An etale approach to the Novikov conjecture
Abstract
We show that the rational Novikov conjecture for a group of finite homological type follows from the mod 2 acyclicity of the Higson compactifcation of an E. We then show that for groups of finite asymptotic dimension the Higson compactification is mod p acyclic for all p, and deduce the integral Novikov conjecture for these groups.
