Finite decomposition complexity and the integral Novikov conjecture for higher algebraic K-theory

Daniel A. Ramras, Romain Tessera, Guoliang Yu

Decomposition complexity for metric spaces was recently introduced by Guentner, Tessera, and Yu as a natural generalization of asymptotic dimension. We prove a vanishing result for…
