Remarks on Yu’s ‘property A’ for discrete metric spaces and groups
Guoliang Yu has introduced a property on discrete metric spaces and groups, which is a weak form of amenability and which has important applications to the Novikov conjecture and the coarse Baum–Connes conjecture. The aim of the present paper is to prove that property in particular examples, like spaces with subexponential growth, amalgamated free products of discrete groups having property A and HNN extensions of discrete groups having property A.
