TL;DR
This work introduces the A-by-FCE coarse fibration structure as a broad generalization of A-by-CE and proves that the maximal coarse Baum-Connes conjecture holds for discrete spaces of bounded geometry admitting this structure. The authors develop maximal twisted Roe algebras at infinity and localization algebras, and construct Bott and Dirac-type asymptotic morphisms that realize a geometric Bott periodicity in finite dimensions. Key applications include relative expanders from Arzhantseva–Tessera and amenable-by-Haagerup box spaces, which admit A-by-FCE structures and hence satisfy the maximal coarse Baum-Connes conjecture even when they do not fibred-embed into Hilbert space. The strategy combines cutting-and-pasting reductions to coarse disjoint unions, analysis of ideals over coherent systems, Mayer–Vietoris arguments, and localization techniques to reduce twisted problems to untwisted ones, culminating in a Dirac–Bott framework that yields the main isomorphism. The results extend prior A-by-CE surjectivity/injectivity in related settings and provide tools for studying higher indices on broad classes of non-embeddable spaces.
Abstract
In this paper, we introduce a concept of A-by-FCE coarse fibration structure for metric spaces, which serves as a generalization of the A-by-CE structure for a sequence of group extensions proposed by Deng, Wang, and Yu. We prove that the maximal coarse Baum-Connes conjecture holds for metric spaces with bounded geometry that admit an A-by-FCE coarse fibration structure. As an application, the relative expanders constructed by Arzhantseva and Tessera, as well as the box spaces derived from an ``amenable-by-Haagerup'' group extension, admit the A-by-FCE coarse fibration structure. Consequently, the maximal coarse Baum-Connes conjecture holds for these spaces, which may not admit an FCE structure, i.e. fibred coarse embedding into Hilbert space.
