For every dimension d, there is an infinite family of convex co-compact reflection groups of isometries of hyperbolic d-space --- the superideal (simplicial and cubical) reflection groups --- with the property that a random group at any…

We compute the group homology, the topological K-theory of the reduced C^*-algebra, the algebraic K-theory and the algebraic L-theory of the group ring of the semi-direct product of the three-dimensional discrete Heisenberg group by Z/4.…

Two series of W-algebras with two generators are constructed from chiral vertex operators of a free field representation. If $c = 1 - 24k$, there exists a W(2,3k) algebra for k in $Z_{+}/2$ and a W(2,8k) algebra for k in $Z_{+}/4$. All…

We compute rationally the topological (complex) K-theory of the classifying space BG of a discrete group provided that G has a cocompact G-CW-model for its classifying space for proper G-actions. For instance word-hyperbolic groups and…

A resolution of the intersection of a finite number of subgroups of an abelian group by means of their sums is constructed, provided the lattice generated by these subgroups is distributive. This is used for detecting singularities of…

We consider a class of cut-and-project sets $\Lambda = \Lambda_F \times \zahl$ in the plane. Let $L=\Lambda+w\real$, $w\in\real^2$, be a countable union of parallel lines. Then either (1) $L$ is a discrete family of lines, (2) $L$ is a…

This paper investigates the interplay between algebraic structure, topology, and differentiability in Clifford semigroups. The study is developed along three main themes. First, in the compact Hausdorff setting, we provide an explicit…

For every simple Hermitian Lie group $G$, we consider a certain maximal parabolic subgroup whose unipotent radical $N$ is either abelian (if $G$ is of tube type) or two-step nilpotent (if $G$ is of non-tube type). By the generalized…

We introduce and study "2-roots", which are symmetrized tensor products of orthogonal roots of Kac--Moody algebras. We concentrate on the case where $W$ is the Weyl group of a simply laced Y-shaped Dynkin diagram $Y_{a,b,c}$ having $n$…

Let $\cA$ be a commutative unital Banach algebra, $\g$ be a semisimple complex Lie algebra and $G(\cA)$ be the 1-connected Banach--Lie group with Lie algebra $\g \otimes \cA$. Then there is a natural concept of a parabolic subgroup $P(\cA)$…

We investigate the class of root systems $R$ obtained by extending an $A_1$-type irreducible root system by a free abelian group $G$. In this context there is a Weyl group $W$ and a group $U$ with the presentation by conjugation. Both…

We construct dense, unconditional subalgebras of the reduced group $C^*$-algebra of a word-hyperbolic group, which are closed under holomorphic functional calculus and possess many bounded traces. Applications to the cyclic cohomology of…

Steinberg's tensor product theorem shows that for semisimple algebraic groups the study of irreducible representations of higher Frobenius kernels reduces to the study of irreducible representations of the first Frobenius kernel. In the…

In a discrete group generated by hyperplane reflections in the $n$-dimensional hyperbolic space, the reflection length of an element is the minimal number of hyperplane reflections in the group that suffices to factor the element. For a…

A group may be considered $C^*$-stable if almost representations of the group in a $C^*$-algebra are always close to actual representations. We initiate a systematic study of which discrete groups are $C^*$-stable or only stable with…

We prove new homological stability results for general linear groups over finite fields. These results are obtained by constructing CW approximations to the classifying spaces of these groups, in the category of $E_\infty$-algebras, guided…

A referee found an error in the proof of the Theorem 2 that we could not fix. More precisely, the proof of Lemma 2.1 is incorrect. Hence the fact that integer cohomology of complement of toric Weyl arrangements is torsion free is still a…

We classify the simple modules for the rational Cherednik algebra that are irreducible when restricted to W, in the case when W is a finite Weyl group. The classification turns out to be closely related to the cuspidal two-sided cells in…

In this article we show that there exist measurable sets W in the plane with finite measure that tile the plane in a measurable way under the action of a expansive matrix A, an affine Weyl group W, and a full rank lattice G. This note is…

For every quiver (valued) of finite representation type we define a finitely presented group called a picture group. This group is very closely related to the cluster theory of the quiver. For example, positive expressions for the Coxeter…
