K-Theory and Homology
The cancellation theorem for Grothendieck-Witt-correspondences and Witt-correspondences between smooth varieties over an infinite prefect field $k$, $char k \neq 2$, is proved, the isomorphism…
We provide an interpretation of the APS index theorem of Piazza-Schick and Zeidler in terms of coarse homotopy theory. On the one hand we propose a motivic version of the boundary value problem, the index theorem, and the associated…
In this paper, we study the graded ring gr(X) defined by the K-theory of twisted flag variety X. In particular, Kunneth map from gr(R')(\otimes)gr(R') to gr(R) is studed explicitly for an original Rost motive R' and a generalized Rost…
We introduce the notion of (homological) G-smoothness for a complex G-variety X, where G is a connected affine algebraic group. This is based on the notion of smoothness for dg algebras and uses a suitable enhancement of the G-equivariant…
In this note, we give a general method to obtain unstable motivic cell structures, following Wendt's application of the Bialynicki-Birula algebraic Morse theory. We then apply the method to spherical varieties, with special attention to the…
Associated to a discrete group $G$, one has the topological category of finite dimensional (unitary) $G$-representations and (unitary) isomorphisms. Block sums provide this category with a permutative structure, and the associated…
Decomposition complexity for metric spaces was recently introduced by Guentner, Tessera, and Yu as a natural generalization of asymptotic dimension. We prove a vanishing result for the continuously controlled algebraic K-theory of bounded…
Deformation K-theory associates to each discrete group G a spectrum built from spaces of finite dimensional unitary representations of G. In all known examples, this spectrum is 2-periodic above the rational cohomological dimension of G…
We offer a short proof of Connes' Hochschild class of the Chern character formula for non-unital semifinite spectral triples. The proof is simple due to its reliance on the authors' extensive work on a refined version of the local index…
We describe quantum weighted lens spaces as total spaces of quantum principal circle bundles, using a Cuntz-Pimsner model. The corresponding Pimsner exact sequence is interpreted as a noncommutative analogue of the Gysin exact sequence. We…
We establish formulas for computation of the higher algebraic $K$-groups of the endomorphism rings of objects linked by a morphism in an additive category. Let ${\mathcal C}$ be an additive category, and let $Y\ra X$ be a covariant morphism…
We compute explicitly the K-groups of some boundary groupoid C*-algebras with exponential isotropy subgroups. Then we derive index formulas that computes the K-theoretic and Fredholm indexes of elliptic (respectively totally elliptic)…
We present a new approach to Poincare duality for Cuntz-Pimsner algebras. We provide sufficient conditions under which Poincare self-duality for the coefficient algebra of a Hilbert bimodule lifts to Poincare self-duality for the associated…
We show that Connes' B-operator on a cyclic differential graded k-module M is a model for the canonical circle action on the geometric realization of M. This implies that the negative cyclic homology and the periodic cyclic homology of a…
We give a concise introduction to the Farrell-Jones Conjecture in algebraic $K$-theory and to some of its applications. We survey the current status of the conjecture, and we illustrate the two main tools that are used to attack it:…
We prove the Banach strong Novikov conjecture for groups having polynomially bounded higher-order combinatorial functions. This includes all automatic groups.
A rigidity property for the homotopy invariant stable linear framed presheaves is established. As a consequence a variant of Gabber rigidity theorem is obtained for a cohomology theory representable in the motivic stable homotopy category…
We study the category of left unital graded modules over the Steinberg algebra of a graded ample Hausdorff groupoid. In the first part of the paper, we show that this category is isomorphic to the category of unital left modules over the…
We generalise the Atiyah-Segal-Singer fixed point theorem to noncompact manifolds. Using $KK$-theory, we extend the equivariant index to the noncompact setting, and obtain a fixed point formula for it. The fixed point formula is the…
We compute the isomorphism class in $\mathfrak{KK}^{alg}$ of all noncommutative generalized Weyl algebras $A=\CC[h](\sigma, P)$, where $\sigma(h)=qh+h_0$ is an automorphism of $\CC[h]$, except when $q\neq 1$ is a root of unity. In…
