Abstract: We introduce a new variant of the coarse Baum-Connes conjecture designed to tackle coarsely disconnected metric spaces called the boundary coarse Baum-Connes conjecture. We prove this conjecture for many coarsely disconnected spaces that are known to be counterexamples to the coarse Baum-Connes conjecture. In particular, we give a geometric proof of this conjecture for spaces of graphs that have large girth and bounded vertex degree. We then connect the boundary conjecture to the coarse Baum-Connes conjecture using homological methods, which allows us to exhibit all the current uniformly discrete counterexamples to the coarse Baum-Connes conjecture in an elementary way.

Review text

It is known that the classical Baum-Connes conjecture fails in some important special cases, e.g. when the underlying group is an expander. To fix the problem, one needs to properly modify the original conjecture which will include all known counterexamples. The Baum-Connes conjecture for the so-called \textit{coarse} topological spaces has a similar drawback: there are counterexamples. The authors of the paper under review introduce a \textit{boundary} coarse Baum-Connes conjecture and prove that there are no known counterexamples to such a conjecture.
