We explain how the Harish-Chandra Plancherel Theorem and results in relative Lie algebra cohomology can be used in order to compute in a uniform way the $L^2$-Betti numbers, the Novikov-Shubin invariants, and the $L^2$-torsion of compact…
We study spectral theory for bounded Borel subsets of $\br$ and in particular finite unions of intervals. For Hilbert space, we take $L^2$ of the union of the intervals. This yields a boundary value problem arising from the minimal operator…
Stefan and Guichardet have provided Lyndon-Hochschild-Serre type spectral sequences which converge to the Hochschild cohomology and Ext groups of a smash product. We show that these spectral sequences carry natural multiplicative…
In this note we define a subgroup $H^i_{nr,\pi}$ of unramified cohomology group $H^i_{nr}$ of a fibration $\pi:X\to S$. This subgroup can be used efficiently in refined specialization arguments and allows to detect the failure of stable…
In a recent preprint, Sakellaridis and Venkatesh considered the spectral decomposition of the space $L^2(X)$, where $X = H\G$ is a spherical variety and $G$ is a real or $p$-adic group, and stated a conjecture describing this decomposition…
This thesis is devoted to the study of Lie bialgebra and Hopf algebra structures related to certain versions of non-commutative geometry constructed on infinite-dimensional Lie algebras that arise in the context of asymptotic symmetries of…
We develop cohomological and homological theories for a profinite group $G$ with coefficients in the Pontryagin dual categories of pro-discrete and ind-profinite $G$-modules, respectively. The standard results of group (co)homology hold for…
We unify the known basic theories on $L^2$-Betti numbers and costs in the framework of probability measure preserving discrete groupoids.
We propose an intuitive interpretation for nontrivial $L^2$-Betti numbers of compact Riemann surfaces in terms of certain loops in embedded pairs of pants. This description uses twisted homology associated to the Hurewicz map of the…
We briefly review an open conjecture about Higgs bundles that are semistable with after pulling back to any curve, and prove it in the rank 2 case. We also prove a set of inequalities holding for H-nef Higgs bundles that generalize some of…
We prove the Singer conjecture for varieties with semismall Albanese map and residually finite fundamental group.
For any finite group G, we construct a spectral sequence for computing the Bredon cohomology of a G-CW complex X, starting with the cohomology of X^H/\cup_{K>H}X^K with suitable local coefficients, for various H \leq G.
Let $G$ be a real linear reductive group and let $H$ be a unimodular, locally algebraic subgroup. Let $\operatorname{supp} L^2(G/H)$ be the set of irreducible unitary representations of $G$ contributing to the decomposition of $L^2(G/H)$,…
We calculate the characteristic classes for flat SL(n,R) and Sp(2m,R)-bundles over a compact surface as functions of the spectral data in the Higgs bundle description, which consists of the points of order 2 in an abelian variety. Using…
Let $R_s M$ denote the Singer construction on an unstable module $M$ over the Steenrod algebra $A$ at the prime two; $R_s M$ is canonically a subobject of $P_s\otimes M$, where $P_s$ is the polynomial algebra on s generators of degree one.…
We study the asymptotic behaviour of Betti numbers, twisted torsion and other spectral invariants of sequences of locally symmetric spaces. Our main results are uniform versions of the DeGeorge--Wallach Theorem, of a theorem of Delorme and…
We use the Leray spectral sequence for the sheaf cohomology groups with compact supports to obtain a vanishing result. The stalks of sheaves $R^{\bullet}\phi_{!}\mathcal{O}$ for the structure sheaf $\mathcal{O}$ on the total space of a…
We discuss the Adams Spectral Sequence for R-modules based on commutative localized regular quotient ring spectra over a commutative S-algebra R in the sense of Elmendorf, Kriz, Mandell, May and Strickland. The formulation of this spectral…
We study L^2-Betti numbers for von Neumann algebras, as defined by D. Shlyakhtenko and A. Connes. We give a definition of L^2-cohomology and show how the study of the first L^2-Betti number can be related with the study of derivations with…
We prove the $l^2$ Decoupling Conjecture for compact hypersurfaces with positive definite second fundamental form and also for the cone. This has a wide range of important consequences. One of them is the validity of the Discrete…
