This paper surveys applications of coarse geometry, in particular the Higson-Roe compactification (of a universal cover), to the study of the Novikov and Gromov-Lawson conjectures. The paper examines the Weinberger conjecture on the surjectivity of the connecting homomorphism from the cohomology of the Higson corona of a uniformly contractible metric space to the compactly supported cohomology of that space. In support of this examination, the paper calculates the degree-\(n\) cohomology of the Higson-Roe compactification of \(n\)-dimensional Euclidean space and the degree-\(2\) cohomology of the Higson-Roe compactification of the hyperbolic plane. The basic reference for many of the ideas discussed is \textit{J. Roe}'s [Mem. Am. Math. Soc. 497, 90 p. (1993; Zbl 0780.58043)].
