This is an announcement for the paper “On the coarse geometry of the James space” by Gilles Lancien<https://arxiv.org/search?searchtype=author&query=Lancien%2C+G>, Colin Petitjean<https://arxiv.org/search?searchtype=author&query=Petitjean%2C+C>, Antonín Procházka<https://arxiv.org/search?searchtype=author&query=Proch%C3%A1zka%2C+A>. Abstract: In this note we prove that Kalton's interlaced graphs do not equi-coarsely embed into the James space J. This allows us to exhibit a coarse invariant for Banach spaces, namely the non equi-coarse embeddability of this family of graphs, which is very close but different from the celebrated property Q of Kalton.
