Streszczenie
We provide a proof that the vanishing of $\ell ^2$-Betti numbers of unimodular locally compact second countable groups is an invariant of coarse equivalence. To this end, we define coarse $\ell ^2$-cohomology for locally compact groups and show that it is isomorphic to continuous cohomology for unimodular groups and invariant under coarse equivalence.
