This is the author's PhD-thesis, which was written in 2006. The version posted here is identical to the printed one. Instead of an abstract, the short list of contents: Preface 5 1 Introduction 9 2 K-theory and cyclic type homology theories…

In a previous paper, we introduced Mysterious Triality as an extension, via algebraic topology in the form of rational homotopy theory, of Mysterious Duality by Iqbal, Neitzke, and Vafa, which provides connections between physics, in the…

This talk introduces the contributions of the lecturers to the international summer school ``Historical Development of Modern Cosmology'' held at the Universidad Internacional Men\'endez Pelayo, Valencia, Spain, during September 18-22 2000.

This is an expanded version of the author's lecture at the Conference in Commutative Algebra and Algebraic Geometry in Messina Italy in June 1999. The purpose of the talk was to give a brief introduction to the subject of tight closure,…

We apply the degree formula for connective $K$-theory to study rational contractions of algebraic varieties. Examples include rationally connected varieties and complete intersections.

Using the root adjunction formalism developed in an earlier work and logarithmic THH, we obtain a simplified computation of $T(2)_*\text{K}(ku)$ for $p>3$. Through this, we also produce a new algebraic $K$-theory computation; namely we…

We use topological K-theory to study non-singular varieties with quadratic entry locus. We thus obtain a new proof of Russo's Divisibility Property for locally quadratic entry locus manifolds. In particular we obtain a K-theoretic proof of…

This is a write-up of some lectures I gave in the Fall of 2021 at the Fields Institute in Toronto, as part of the Thematic Programme on Trends in Pure and Applied Model Theory. The goal of the module was to give a quick introduction to the…

These notes are an expanded version of an introductory lecture on contact geometry given at the 2001 Georgia Topology Conference. They are intended to present some of the "topological" aspects of three dimensional contact geometry.

We consider several ways of decomposing models into parts of bounded size forming a congruence over a base, and show that admitting any such decomposition is equivalent to mutual algebraicity at the level of theories. We also show that a…

Let $\mathcal{G}$ be an algebraic quantum group. We introduce an equivariant algebraic $kk$-theory for $\mathcal{G}$-module algebras. We study an adjointness theorem related with smash product and trivial action. We also discuss a duality…

The paper revisits concretely the algebraic K-theory in the light of the global program of Langlands by taking into account the new algebraic interpretation of homotopy viewed as deformation(s) of Galois representations given by…

Talk 1: Open problems in knot theory that everyone can try to solve. Knot theory is more than two hundred years old; the first scientists who considered knots as mathematical objects were A.Vandermonde (1771) and C.F.Gauss (1794). However,…

We introduce and study a $K$-theory of twisted bundles for associative algebras $A(\mathfrak g)$ of formal series with an infinite-Lie algebra coefficients over arbitrary compact topological spaces. Fibers of such bundles are given by…

We propose the Roe C*-algebra from coarse geometry as a model for topological phases of disordered materials. We explain the robustness of this C*-algebra and formulate the bulk-edge correspondence in this framework. We describe the map…

If the generalized dynamics of K field theories (i.e., field theories with a non-standard kinetic term) is taken into account, then the possibility of so-called twin-like models opens up, that is, of different field theories which share the…

In the week 3--9, October 2010, the Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut at Oberwolfach hosted a mini workshop Linear Series on Algebraic Varieties. These notes contain a variety of interesting problems which motivated the participants prior…

C*-algebras generalizing Cuntz-Krieger algebras can be associated to hyperbolic homeomorphisms of compact metric spaces. They satisfy a non-commutative form of Spanier-Whitehead duality with respect to K-theory. We prove this for the case…

This is an appendix to the paper {\bf Asymptotic K-theory for groups acting on $\tA_2$ buildings}, and contains the results of the computations performed by the authors.
