Abstract

An independent ample groupoid $G$ comes equipped with a discrete groupoid $G_d$ and a proper étale correspondence $Ω:G_d\to G$. Discretisation with respect to a homological invariant $\mathcal{H}$ holds when $\mathcal{H}(Ω)$ is an equivalence. We show for example that discretisation with respect to the $K$-theory spectrum $\mathbb{K} \mathfrak{B}_G$ of the permutative category of bisections always holds, establish excision and continuity for this invariant, and use all this and explicit resolutions by independent groupoids to compute it for several families of ample groupoids. We also prove discretisation with respect to invariants of the Steinberg algebra $\ell[G]$ such as (homotopy) algebraic $K$-theory in several particular cases, and carry out computations.

A groupoid approach to the equivariant coarse Baum--Connes conjecture

In this paper, we develop a groupoid approach to the equivariant coarse Baum--Connes conjecture. For a bounded geometry metric space $X$ equipped with a proper, free, and isometric action of a countable discrete group $Γ$, we introduce the equivariant coarse groupoid $G(X, Γ)$. We prove that the groupoid Baum--Connes conjecture for $G(X, Γ)$ with coefficients in $\ell^{\infty}(X,\K)^\Ga$ is equivalent to the equivariant coarse Baum--Connes conjecture for $(X, Γ)$ using a localization algebra description of groupoid equivariant $KK$-theory on the Rips complex models. As applications of this framework, we prove that if the space $X$ admits a coarse embedding into Hilbert space (which is not required to be $Γ$-equivariant), then the equivariant coarse Novikov conjecture holds for $(X, Γ)$, i.e., the assembly map $μ_{X,\Ga}$ is an injection. We also obtain a new proof of the equivariant coarse Baum--Connes conjecture if $X$ admits an equivariant coarse embedding into Hilbert space.

Analytic Kasparov product for non-separable C$^*$-algebras

We develop an analytic framework for the explicit construction of Kasparov products on uncountably generated Hilbert modules over non-separable C$^*$-algebras by extending the classical Kasparov bimodule picture. In particular, this yields a well-defined functor from the category of general C$^*$-algebras whose restriction to separable C$^*$-algebras coincides with classical KK-theory and which satisfies several properties expected of non-separable KK-theory. A key idea of the extension is to replace a single Fredholm operator on a Kasparov bimodule with a net and to encode the directed system of separable C$^*$-subalgebras. We also introduce the notion of freely complementable Hilbert modules and develop cropping techniques to extend Kasparov's technical theorem beyond the countably generated setting. It naturally gives rise to a sufficiently broad class of C$^*$-algebras that provides a non-commutative analogue of paracompactness and includes all $σ$-unital algebras.

Quantitative $K$-homology of uniform Roe algebras

We introduce quantitative $K$-homology for uniform Roe algebras of discrete proper metric spaces with bounded geometry, based on the controlled $KK$-theory of Willett and Yu. We construct a comparison map from Lipschitz $K$-theory and prove that, for chain geodesic spaces, it is an isomorphism in a quantitative sense; in particular, quantitative $K$-homology is isomorphic to the inverse limit of the Lipschitz $K$-theory groups as the Lipschitz constant tends to zero. We also establish a pairing between quantitative $K$-homology and quantitative $K$-theory.
