Abstract
We construct a slant product on the analytic structure group of Higson and Roe and the K-theory of the stable Higson compactification taking values in the (equivariant) Roe algebra. This complements the slant products constructed in earlier work of Engel and the authors ( arXiv:1909.03777 [math.KT] ). The distinguishing feature of our new slant product is that it specializes to a duality pairing which can be used to extract numerical invariants out of elements in the analytic structure group such as rho-invariants associated to positive scalar curvature metrics.
