Using the analytic assembly map that appears in the Baum-Connes conjecture in noncommutative geometry, we generalise the $\Spin^c$-version of the Guillemin-Sternberg conjecture that `quantisation commutes with reduction' to (discrete series…

In this paper we study varieties covered by rational or elliptic curves. First, we show that images of Calabi-Yau or irreducible symplectic varieties under rational maps are almost always rationally connected. Second, we investigate…

Given any separable complex Hilbert space, any trace-class operator $B$ which does not have purely imaginary trace, and any generator $L$ of a norm-continuous one-parameter semigroup of completely positive maps we prove that there exists a…

For a conjugation $C$ on a separable, complex Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$, the set $\mathcal{S}_C$ of $C$-symmetric operators on $\mathcal{H}$ forms a weakly closed, selfadjoint, Jordan operator algebra. In this paper we study…

If A is a homotopy cartesian square of ring spectra satisfying connectivity hypotheses, then the cube induced by Goodwillie's integral cyclotomic trace from K(A) to TC(A) is homotopy cartesian. In other words, the homotopy fiber of the…

We study homological invariants of the Steinberg algebra $\mathcal{A}_k(\mathcal{G})$ of an ample groupoid $\mathcal{G}$ over a commutative ring $k$. For $\mathcal{G}$ principal or Hausdorff with…

Let $f:A \to B$ be a ring homomorphism of not necessarily unital rings and $I\triangleleft A$ an ideal which is mapped by f isomorphically to an ideal of B. The obstruction to excision in K-theory is the failure of the map between relative…

In this paper we compute the K-theory (algebraic and topological) and entire periodic cyclic homology for compact quantum groups, define Chern characters between them and show that the Chern characters in both topological and algebraic…

Let M be a closed enlargeable spin manifold. We show non-triviality of the universal index obstruction in the K-theory of the maximal $C^*$-algebra of the fundamental group of M. Our proof is independent from the injectivity of the…

Let $X$ be a rational homogeneous space and let $QH^*(X)_{loc}^\times$ be the group of invertible elements in the small quantum cohomology ring of $X$ localised in the quantum parameters. We generalise results of arXiv:math/0609796 and…

We consider the action of a real reductive group G on a Kaehler manifold Z which is the restriction of a holomorphic action of the complexified group G^C. We assume that the induced action of a compatible maximal compact subgroup U of G^C…

This paper continues our investigation into the question of when a homotopy $\omega = \{\omega_t\}_{t \in [0,1]}$ of 2-cocycles on a locally compact Hausdorff groupoid $\mathcal{G}$ gives rise to an isomorphism of the $K$-theory groups of…

Let Gamma be a semidirect product of the form Z^n rtimes Z/p where p is prime and the Z/p-action on Z^n is free away from the origin. We will compute the topological K-theory of the real and complex group C*-algebra of Gamma and show that…

We give a new proof, using comparatively simple techniques, of the Sullivan conjecture: the space of pointed maps from the classifying space of the cyclic group of order $p$ to any finite-dimensional CW complex $K$ is contractible.

In an earlier paper, two of the authors defined a $5$-vertex Yang-Baxter algebra (a Hopf algebra) which acts on the sum of the equivariant quantum K-rings of Grassmannians $\mathrm{Gr}(k;n)$, where $k$ varies from $0$ to $n$. We construct…

Let $\Gamma$ be a torsion-free arithmetic group acting on its associated global symmetric space $X$. Assume that $X$ is of non-compact type and let $\Gamma$ act on the geodesic boundary $\partial X$ of $X$. Via general constructions in…

Let C be the complex field and K=C((x,y)) or K=C((x))(y). Let G be a connected linear algebraic group over K. Under the assumption that the K-variety G is K-rational, i.e. that the function field is purely transcendant, it was proved that a…

We extend the stable motivic homotopy category of Voevodsky to the class of scalloped algebraic stacks, and show that it admits the formalism of Grothendieck's six operations. Objects in this category represent generalized cohomology…

We show that continuous group homomorphisms between unitary groups of unital C*-algebras induce maps between spaces of continuous real-valued affine functions on the trace simplices. Under certain $K$-theoretic regularity conditions, these…

Let $G$ be a second-countable, locally compact group. In this article we study amenable $G$-actions on Kirchberg algebras that admit an approximately central embedding of a canonical quasi-free action on the Cuntz algebra…
