We prove the Baum-Connes conjecture for hyperbolic groups and their subgroups.

In this paper, we introduce a notion of stable coarse algebras for metric spaces with bounded geometry, and formulate the twisted coarse Baum--Connes conjecture with respect to stable coarse algebras. We prove permanence properties of this…

This paper gives a proof of the Baum-Connes conjecture with coefficients for hyperbolic groups. More precisely the injectivity of the Baum-Connes map was established by Kasparov and Skandalis and we prove the surjectivity.

The 1973 Boone-Higman conjecture predicts that every finitely generated group with solvable word problem embeds in a finitely presented simple group. In this paper, we show that hyperbolic groups satisfy this conjecture, that is, each…

We prove that, if a group is relatively hyperbolic, the parabolic subgroups are virtually nilpotent if and only if there exists a hyperbolic space with bounded geometry on which it acts geometrically finitely. This provides, by use of M.…

We prove the Baum--Connes conjecture with arbitrary coefficients for some classes of groups: (1) Linear algebraic groups over a non-archimedean local field. (2) Linear algebraic groups over the adeles of a global field k, provided that at…

Let $1 \to N \to G \to G/N \to 1$ be a short exact sequence of countable discrete groups and let $B$ be any $G$-$C^*$-algebra. In this paper, we show that the strong Novikov conjecture with coefficients in $B$ holds for such a group $G$…

In this article, we prove a strong relative Novikov conjecture for any pair of groups that are coarsely embeddable into Hilbert space.

We prove the Borel Conjecture for a class of groups containing word-hyperbolic groups and groups acting properly, isometrically and cocompactly on a finite dimensional CAT(0)-space.

We establish a coarse version of the Cartan-Hadamard theorem, which states that proper coarsely convex spaces are coarsely homotopy equivalent to the open cones of their ideal boundaries. As an application, we show that such spaces satisfy…

We consider the equivariant Kasparov category associated to an \'etale groupoid, and by leveraging its triangulated structure we study its localization at the "weakly contractible" objects, extending previous work by R. Meyer and R. Nest.…

We study the coarse Baum-Connes conjecture for product spaces and product groups. We show that a product of CAT(0) groups, polycyclic groups and relatively hyperbolic groups which satisfy some assumptions on peripheral subgroups, satisfies…

We introduce a coarse flow space for relatively hyperbolic groups and use it to verify a regularity condition for the action of relatively hyperbolic groups on their boundaries. As an application the Farrell-Jones Conjecture for relatively…

We construct a strongly bolic metric for a certain class of relatively hyperbolic groups, which includes those with CAT(0) parabolics and virtually abelian parabolics. If we further assume that the parabolics satisfy (RD), applying a…

The relative Novikov conjecture states that the relative higher signatures of manifolds with boundary are invariant under orientation-preserving homotopy equivalences of pairs. In this paper, we study the relative Baum-Connes assembly map…

By deploying dense subalgebras of $\ell^1(G)$ we generalize the Bass conjecture in terms of Connes' cyclic homology theory. In particular, we propose a stronger version of the $\ell^1$-Bass Conjecture. We prove that hyperbolic groups…

The equivariant coarse Baum-Connes conjecture interpolates between the Baum-Connes conjecture for a discrete group and the coarse Baum-Connes conjecture for a proper metric space. In this paper, we study this conjecture under certain…

We introduce a class of metric spaces which we call "bolic". They include hyperbolic spaces, simply conneccted complete manifolds of nonpositive curvature, euclidean buildings, etc. We prove the Novikov conjecture on higher signatures for…

We show that a group that is hyperbolic relative to strongly shortcut groups is itself strongly shortcut, thus obtaining new examples of strongly shortcut groups. The proof relies on a result of independent interest: we show that every…

The Boone--Higman conjecture is that every recursively presented group with solvable word problem embeds in a finitely presented simple group. We discuss a brief history of this conjecture and work towards it. Along the way we describe some…
