Coarse homology theories

Paul D. Mitchener


Abstract. In this paper we develop an axiomatic approach to coarse homology theories. We prove a uniqueness result concerning coarse homology theories on the category of `coarse CW-complexes'. This uniqueness result is used to prove a version of the coarse Baum-Connes conjecture for such spaces.

Keywords. Coarse geometry, exotic homology, coarse Baum-Connes conjecture, Novikov conjecture
