Abstract
In {xc[17]}, it was shown that for every group Γ with a left-invariant metric d such that (Γ, d) has bounded geometry, and which admits a uniform embedding into Hilbert space, the Baum-Connes assembly map with coefficients is split injective. In this paper, we strengthen this result by showing that Γ has a gamma element.
