Enlargeability and Index Theory: Infinite Covers
In [5] we showed non-vanishing of the universal index elements in the K-theory of the maximal C∗-algebras of the fundamental groups of enlargeable spin manifolds. The underlying notion of enlargeability was the one from [3], involving contracting maps defined on finite covers of the given manifolds. In the paper at hand, we weaken this assumption to the one in [4] where infinite covers are allo...
متن کاملEnlargeability and index theory
Let M be a closed enlargeable spin manifold. We show nontriviality of the universal index obstruction in the K-theory of the maximal C-algebra of the fundamental group of M . Our proof is independent from the injectivity of the Baum-Connes assembly map for π1(M) and relies on the construction of a certain infinite dimensional flat vector bundle out of a sequence of finite dimensional vector bun...
متن کاملOn splitting infinite-fold covers
Let X be a set, κ be a cardinal number and let H be a family of subsets of X which covers each x ∈ X at least κ times. What assumptions can ensure that H can be decomposed into κ many disjoint subcovers? We examine this problem under various assumptions on the set X and on the cover H: among other situations, we consider covers of topological spaces by closed sets, interval covers of linearly o...
متن کاملFiltered Ends of Infinite Covers and Groups
Let f : A → B be a covering map. We say A has e filtered ends with respect to f (or B) if for some filtration {Kn} of B by compact subsets, A − f(Kn) “eventually” has e components. The main theorem states that if Y is a (suitable) free H-space, if K < H has infinite index, and if Y has a positive finite number of filtered ends with respect to H\Y , then Y has one filtered end with respect to K\...

Let X be a set, κ be a cardinal number and let H a family of subsets of X which covers each x ∈ X at least κ times. Under what assumptions can we decompose H into κ many disjoint subcovers? We examine this problem under various assumptions on the set X and on the cover H: among other situations we consider covers of topological spaces by closed sets, interval covers of linearly ordered sets and...
