Geometrization of the Strong Novikov Conjecture for residually finite groups
In this paper, we prove that the Strong Novikov Conjecture for a residually finite group is essentially equivalent to the Coarse Geometric Novikov Conjecture for a certain metric space associated to the group. As an application, we obtain the Coarse Geometric Novikov Conjecture for a large class of sequences of expanders.
متن کاملThe Novikov conjecture and groups with finite asymptotic dimension ∗
Recall that the asymptotic dimension is a coarse geometric analogue of the covering dimension in topology [14]. More precisely, the asymptotic dimension for a metric space is the smallest integer n such that for any r > 0, there exists a uniformly bounded cover C = {Ui}i∈I of the metric space for which the rmultiplicity of C is at most n + 1, i.e. no ball of radius r in the metric space interse...
متن کاملThe Asymptotic Method in the Novikov Conjecture
The famous Hirzebruch signature theorem asserts that the signature of a closed oriented manifold is equal to the integral of the so called L-genus. An immediate corollary of this is the homotopy invariance of < L(M); [M ] >. The L-genus is a characteristic class of tangent bundles, so the above remark is a non-trivial fact. The problem of higher signatures is a generalization of the above consi...
متن کاملThe Integral K -theoretic Novikov Conjecture for Groups with Finite Asymptotic Dimension
The integral assembly map in algebraic K-theory is split injective for any geometrically finite discrete group with finite asymptotic dimension. The goal of this paper is to apply the techniques developed by the first author in [3] to verify the integral Novikov conjecture for groups with finite asymptotic dimension as defined by M. Gromov [9]. Recall that a finitely generated group Γ can be vi...
متن کاملAn Etale Approach to the Novikov Conjecture
We show that the rational Novikov conjecture for a group Γ of finite homological type follows from the mod 2 acyclicity of the Higson compactifcation of an EΓ. We then show that for groups of finite asymptotic dimension the Higson compactification is mod p acyclic for all p, and deduce the integral Novikov conjecture for these groups.
