The twisted coarse Baum-Connes conjecture with coefficients in coarsely proper algebras (Q6166744)

It was noticed by \textit{G.-L. Yu} in [Invent. Math. 139, 201--240 (2000; Zbl 0956.19004)] that the index of the Dirac operator is more easily computable when the Dirac operator is twisted by a family of ``almost flat Bott bundles''. Thus one can reduce the coarse Novikov conjecture to arguing the evaluation map between the twisted algebras with ``nice coefficients''. This approach is called the geometric Dirac-dual-Dirac method. Compared to the Dirac-dual-Dirac method for groups, there are no conceptual descriptions of what a ``nice coefficient'' for twisted algebras is. The authors introduce a notion of coarsely proper algebra for a coarse embedding of one metric space into another. They also introduce the twisted localization/Roe algebra with coefficients in a coarsely proper algebra and a twisted assembly map between the \(K\)-theories of these two algebras. Using these constructions, they prove that, given a group extension \(1 \to N \to G \to Q \to 1\) with \(N\) coarsely embeddable into a Hilbert space and \(Q\) coarsely embeddable into an admissible Hilbert-Hadamard space, the coarse Novikov conjecture holds for \(G\).
