China) Abstract: The relationship between the maximal and reduced -equivariant Roe algebras of a metric space relies on the properties of the metric space and group. If an amenable group acts by isometries on a uniformly discrete, bounded ge- ometry metric space with Property A, then the maximal -equivariant (uniform) Roe algebra is isomorphic to the reduced -equivariant (uniform) Roe algebra.
