Title: The coarse Novikov conjecture and Banach spaces with property (H)

Abstract: The coarse Novikov conjecture is a geometric analogue of the strong Novikov conjecture, while property (H) is a geometric condition for Banach spaces introduced by G. Kasparov and G. Yu in studying the strong Novikov conjecture. In this talk, I will discuss applications of coarse embeddings or fibred coarse embeddings of metric spaces into Banach spaces with property (H) to the coarse Novikov conjecture.
