IDEAL STRUCTURE OF UNIFORM ROE ALGEBRAS OVER SIMPLE CORES

This paper characterizes ideal structure of the uniform Roe algebra B*(X) over simple cores X. A necessary and sufficient condition for a principal ideal of B*(X) to be spatial is given and an example of non-spatial ideal of B*(X) is constructed. By establishing an one-one correspondence between the ideals of B* (X) and the ω-filters on X, the maximal ideals of B*(X) are completely described by the corona of the Stone-Cech compactification of X.     

Ideals in the Roe Algebras of Discrete Metric Spaces with Coefficients in B(H)

The notion of an ideal family of weighted subspaces of a discrete metric space X with bounded geometry is introduced.It is shown that,if X has Yu's property A,the ideal structure of the Roe algebra of X with coefficients in B(H) is completely characterized by the ideal families of weighted subspaces of X,where B(H) denotes the C*-algebra of bounded linear operators on a separable Hilbert space H.     

Property A, partial translation structures, and uniform embeddings in groups

We define the concept of a partial translation structure ona metric space X and show that there is a natural C*-algebraC*() associated with it, which is a subalgebra of the uniformRoe algebra C*_u(X). We introduce a coarse invariant of the metricwhich provides an obstruction to embedding the space in a group.When the space is sufficiently group-like, as determined byour invariant, properties of the Roe algebra can be deducedfrom those of C*(). We also give a proof of the fact that theuniform Roe algebra of a metric space is a coarse invariantup to Morita equivalence.     

Non-Commutative Fejér Theorems

In this paper we prove that there are operators in the uniform Roe algebra ${C_u^*(G)}$ which cannot be approximated by the truncations of themselves, where G is a finitely generated group. We also give a sufficient condition for the operators which can be approximated by the truncations of themselves. For a countable discrete metric space X, we obtain the similar conclusions.     

Persistence Approximation Property for Maximal Roe Algebras

Persistence approximation property was introduced by Hervé Oyono-Oyono and Guoliang Yu. This property provides a geometric obstruction to Baum-Connes conjecture. In this paper, the authors mainly discuss the persistence approximation property for maximal Roe algebras. They show that persistence approximation property of maximal Roe algebras follows from maximal coarse Baum-Connes conjecture. In particular, let X be a discrete metric space with bounded geometry, assume that X admits a fibred coarse embedding into Hilbert space and X is coarsely uniformly contractible, then C_(max)~*(X) has persistence approximation property. The authors also give an application of the quantitative K-theory to the maximal coarse Baum-Connes conjecture.     

Ghostbusting and property A

We show that the Roe algebra of a bounded geometry metric space contains non-compact ghosts if and only if the space does not have property A.     

On the Equi-nuclearity of Roe Algebras of Metric Spaces

The authors define the equi-nuclearity of uniform Roe algebras of a family of metric spaces. For a discrete metric space X with bounded geometry which is covered by a family of subspaces {Xi}∞i=1, if {Cu*(Xi)}∞i=1 are equi-nuclear and under some proper gluing conditions, it is proved that Cu*(X) is nuclear. Furthermore, it is claimed that in general, the coarse Roe algebra C*(X) is not nuclear.     

K-theory for the maximal Roe algebra of certain expanders

We study in this paper the maximal version of the coarse Baum-Connes assembly map for families of expanding graphs arising from residually finite groups. Unlike for the usual Roe algebra, we show that this assembly map is closely related to the (maximal) Baum-Connes assembly map for the group and is an isomorphism for a class of expanders. We also introduce a quantitative Baum-Connes assembly map and discuss its connections to K-theory of (maximal) Roe algebras.     

Einstein solvmanifolds attached to two-step nilradicals

A Riemannian Einstein solvmanifold (possibly, any noncompact homogeneous Einstein space) is almost completely determined by the nilradical of its Lie algebra. A nilpotent Lie algebra which can serve as the nilradical of an Einstein metric solvable Lie algebra is called an Einstein nilradical. We give a classification of two-step nilpotent Einstein nilradicals with two-dimensional center. Informally, the defining matrix pencil must have no nilpotent blocks in the canonical form and no elementary divisors of a very high multiplicity. We also show that the dual to a two-step Einstein nilradical is not in general an Einstein nilradical.     

Ghost ideals in uniform Roe algebras of coarse spaces

Let be the uniform Roe algebra of a coarse space X with uniformly locally finite coarse structure. We show that an operator G in is a ghost element if and only if the finite propagation operators in the principal ideal G are all compact operators. In contrast, if X is a discrete metric space with Yus property (A), then any ideal in is the closure of the finite propagation operators in the ideal.Received: 9 June 2004     

An alternative definition of coarse structures

Roe [J. Roe, Lectures on Coarse Geometry, University Lecture Series, vol. 31, Amer. Math. Soc., Providence, RI, 2003] introduced coarse structures for arbitrary sets X by considering subsets of X×X. In this paper we introduce large scale structures on X via the notion of uniformly bounded families and we show their equivalence to coarse structures on X. That way all basic concepts of large scale geometry (asymptotic dimension, slowly oscillating functions, Higson compactification) have natural definitions and basic results from metric geometry carry over to coarse geometry.     

The coarse geometric Novikov conjecture and uniform convexity

The coarse geometric Novikov conjecture provides an algorithm to determine when the higher index of an elliptic operator on a noncompact space is nonzero. The purpose of this paper is to prove the coarse geometric Novikov conjecture for spaces which admit a (coarse) uniform embedding into a uniformly convex Banach space.     

标准算子代数上的Jordan映射

Let A be a standard operator algebra on a Banach space of dimension 〉 1 and B be an arbitrary algebra over Q the field of rational numbers. Suppose that M ： A → B and M^＊ ： B → A are surjective maps such that {M（r（aM^＊（x）＋M^＊（x）a））=r（M（a）x＋xM（a））, M^＊（r（M（a）x＋xM（a）））=r（aM^＊（x）＋M^＊（x）a） for all a ∈ A, x ∈ B, where r is a fixed nonzero rational number. Then both M and M^＊ are additive.     

Localization Algebras and Duality

The paper studies the dual algebras of localization Roe algebrasover proper metric spaces and develops a localization versionof Paschke duality for K-homology. It is shown that the localizationK-homology groups are isomorphic to Kasparov's K-homology groupsfor the Rips complex of proper metric spaces with bounded geometry.It follows that the obstruction groups to the coarse Baum–Connesconjecture can also be derived from the dual localization algebras.     

On Metric Boundedness Structures

Many years ago, S.-T. Hu gave necessary and sufficient conditions for a family of subsets of a metrizable space X to be the family of bounded sets for some admissible metric for the space. In this article, we show that in any noncompact metrizable space there are uncountably many distinct metric boundedness structures. Also, given an initial metric d for X, we look carefully at the problem of characterizing those boundedness structures determined by metrics uniformly equivalent to d. Applications to hyperspaces are given. Throughout, we rely on a dual approach to the study of metric boundedness.

Metric Lie algebras with maximal isotropic centre

A metric Lie algebra is a Lie algebra equipped with an invariant non-degenerate symmetric bilinear form. It is called indecomposable if it is not the direct sum of two metric Lie algebras. We are interested in describing the isomorphism classes of indecomposable metric Lie algebras. In the present paper we restrict ourselves to a certain class of solvable metric Lie algebras which includes all indecomposable metric Lie algebras with maximal isotropic centre. We will see that each metric Lie algebra belonging to this class is a twofold extension associated with an orthogonal representation of an abelian Lie algebra. We will describe equivalence classes of such extensions by a certain cohomology set. In particular we obtain a classification scheme for indecomposable metric Lie algebras with maximal isotropic centre and the classification of metric Lie algebras of index 2.
