The strongly quasi-local coarse Novikov conjecture and Banach spaces with Property (H)

Abstract

In this paper, we introduce a strongly quasi-local version of the coarse Novikov conjecture, which states that a certain assembly map from the coarse K-homology of a metric space to the K-theory of its strongly quasi-local algebra is injective. We prove that the conjecture holds for metric spaces with bounded geometry which can be coarsely embedded into Banach spaces with Property (H), as introduced by Kasparov and Yu. We also generalize the notion of strong quasi-locality to proper metric spaces and provide a (strongly) quasi-local picture for K-homology.
