Abstract:
Quantitative K -theory for C∗ -algebras originated in the work of Guoliang Yu on the Novikov conjecture and the coarse Baum-Connes conjecture.
More recently, it has also been used to study the K -theory of various classes of C∗ -algebras and has been generalized to be applicable to more general Banach algebras.
In this series of lectures, I will give an introduction to the notion of quantitative K -theory for Banach algebras.
I will also present some joint work with Kang Li on Lp uniform Roe algebras associated to metric spaces with bounded geometry.
One result is about surjectivity of the map on K_0 groups induced by the diagonal inclusion when the metric space has asymptotic dimension one,
and this will be an example where quantitative K -theory is used.
Another result (not involving K -theory) is about the rigidity of these algebras, which indicates that they are (possibly) more rigid when p is not 2 than when p=2.
