Constructs a uniformly discrete bounded-geometry space whose maximal coarse assembly map is not rationally injective. The example is a coarse disjoint union of finite connected graphs of uniformly bounded degree, with an infinite-order kernel class. A companion gives the analogous failure for reduced coarse assembly, disproving the rational coarse Novikov conjecture.

We construct a uniformly discrete bounded-geometry space whose maximal coarse assembly map has an infinite-order element in its kernel. The space is a coarse disjoint union of finite connected graphs of uniformly bounded degree, so maximal coarse assembly need not be rationally injective even for such graph unions.

We disprove the coarse Novikov conjecture: ordinary coarse assembly need not be rationally injective for uniformly discrete spaces of bounded geometry. We construct a coarse disjoint union of finite graphs of uniformly bounded degree and an infinite-order class in its degree-one coarse K-homology whose image under ordinary…
We disprove the coarse Novikov conjecture: ordinary coarse assembly need not be rationally injective for uniformly discrete spaces of bounded geometry. We construct a coarse disjoint union of finite graphs of uniformly bounded degree and an infinite-order class in its degree-one coarse K-homology whose image under ordinary coarse assembly in the K-theory of the reduced, locally compact Roe algebra vanishes.

New mathematical reasoning could help AI tackle harder scientific and computational problems. How reliably these skills transfer beyond mathematics will determine how much they contribute to general intelligence.
