The first is that the affinity of each x to itself is infinite and that for x ≠ y the affinity is positive and finite. The second is a quantitative transitivity; if the affinity between x and y is larger than λ > 0 and the affinity of y and z is also larger than λ, then the affinity between x and z is larger than ν(λ).

In this Part II, we prove that a disjoint union admits a fibred coarse embedding into a Hilbert space (as a disjoint union) if and only if the Cayley boundary of the sequence in the space of marked groups is uniformly a-T-menable. We furthermore extend this result to ones with other target spaces. By combining our main results with constructions of Osajda and Arzhantseva–Osajda, we construct two systems of markings of a certain sequence of finite groups with two opposite extreme behaviors of the resulting two disjoint unions: With respect to one marking, the space has property A. On the other hand, with respect to the other, the space does not admit fibred coarse embeddings into Banach spaces with non-trivial type (for instance, uniformly convex Banach spaces) or Hadamard manifolds; the Cayley limit group is, furthermore, non-exact.","PeriodicalId":48637,"journal":{"name":"Analysis and Geometry in Metric Spaces","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1515/agms-2019-0005","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46722213","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The sufficient condition is satisfied for the glued space of any two (not necessary same dimensional) closed pointed Riemannian manifolds at their base points. This tells us that the BE condition is strictly weaker than the RCD condition even in this setting, and that the local dimension is not constant even if the space satisfies the BE condition with the coincidence between the induced distance by the Cheeger energy and the original distance. In particular, the glued space gives a first example with a Ricci bound from below in the Bakry-Émery sense, whose local dimension is not constant. We also give a necessary and sufficient condition for such spaces to be RCD(K, N) spaces.","PeriodicalId":48637,"journal":{"name":"Analysis and Geometry in Metric Spaces","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1515/agms-2018-0007","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42287979","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
