Warped cones and property A

John Roe

Geometry & Topology 9 (2005) 163–178

DOI: 10.2140/gt.2005.9.163

Abstract

We describe a construction (the ‘warped cone construction’) which produces examples of coarse spaces with large groups of translations. We show that by this construction we can obtain many examples of coarse spaces which do not have property A or which are not uniformly embeddable into Hilbert space.

Keywords

coarse geometry, amenable action, property A, warped cone
