The coarse Novikov conjecture for extensions of coarsely embeddable groups

Abstract: Let

(1 o N_{n} o G_{n} o Q_{n} o 1)_{n i n m a t h b b N}

be a sequence of extensions of countable discrete groups. Endow

(G_{n})_{n i n m a t h b b N}

with metrics associated to proper length functions on

(G_{n})_{n i n m a t h b b N}

respectively such that the sequence of metric spaces

(G_{n})_{n i n m a t h b b N}

have uniform bounded geometry. We show that if

(N_{n})_{n i n m a t h b b N}

and

(Q_{n})_{n i n m a t h b b N}

are coarsely embeddable into Hilbert space, then the coarse Novikov conjecture holds for the sequence

(G_{n})_{n i n m a t h b b N}

, which may not admit a coarse embedding into Hilbert space.
