We study locally compact contractive local groups, that is, locally compact local groups with a contractive pseudo-automorphism. We prove that if such an object is locally connected, then it is locally isomorphic to a Lie group. We also…

We associate to every $G$-bornological coarse space $X$ and every left-exact $\infty$-category with $G$-action a left-exact infinity-category of equivariant $X$-controlled objects. Postcomposing with algebraic K-theory leads to {new}…

Consider a Hamiltonian action of a compact Lie group H on a compact symplectic manifold (M,w) and let G be a subgroup of the diffeomorphism group Diff(M). We develop techniques to decide when the maps on rational homotopy and rational…

We show that Mandell's inverse $K$-theory functor from $\Gamma$-categories to permutative categories preserves multiplicative structure. This is a first step towards an equivariant generalization that would be inverse to the construction of…

We give a new elementary proof of the theorem that a natural map from Milnor's construction $F[S^1]$ to the simplicial group $\mathrm{AP}$ of pure braids is injective. Our approach is group-theoretic and does not rely on Lie algebras.

We construct a functor from the category of graphs to the category of groups which is faithful and "almost" full, in the sense that it induces bijections of the Hom sets up to trivial homomorphisms and conjugation in the category of groups.…

We introduce the notion of Kan injectivity in 2-categories and study its properties. For an adequate 2-category $\mathcal{K}$, we show that every set of morphisms $\mathcal{H}$ induces a KZ-pseudomonad on $\mathcal{K}$ whose 2-category of…

Let $A$ be an $n$-dimensional algebra over a field $k$ and $a(A)$ its quantum symmetry semigroup. We prove that the automorphisms group ${\rm Aut}_{\rm Alg} (A)$ of $A$ is isomorphic to the group $U \bigl( G(a (A)^{\rm o} ) \bigl)$ of all…

Let F be a finite group with a Sylow 2-subgroup S that is normal and abelian. Using hyperelementary induction and cartesian squares, we prove that Cappell's unitary nilpotent groups UNil_*(Z[F];Z[F],Z[F]) have an induced isomorphism to the…

We consider $\,R-$modules as functors in the following way: if $\,M\,$ is a (left) $R$-module, let $\,\mathcal M\,$ be the functor of $\,\mathcal R-$modules defined by $\,\mathcal M(S) := S \otimes_R M\,$ for every $\,R-$algebra $\,S$. With…

Let $W$ be a finite Coxeter group. We classify the reflection subgroups of $W$ up to conjugacy and give necessary and sufficient conditions for the map that assigns to a reflection subgroup $R$ of $W$ the conjugacy class of its Coxeter…

The homological properties of localizations and completions of metabelian groups are studied. It is shown that, for $R=\mathbb Q$ or $R=\mathbb Z/n$ and a finitely presented metabelian group $G$, the natural map from $G$ to its…

By using a similar pattern of arguments, we show that in three categories the collection of isomorphisms forms a residual subset of the space of morphisms. We first consider surjective continuous mappings on Cantor spaces. Next, we look at…

We develop a representation theory of categories as a means to explore characteristic structures in algebra. Characteristic structures play a critical role in isomorphism testing of groups and algebras, and their construction and…

We prove the K- and L-theoretic Farrell-Jones Conjecture (with coefficients in additive categories) for virtually solvable groups.

Let PSigma_n denote the group that can be thought of either as the group of motions of the trivial n-component link or the group of symmetric automorphisms of a free group of rank n. The integral cohomology ring of PSigma_n is determined,…

Clifford theory relates the representation theory of finite groups to those of a fixed normal subgroup by means of induction and restriction, which is an adjoint pair of functors. We generalize this result to the situation of a…

We develop an explicit covering theory for complexes of groups, parallel to that developed for graphs of groups by Bass. Given a covering of developable complexes of groups, we construct the induced monomorphism of fundamental groups and…

We give an explicit description of the set of all factorization structures, or twisting maps, existing between the algebras k^2 and k^2, and classify the resulting algebras up to isomorphism. In the process we relate several different…

In this paper we show that the fibered isomorphism conjecture of Farrell and Jones corresponding to the stable topological pseudoisotopy functor is true for the fundamental groups of a large class of complex manifolds. A consequence of this…
