NPCW06 - Non-positive curvature and applications

With every proper metric space are associated C-algebras of special geometric importance (Roe algebras), originally defined for index-theoretic considerations. It is a simple observation that metric spaces that are coarsely equivalent give rise to isomorphic C-algebras, and recently we could prove that the converse also holds. Namely, a C-rigidity Theorem shows that spaces with isomorphic Roe algebras must be coarsely equivalent. This establishes a strong connection between the categories of coarse spaces and C-algebras. In this introductory talk I aim to properly introduce the C*-rigidity question and illustrate the roadmap of the proof of rigidity.
