This is a survey paper about representation theory and noncommutative geometry of reductive p-adic groups G. The main focus points are: 1. The structure of the Hecke algebra H(G), the Harish-Chandra-Schwartz algebra S(G) and the reduced…
In this paper, we study $k$-parabolic arrangements, a generalization of $k$-equal arrangements for finite real reflection groups. When $k=2$, these arrangements correspond to the well-studied Coxeter arrangements. Brieskorn (1971) showed…
Soibelman's theory of quantized function algebra A_q(SL_n) provides a representation theoretical scheme to construct a solution of the Zamolodchikov tetrahedron equation. We extend this idea originally due to Kapranov and Voevodsky to…
We describe the lower algebraic $K$-theory of the integral group ring of both the pure and full braid groups of the real projective plane $\mathbb{R}P^2$ with $3$ strings, as well as that of the integral group ring of the mapping class…
Let k be a regular F_p-algebra, let A = k[x,y]/(x^b - y^a) be the coordinate ring of a planar cuspical curve, and let I = (x,y) be the ideal that defines the cusp point. We give a formula for the relative K-groups K_q(A,I) in terms of the…
Polypolyhedra are edge-transitive compounds of polyhedra. In this paper we use group theory to determine the number of distinct polypolyhedra whose symmetry group is any given finite irreducible Coxeter group. We apply this result in order…
We give formulas for the Whitehead groups and the rational $K$-theory groups of the (integer group ring of the) Hilbert modular group in terms of its maximal finite subgroups.
In this paper we study coisotropic reduction in multisymplectic geometry. On the one hand, we give an interpretation of Hamiltonian multivector fields as Lagrangian submanifolds and prove that $k$-coisotropic submanifolds induce a Lie…
Let W be an irreducible finitely generated Coxeter group. The geometric representation of W in GL(V) provides a discrete embedding in the orthogonal group of the Tits form (the associated bilinear form of the Coxeter group). If the Tits…
This is an overview of results from our experiment of merging two seemingly unrelated disciplines - higher algebraic K-theory of rings and the theory of lattice polytopes. The usual K-theory is the ``theory of a unit simplex''. A conjecture…
We construct here many families of K3 surfaces that one can obtain as quotients of algebraic surfaces by some subgroups of the rank four complex reflection groups. We find in total 15 families with at worst $ADE$--singularities. In…
We investigate the relative assembly map from the family of finite subgroups to the family of virtually cyclic subgroups for the algebraic $K$-theory of twisted group rings of a group G with coefficients in a regular ring R or, more…
A Coxeter polytope is a convex polytope in a real projective space equipped with linear reflections in its facets, such that the orbits of the polytope under the action of the group generated by the linear reflections tessellate a convex…
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 investigate graded retracts of polytopal algebras (essentially the homogeneous rings of affine cones over projective toric varieties) as polytopal analogues of vector spaces. In many cases we show that these retracts are again polytopal…
We study and classify a class of representations (called generalized geometric representations) of a Coxeter group of finite rank. These representations can be viewed as a natural generalization of the geometric representation. The…
Aiming for a revival of the theory of crystallographic complex reflection groups, we compute (minimal) Coxeter-like reflection presentations for the infinite families of those non-genuine groups which satisfy Steinberg's fixed point…
The Hochschild cohomology ring of a group algebra is an object that has received recent attention, but is difficult to compute, in even the simplest of cases. In this paper, we use the product formula due to Witherspoon and Siegel to extend…
The automorphism groups of integral Lorentzian lattices act by isometries on hyperbolic space with finite covolume. In the case of reflective integral lattices, the automorphism groups are commensurable to arithmetic hyperbolic reflection…
We give a criterion for a finitely generated odd-angled Coxeter group to have a proper finite index subgroup generated by reflections. The answer is given in terms of the least prime divisors of the exponents of the Coxeter relations.
