Property A and uniform embedding for locally compact groups

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: For locally compact groups, we define an analogue to Yu's property A that he defined for discrete metric spaces. We show that our property A for locally compact groups agrees with Roe's notion of property A for proper metric spaces, defined in cite{R05}. We prove that many of the results that are known to hold in the discrete setting, hold also in the locally compact setting. In particular, we show that property A is equivalent to amenability at infinity (see cite{HR00} for the discrete case), and that a locally compact group with property A embeds uniformly into a Hilbert space (see cite{Yu00} for the discrete case). We also prove that the Baum-Connes assembly map with coefficients is split-injective, for every locally compact group that embeds uniformly into a Hilbert space. This extends results by Skandalis, Tu and Yu cite{STY02}, and by Chabert, Echterhoff and Oyono-Oyono cite{CEO04}.
