Title: K-theory for certain expanders
Abstract: (Joint work with G. Yu) For a discrete group Γ which satisfies the property τ with respect to a family (Γi)iN of finite index normal subgroups, the behaviours of the coarse Baum-Connes conjecture for the associated family of expanders and of the Baum-Connes conjecture for Γ differ substancially as we can see for Γ=SL2(Z). As we shall see, if we consider the maximal version of both conjectures, then their behaviours became quite similar. As an application, I will discuss the injectivity of the coarse assembly map for certain expanders. We shall see also that these questions are closely related to the asymptotic properties of some "quantitative" assembly maps for the family (Γi)iN.
