Introduction The coarse Baum-Connes conjecture states that a certain coarse assembly map µ : KX * (X) → K * (C * (X)) is an isomorphism (see for example [Roe96] or the piece by N. Higson and J. Roe in [FRR95]). It has many important consequences including one of the main motivations for this piece: a descent technique connects it to injectivity of the ('ordinary') Baum-Connes assembly map µ : K...

In this paper we investigate the index theory of transversally elliptic pseudo-differential operators in the framework of noncommutative geometry. We give examples of spectral triples in the sense of Alain Connes and Henri Moscovici in [12] that are transversally elliptic but nonelliptic. We prove that these spectral triples satisfy the conditions which ensure the Connes-Moscovici local index f...

We study representations of Banach algebras on reflexive Banach spaces. Algebras which admit such representations which are bounded below seem to be a good generalisation of Arens regular Banach algebras; this class includes dual Banach algebras as defined by Runde, but also all group algebras, and all discrete (weakly cancellative) semigroup algebras. Such algebras also behave in a similar way...

— Guoliang Yu has introduced a property on discrete metric spaces and groups, which is a weak form of amenability and which has important applications to the Novikov conjecture and the coarse Baum–Connes conjecture. The aim of the present paper is to prove that property in particular examples, like spaces with subexponential growth, amalgamated free products of discrete groups having property A...

We define a mild generalization of classical Fraïssé classes, and in this context, we recover several old (often with novel proofs) and new facts about Ramsey classes and generalized indiscernibles in the sense of [12], [17], and other sources. Of particular novelty are: (1) a new and clearly model-theoretic proof of the equivalence of the Ramsey property and the extreme amenability of the auto...

Pseudo-Galois extensions are shown to be depth two extensions. Studying its left bialgebroid, we construct an enveloping Hopf algebroid for the semi-direct product of groups or involutive Hopf algebras and their module algebras. It is a type of cofibered sum of two inclusions of the Hopf algebra into the semi-direct product and its derived right crossed product. Van Oystaeyen and Panaite observ...

Let A be a dual Banach algebra with predual A∗ and consider the following assertions: (A) A is Connes-amenable; (B) A has a normal, virtual diagonal; (C) A∗ is an injective A-bimodule. For general A, all that is known is that (B) implies (A) whereas, for von Neumann algebras, (A), (B), and (C) are equivalent. We show that (C) always implies (B) whereas the converse is false for A = M(G) where G...

Quantum Euclidean spaces, as Moyal deformations of are the model examples noncompact noncommutative manifold. In this paper, we study quantum space equipped with partial derivatives satisfying canonical commutation relation (CCR). This gives an example semifinite spectral triple nonflat geometric structure. We develop abstract symbol calculus for pseudo-differential operators noncommuting deriv...
