On Banach spaces with Kasparov and Yu's Property (H)

Abstract

A new geometric property of Banach spaces recently introduced by G. Kasparov and G. Yu, called Property (H), has important applications to the strong Novikov conjecture and the coarse Novikov conjecture, yet is far from being well understood. In this paper, we investigate various uniformly continuous maps on unit spheres of Banach spaces and prove that all separable Banach lattices with nontrivial cotype have Property (H).
