Abstract:
For a proper cocompact $G$-space $X$, the assembly map in the Baum-Connes conjecture identifies two object associated with $G$, one analytical and one geometrical/topological.
We can also form an equivariant Roe algebra associated to the coarse geometry of the $G$-space $X$.
The assembly map defined by coarse geometry can be identified with the original one defined by $KK$-theory. When the action is not cocompact, we can still form a coarse geometric index which has no known counterpart in the $KK$-theoretic approach. This is still uncharted territory to explore.
