The localization-algebra formulation of the Baum–Connes conjecture with coefficients

About 1 year old · traced to

Let Γ\Gamma be a discrete countable group with a length function ∣⋅∣|\cdot|, let Pd(Γ)P_d(\Gamma) be its Rips complex at scale dd, and let C∗(Pd(Γ),A)ΓC^{\ast}(P_d(\Gamma),A)^{\Gamma} and CL∗(Pd(Γ),A)ΓC_L^{\ast}(P_d(\Gamma),A)^{\Gamma} denote the equivariant Roe and localization algebras with coefficients in the Γ\Gamma-C∗C^{\ast}-algebra AA. The Baum–Connes conjecture with coefficients in AA for Γ\Gamma states that the evaluation-at-zero homomorphism

e∗:lim⁡d→∞K∗(CL∗(Pd(Γ),A)Γ)→lim⁡d→∞K∗(C∗(Pd(Γ),A)Γ)e_{\ast}: \lim_{d\rightarrow \infty} K_{\ast}(C^{\ast}_{L}(P_{d}(\Gamma), A)^{\Gamma}) \rightarrow \lim_{d\rightarrow \infty} K_{\ast}(C^{\ast}(P_{d}(\Gamma), A)^{\Gamma})

is an isomorphism. This is a localization-algebra model for the Baum–Connes assembly map, expressing the conjecture through the direct-limit KK-theory of Rips complexes. The supplied text does not state whether this formulation is open or resolved in general.
