Some ‘homological’ properties of the stable Higson corona
نویسنده
چکیده
We establish certain ‘homological properties’ of the stable Higson corona used by Emerson and Meyer to study the Dirac-dual-Dirac approach to the Baum-Connes conjecture [5]. These are used to obtain explicit isomorphisms between the K-theory of the stable Higson corona of certain spaces X and the topological K-theory of natural geometric boundaries of X. This is sufficient to give a simple proof of the strong Novikov conjecture for torsion free hyperbolic groups and torsion free groups acting properly and cocompactly on CAT (0) spaces, and also provides an input into an index theorem in single operator theory [15, 16].

Some homological properties of amalgamated duplication of a ring along an ideal
In this work, we investigate the transfer of some homological properties from a ring $R$ to its amalgamated duplication along some ideal $I$ of $R$ $Rbowtie I$, and then generate new and original families of rings with these properties.
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.
متن کاملCoronas for properly combable spaces
This paper is a systematic approach to the construction of coronas (i. e. Higson dominated boundaries at infinity) of combable spaces. We introduce three additional properties for combings: properness, coherence and expandingness. Properness is the condition under which our construction of the corona works. Under the assumption of coherence and expandingness, attaching our corona to a Rips comp...
متن کاملCopresented Dimension of Modules
In this paper, a new homological dimension of modules, copresented dimension, is defined. We study some basic properties of this homological dimension. Some ring extensions are considered, too. For instance, we prove that if $Sgeq R$ is a finite normalizing extension and $S_R$ is a projective module, then for each right $S$-module $M_S$, the copresented dimension of $M_S$ does not exceed the c...
متن کاملOn the Higson-roe Corona
Higson-Roe compacti cations rst arose in connection with C -algebra approaches to index theory on noncompact manifolds. Vanishing and/or equivariant splitting results for the cohomology of these compacti cations imply the integral Novikov Conjecture for fundamental groups of nite aspherical CW complexes. We survey known results on these compacti cations and prove some new results { most notably...
