OpenAI reports failure of maximal coarse assembly injectivity

A uniformly discrete bounded-geometry coarse disjoint union of finite connected uniformly bounded-degree graphs has an infinite-order class in degree-one coarse K-homology that maps to zero under maximal coarse assembly, so that map is not rationally injective.

Understanding the problem

Read the background

A uniformly discrete bounded-geometry coarse disjoint union of finite connected uniformly bounded-degree graphs has an infinite-order class in degree-one coarse K-homology that maps to zero under maximal coarse assembly, so that map is not rationally injective.

Why it matters

If correct, extends the graph-union counterexample to the universal maximal Roe-algebra target.

What counts as progress

Can maximal coarse assembly fail rational injectivity for bounded-geometry graph unions?
