The coarse Novikov conjecture asserts rational injectivity of reduced coarse assembly for uniformly discrete metric spaces
of bounded geometry. Writing for the Rips complex,
its domain is
where
is locally finite analytic K-homology and
is taken modulo 2. The reduced map
is
with
the locally compact reduced Roe algebra. Rational
injectivity means that tensoring the map with
gives an injective map.
Surjectivity is a separate assertion.
