Abstract

In this paper, we study the space of metrics of positive scalar curvature using methods from coarse geometry. Given a closed spin manifold M with fundamental group G, Stephan Stolz introduced the positive scalar curvature exact sequence. Higson and Roe introduced a K-theory exact sequence in K-Theory. The K-theory groups in question are the home of interesting (secondary) invariants, in particular the rho-class of a metric of positive scalar curvature. One of our main results is the construction of a map from the Stolz exact sequence to the Higson–Roe exact sequence (commuting with all arrows), using coarse index theory throughout.
