We construct the first example of a coarsely non-amenable (= without Guoliang Yu’s property A) metric space with bounded geometry which coarsely embeds into a Hilbert space.

On non-amenable embeddable spaces in relation with free products
In this paper we give sufficient conditions for a free product of residually finite groups to admit an embeddable box space. This generalizes the constructions of Arzhantseva, Guentner and Spakula in
Coarsely Embedding Relative Property A Groups
• Mathematics
• 2013
We generalize relative property A for countable groups to metric spaces by considering exact families of set maps. Using exact families we show that a group which has relative property A with respect
Coarse amenability at infinity
We define two different weakenings of coarse amenability (also known as Yu's property A), namely fibred coarse amenability and coarse amenability at infinity. These two properties allow us to prove
Admitting a coarse embedding is not preserved under group extensions
• Mathematics
• 2016
We construct a finitely generated group which is an extension of two finitely generated groups coarsely embeddable into Hilbert space but which itself does not coarsely embed into Hilbert space. Our
Embeddings of Uniform Roe Algebras
• Mathematics
Communications in Mathematical Physics
• 2019
In this paper, we study embeddings of uniform Roe algebras. Generally speaking, given metric spaces X and Y , we are interested in which large scale geometric properties are stable under embedding of
Box spaces, group extensions and coarse embeddings into Hilbert space
Abstract We investigate how coarse embeddability of box spaces into Hilbert space behaves under group extensions. In particular, we prove a result which implies that a semidirect product of a
Low-distortion embeddings of graphs with large girth
The main purpose of the paper is to construct a sequence of graphs of constant degree with indefinitely growing girths admitting embeddings into $\ell_1$ with uniformly bounded distortions. This
Uniform Local Amenability
• Mathematics
• 2012
The main results of this paper show that various coarse (`large scale') geometric properties are closely related. In particular, we show that property A implies the operator norm localisation
Ghostbusting and property A
• Mathematics
• 2013
We show that a bounded geometry metric space X has property A if and only if all ghost operators on X are compact.
Strong embeddability and extensions of groups
• Mathematics
• 2013
We introduce the notion of strong embeddability for a metric space. This property lies between coarse embeddability and property A. A relative version of strong embeddability is developed in terms of

Amenable actions and exactness for discrete groups
Abstract It is proved that a discrete group G is exact if and only if its left translation action on the Stone–Cech compactification is amenable. Combining this with an unpublished result of Gromov,
Some notes on Property A
We provide an expository account of Guoliang Yu's property A. The piece starts from the basic definitions, and goes on to discuss closure properties of the class of property A spaces (and groups) and

We show that groups satisfying Kazhdan's property (T) have no unbounded actions on finite dimensional CAT(0) cube complexes, and deduce that there is a locally CAT(-1) Riemannian manifold which is
Algebraic Topology
The focus of this paper is a proof of the Nielsen-Schreier Theorem, stating that every subgroup of a free group is free, using tools from algebraic topology.

Abstract In [7], Gong, Wang and Yu introduced a maximal, or universal, version of the Roe C*-algebra associated to a metric space. We study the relationship between this maximal Roe algebra and the
