Expanders prevent Property (H)
Abstract
We show that if a sequence of expander graphs equi-coarsely embeds into a Banach space, then this Banach space fails Kasparov and Yu's Property (H). Consequently, no Banach space with Property (H) can be coarsely universal for all countable groups. We provide a Lean verification of our results.
