The Seiberg-Witten invariants of symplectic four-manifolds
Coarse topology, enlargeability, and essentialness
Using methods from coarse topology we show that fundamental classes of closed enlargeable manifolds map non-trivially both to the rational homology of their fundamental groups and to the -theory of the corresponding reduced -algebras. Our proofs do not depend on the Baum–Connes conjecture and provide independent confirmation for specific predictions derived from this conjecture.
