Coarse Baum-Connes conjecture and rigidity for Roe algebras

The coarse Baum–Connes conjecture and groupoids. II

Given a (not necessarily discrete) proper metric space M with bounded geometry, we define a groupoid G(M). We show that the coarse Baum–Connes conjecture with coefficients, which states that the assembly map with coefficients for G(M) is an isomorphism, is hereditary by taking closed subspaces.

The Baum-connes Conjecture for Hyperbolic Groups

The Baum-Connes conjecture states that, for a discrete group G, the K-homology groups of the classifying space for proper G-action is isomorphic to the K-groups of the reduced group C-algebra of G [3, 2]. A positive answer to the Baum-Connes conjecture would provide a complete solution to the problem of computing higher indices of elliptic operators on compact manifolds. The rational injectivit...

Deformation Quantization and the Baum–Connes Conjecture

Alternative titles of this paper would have been “Index theory without index” or “The Baum–Connes conjecture without Baum.” In 1989, Rieffel introduced an analytic version of deformation quantization based on the use of continuous fields ofC∗-algebras. We review how a wide variety of examples of such quantizations can be understood on the basis of a single lemma involving amenable groupoids. Th...

Some Remarks Concerning the Baum-Connes Conjecture

P. Baum and A. Connes have made a deep conjecture about the calculation of the K-theory of certain types of C∗-algebras [1, 2]. In particular, for a discrete group Γ they have conjectured the calculation of K∗(C r (Γ)), the Ktheory of the reduced C∗-algebra of Γ. So far, there is quite little evidence for this conjecture. For example, there is not a single property T group for which it is known...
