The twisted coarse Baum--Connes conjecture and relative hyperbolic groups

In this paper, we introduce a notion of stable coarse algebras for metric spaces with bounded geometry, and formulate the twisted coarse Baum--Connes conjecture with respect to stable coarse algebras. We prove permanence properties of this conjecture under coarse equivalences, unions and subspaces. As an application, we study higher index theory for a group $G$ that is hyperbolic relative to a finite family of subgroups $\{H_1, H_2, \dots, H_N\}$. We prove that $G$ satisfies the twisted coarse Baum--Connes conjecture with respect to any stable coarse algebra if and only if each subgroup $H_i$ does.

Non-geometric property (T) of warped cones

In this paper, we study the geometric property (T) for discretized warped cones of an action on a compact Lie group $M$ by its finitely generated subgroup. We show that if a subgroup $G$ is dense in $M$, then the associated discretized warped cone $\bigsqcup_n M\times \{t(n)\}$ does not have geometric property (T) for any sequence of positive numbers $\{t(n)\}_{n\in \mathbb{N}}$ converging to $\infty$. This result applies to certain ergodic actions of groups with property (T), for example, the action of $SO(d,\mathbb{Z}[\frac{1}{5}])$ on $SO(d)$ with $d\geq 5$. As an application, we obtain new examples of expanders without geometric property (T), including certain superexpanders.

Twisted Roe algebras and their $K$-theory

In this paper, we introduce a notion of twisted Roe algebra and a twisted coarse Baum-Connes conjecture with coefficients. We will study the basic properties of twisted Roe algebras, including a coarse analogue of the imprimitivity theorem for metric spaces with a structure of coarse fibrations. We show that the twisted coarse Baum-Connes conjecture with coefficients holds for a metric space with a coarse fibration structure when the base space and the fiber satisfy the twisted coarse Baum-Connes conjecture with coefficients. As an application, the coarse Baum-Connes conjecture holds for a finitely generated group which is an extension of coarsely embeddable groups.

Soft Label PU Learning

PU learning refers to the classification problem in which only part of positive samples are labeled. Existing PU learning methods treat unlabeled samples equally. However, in many real tasks, from common sense or domain knowledge, some unlabeled samples are more likely to be positive than others. In this paper, we propose soft label PU learning, in which unlabeled data are assigned soft labels according to their probabilities of being positive. Considering that the ground truth of TPR, FPR, and AUC are unknown, we then design PU counterparts of these metrics to evaluate the performances of soft label PU learning methods within validation data. We show that these new designed PU metrics are good substitutes for the real metrics. After that, a method that optimizes such metrics is proposed. Experiments on public datasets and real datasets for anti-cheat services from Tencent games demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed method.

Higher index theory for spaces with an FCE-by-FCE structure

Let $(1\to N_n\to G_n\to Q_n\to 1)_{n\in\mathbb{N}}$ be a sequence of extensions of finite groups. Assume that the coarse disjoint unions of $(N_n)_{n \in \mathbb{N}}$, $(G_n)_{n \in \mathbb{N}}$ and $(Q_n)_{n \in \mathbb{N}}$ have bounded geometry. The sequence $(G_n)_{n\in\mathbb{N}}$ is said to have an \emph{FCE-by-FCE structure}, if the sequence $(N_n)_{n\in\mathbb{N}}$ and the sequence $(Q_n)_{n\in\mathbb{N}}$ admit \emph{a fibred coarse embedding} into Hilbert space. In this paper, we show that the coarse Novikov conjecture holds for spaces with an FCE-by-FCE structure.

The coarse Baum-Connes conjecture for certain relative expanders

Let $\left( 1\to N_m\to G_m\to Q_m\to 1 \right)_{m\in \mathbb{N}}$ be a sequence of extensions of finite groups such that their coarse disjoint unions have bounded geometry. In this paper, we show that if the coarse disjoint unions of $\left( N_m \right)_{m\in \mathbb{N}} $ and $\left( Q_m \right)_{m\in \mathbb{N}} $ are coarsely embeddable into Hilbert space, then the coarse Baum-Connes conjecture holds for the coarse disjoint union of $\left( G_m \right)_{m\in \mathbb{N}}$. As an application, the coarse Baum-Connes conjecture holds for the relative expanders constructed by G. Arzhantseva and R. Tessera, and the special box spaces of free groups discovered by T. Delabie and A. Khukhro, which do not coarsely embed into Hilbert space, yet do not contain a weakly embedded expander. This enlarges the class of metric spaces known to satisfy the coarse Baum-Connes conjecture. In particular, it solves an open problem raised by G. Arzhantseva and R. Tessera on the coarse Baum-Connes conjecture for relative expanders.

$K$-theory of relative group $C^*$-algebras and the relative Novikov conjecture

The relative Novikov conjecture states that the relative higher signatures of manifolds with boundary are invariant under orientation-preserving homotopy equivalences of pairs. In this paper, we study the relative Baum-Connes assembly map for any pair of groups and apply it to solve the relative Novikov conjecture when the groups satisfy certain geometric conditions.

Coarse embeddings at infinity and generalized expanders at infinity

We introduce a notion of coarse embedding at infinity into Hilbert space for metric spaces, which is a weakening of the notion of fibred coarse embedding and a far generalization of Gromov's concept of coarse embedding. It turns out that a residually finite group admits a coarse embedding into Hilbert space if and only if one (or equivalently, every) box space of the group admits a coarse embedding at infinity into Hilbert space. Moreover, we introduce a concept of generalized expander at infinity and show that it is an obstruction to coarse embeddability at infinity.

The equivariant coarse Baum-Connes conjecture for metric spaces with proper group actions

The equivariant coarse Baum-Connes conjecture interpolates between the Baum-Connes conjecture for a discrete group and the coarse Baum-Connes conjecture for a proper metric space. In this paper, we study this conjecture under certain assumptions. More precisely, assume that a countable discrete group $Γ$ acts properly and isometrically on a discrete metric space $X$ with bounded geometry, not necessarily cocompact. We show that if the quotient space $X/Γ$ admits a coarse embedding into Hilbert space and $Γ$ is amenable, and that the $Γ$-orbits in $X$ are uniformly equivariantly coarsely equivalent to each other, then the equivariant coarse Baum-Connes conjecture holds for $(X, Γ)$. Along the way, we prove a $K$-theoretic amenability statement for the $Γ$-space $X$ under the same assumptions as above, namely, the canonical quotient map from the maximal equivariant Roe algebra of $X$ to the reduced equivariant Roe algebra of $X$ induces an isomorphism on $K$-theory.

The Novikov conjecture and extensions of coarsely embeddable groups

Let $1 \to N \to G \to G/N \to 1$ be a short exact sequence of countable discrete groups and let $B$ be any $G$-$C^*$-algebra. In this paper, we show that the strong Novikov conjecture with coefficients in $B$ holds for such a group $G$ when the normal subgroup $N$ and the quotient group $G/N$ are coarsely embeddable into Hilbert spaces. As a result, the group $G$ satisfies the Novikov conjecture under the same hypothesis on $N$ and $G/N$.
