
Brown-Guentner and Haagerup-Przybyszewska showed that every discrete group admits a proper affine isometric action on the universal Banach space $\bigoplus_{p=1}^{\infty} \ell^{2p}(\mathbb{N}),$ taken as the $\ell^{2}$-direct sum, and hence…
We introduce an analogue of the Novikov Conjecture on higher signatures in the context of the algebraic geometry of (nonsingular) complex projective varieties. This conjecture asserts that certain "higher Todd genera" are birational…
The Baum-Connes assembly map with coefficients $e_{\ast}$ and the Mishchenko-Kasparov assembly map with coefficients $\mu_{\ast}$ are two homomorphisms from the equivariant $K$-homology of classifying spaces of groups to the $K$-theory of…
