Property A, partial translation structures and uniform embeddings in groups

We define the concept of a partial translation structure T on a metric space X and we show that there is a natural C*-algebra C*(T) associated with it which is a subalgebra of the uniform Roe algebra C*u(X). We introduce a coarse invariant of the metric which provides an obstruction to embedding the...
