We establish the splitting principle for differential K-theory, a refinement of topological K-theory that incorporates geometric data via differential forms. Using this principle, we prove that the differential $K^0$-ring associated to…

Let $A$ be a C*-algebra, $J \subset A$ a C*-subalgebra, and let $B$ be a stable C*-algebra. Under modest assumptions we organize invertible C*-extensions of $A$ by $B$ that are trivial when restricted onto $J$ to become a group…

Motivated by work on the homotopy classification of $4$-manifolds with boundary, we define a relative $k$-invariant for pairs of spaces that are homotopy equivalent to CW pairs. We show that for such a pair $(X,Y)$ with Postnikov $2$-type…

The concept of relative sectional category expands upon classical sectional category theory by incorporating the pullback of a fibration along a map. Our paper aims not only to explore this extension but also to thoroughly investigate its…

For G an almost-connected Lie group, we study G-equivariant index theory for proper co-compact actions with various applications, including obstructions to and existence of G-invariant Riemannian metrics of positive scalar curvature. We…

We study invariants associated to Smale spaces obtained from an expanding endomorphism on a (closed connected Riemannian) flat manifold. Specifically, the relevant invariants are the $K$-theory of the associated $C^*$-algebras and Putnam's…

Let $\mathcal C$ be a small category with cofibrations. In this paper, we define the $K$-theory and Hochschild homology groups of $\mathcal C$ of order $Y$, where $Y$ is an ordered finite simplicial set with basepoint. Further, we construct…

A linear algebraic group G is over a field K is called a Cayley K-group if it admits a Cayley map, i.e., a G-equivariant K-birational isomorphism between the group variety G and its Lie algebra. We classify real reductive algebraic groups…

We show an Uhlenbeck type estimate for closed simply connected manifolds which provides the existence of certain exact sequences in K-area homology. This leads to the behavior of the K-area homology under surgery. Moreover, we give an index…

Let ${\rm GK}(G)$ be the prime graph associated with a finite group $G$ and $D(G)$ be the degree pattern of $G$. A finite group $G$ is said to be $k$-fold OD-characterizable if there exist exactly $k$ non-isomorphic groups $H$ such that…

We study Lie group structures on groups of the form C^\infty(M,K)}, where M is a non-compact smooth manifold and K is a, possibly infinite-dimensional, Lie group. First we prove that there is at most one Lie group structure with Lie algebra…

We give a new proof of the universal property of $KK^G$-theory with respect to stability, homotopy invariance and split-exactness for $G$ a locally compact group, or a locally compact (not necessarily Hausdorff) groupoid, or a countable…

The correspondence between two geometrical descriptions of the KP-hierarchy, one by discrete surface and another by difference analogue of differential geometry, is given.

We study a second order differential equation corresponding to rotationally symmetric $F$-harmonic maps between certain noncompact manifolds. We show unique continuation and Liouville's type theorems for positive solutions. Asymptotic…

For a compact Lie group acting on a smooth manifold, we define the differential cohomology of a certain quotient stack involving principal bundles with connection. This produces differential equivariant cohomology groups that map to the…

For a pair of spaces $X$ and $Y$ such that $Y \subseteq X$, we define the relative topological complexity of the pair $(X,Y)$ as a new variant of relative topological complexity. Intuitively, this corresponds to counting the smallest number…

This is the first of two papers which aim to understand quasi-isometries of a subclass of unimodular split solvable Lie groups. In the present paper, we show that locally (in a coarse sense), a quasi-isometry between two groups in this…

In [1] it was shown that K^, a certain differential cohomology functor associated to complex K-theory, satisfies the Mayer-Vietoris property when the underlying manifold is compact. It turns out that this result is quite general. The work…

We extend the notion of an almost flat bundle over a closed Riemannian manifold to bundles over simplicial complexes, and prove that up to a constant factor, this notion is invariant under pullback via maps which induce isomorphisms on…

We develop differential algebraic K-theory of regular arithmetic schemes. Our approach is based on a new construction of a functorial, spectrum level Beilinson regulator using differential forms. We construct a cycle map which represents…
