Failure of rational injectivity for maximal coarse assembly

What the paper claims, in its own words

Constructs a uniformly discrete bounded-geometry space whose maximal coarse assembly map is not rationally injective. The example is a coarse disjoint union of finite connected graphs of uniformly bounded degree, with an infinite-order kernel class. A companion gives the analogous failure for reduced coarse assembly, disproving the rational coarse Novikov conjecture.
