The adiabatic groupoid and the Higson-Roe exact sequence (Q2073900)

Summary: Let \(\widetilde{X}\) be a smooth Riemannian manifold equipped with a proper, free, isometric, and cocompact action of a discrete group \(\Gamma \). In this paper, we prove that the analytic surgery exact sequence of Higson-Roe for \(\widetilde{X}\) is isomorphic to the exact sequence associated to the adiabatic deformation of the Lie groupoid \(\widetilde{X}\times_\Gamma\widetilde{X} \). We then generalize this result to the context of smoothly stratified manifolds. Finally, we show, by means of the aforementioned isomorphism, that the \(\varrho \)-classes associated to a metric with a positive scalar curvature defined by Piazza and Schick (2014) correspond to the \(\varrho \)-classes defined by Zenobi (2019).
