The main result states that if the group is strongly exact in the sense that the inclusion of the group C*-algebra into the uniform Roe algebra of the group is a nuclear embedding then the Novikov conjecture holds for that group.This is a Latex2e file with 12 pagesOperator AlgebrasAlgebraic Topology46L87; 57R20text
