Abstract: We study property A defined by G. Yu and the operator norm localization property defined by X. Chen, R. Tessera, X. Wang, and G. Yu. These are coarse geometric properties for metric spaces which have applications to operator K-theory. It is proved that the two properties are equivalent for discrete metric spaces with bounded geometry.


The main result of the paper is that, for discrete metric spaces with bounded geometry, the property~A introduced in [\textit{G.-L. Yu}, Invent. Math. 139, No. 1, 201--240 (2000; Zbl 0956.19004)] is equivalent to the operator norm localization property introduced in [\textit{X.-M. Chen} et al., Adv. Math. 218, No. 5, 1496--1511 (2008; Zbl 1148.46040)]. This result is a very important contribution to the study of properties of metric spaces related to higher index theory; see [\textit{J. Brodzki} et al., J. Noncommut. Geom. 7, No. 2, 583--603 (2013; Zbl 1281.46023)] for recent related results and discussion on this matter. The methods of the paper are operator algebraic.
