Abstract

In this paper, we prove that the Strong Novikov Conjecture for a residually finite group is essentially equivalent to the Coarse Geometric Novikov Conjecture for a certain metric space associated to the group. As an application, we obtain the Coarse Geometric Novikov Conjecture for a large class of sequences of expanders.
