Sphere equivalence, property H, and Banach expanders (Q2809355)

Banach spaces are called sphere equivalent if there exists a uniform homeomorphism between their unit spheres. The author proves that, under a natural uniformity assumption, sphere equivalence between respective Banach spaces in two sequences implies sphere equivalence between their \(\ell_p\)-sums.NEWLINENEWLINEThe author uses this result to extend results of \textit{M. Mimura} [Int. Math. Res. Not. 2015, No. 12, 4372--4391 (2015; Zbl 1334.46020)] on \((X,p)\)-anders.NEWLINENEWLINEThen the author turns to property (H), introduced by \textit{G. Kasparov} and \textit{G.-L. Yu} [Geom. Topol. 16, No. 3, 1859--1880 (2012; Zbl 1257.19003)], and proves that under a natural uniformity assumption the property (H) passes from a sequence of Banach spaces to their \(\ell_p\)-sum.NEWLINENEWLINEThe author derives from this result the fact that coarse embeddability of countable discrete groups into Banach spaces with property (H) is inherited by free products.
