Abstract: This is the second part of our series about the Higson-Roe sequence for 'etale groupoids. We devote this part to the proof of the universal K-theory surgery exact sequence which extends the seminal results of N. Higson and J. Roe to the case of transformation groupoids. In the process, we prove the expected functoriality properties as well as the Paschke-Higson duality theorem.


This paper is the second part of the series of articles [\textit{M.-T. Benameur} and \textit{I. Roy}, J. Noncommut. Geom. 14, No. 1, 25--71 (2020; Zbl 1444.19008); J. Noncommut. Geom. 15, No. 1, 1--39 (2021; Zbl 07377299)] which fit into a deep program due to [\textit{N. Higson} and \textit{J. Roe}, \(K\)-Theory 33, No. 4, 277--299 (2004; Zbl 1083.19002); \(K\)-Theory 33, No. 4, 301--324 (2004; Zbl 1083.19003); \(K\)-Theory 33, No. 4, 325--346 (2004; Zbl 1085.19002)]. This paper [\textit{M.-T. Benameur} and \textit{I. Roy}, J. Noncommut. Geom. 15, No. 1, 1--39 (2021; Zbl 07377299)] is a well-written, well-organized and well-illustrated. It makes a valuable contribution in the well-known Baum-Connes conjecture with coefficients, see Corollary 5.4. More precisely, the authors provide a proof for the universal \(K\)-theory surgery exact sequence for transformations groupoids \(X\rtimes\Gamma\) (here \(X\) is a metrizable space and \(\Gamma\) is a discrete countable group that acts on \(X\)): the case in which \(X=point\) corresponds to the seminal results of [\textit{N. Higson} and \textit{J. Roe}, \(K\)-Theory 33, No. 4, 277--299 (2004; Zbl 1083.19002); \(K\)-Theory 33, No. 4, 301--324 (2004; Zbl 1083.19003); \(K\)-Theory 33, No. 4, 325--346 (2004; Zbl 1085.19002)], see Remark 5.3. In more detail, the proof is based on the introduction of adequate Roe algebras, whose K-theory groups are functorial under certain classes of maps (see Section 3), and the construction of a Paschke-Higson type map, which is an isomorphism (see Theorem 4.1).
