Coarse co-assembly as a ring homomorphism (Q740100)

Summary: The \(K\)-theory of the stable Higson corona of a coarse space carries a canonical ring structure. This ring is the domain of an unreduced version of the coarse co-assembly map of \textit{H. Emerson} and \textit{R. Meyer} [J. Inst. Math. Jussieu 5, No.~2, 161--186 (2006; Zbl 1092.19005)]. We show that the target also carries a ring structure and co-assembly is a ring homomorphism, provided that the given coarse space is contractible in a coarse sense.
