A quasi-local characterisation of $L^p$-Roe algebras

Abstract

Very recently, Å pakula and Tikuisis provide a new characterisation of (uniform) Roe algebras via quasi-locality when the underlying metric spaces have straight finite decomposition complexity. In this paper, we improve their method to deal with the $L^p$-version of (uniform) Roe algebras for any $p\in [1,\infty)$. Due to the lack of reflexivity on $L^1$-spaces, some extra work is required for the case of $p=1$.
