Abstract

We will present a new construction of a box space of a free group which does not contain coarsely embedded expanders, but does not embed coarsely into Hilbert space. We will also describe a new rigidity result for box spaces of finitely presented groups, and give some applications. This is joint work with Thiebout Delabie
