We compute the groupoid homology for the ample groupoids associated with algebraic actions from rings of algebraic integers and integral dynamics. We derive results for the homology of the topological full groups associated with rings of…

We initiate a careful study of a generalized symmetric imprimitivity theory for commuting proper actions of locally compact groups H and K on a C*-algebra.

Let A denote the C*-algebra of bounded operators on L^2(RxS^1) generated by: (a) multiplications by smooth functions on S^1; (b) multiplications by continuous functions on the two point compactification of R; (c) multiplications by…

Motivated by the harmonic analysis of self-affine measures, we introduce a class of representations of the Cuntz algebra associated to random walks on graphs. The representations are constructed using the dilation theory of row…

Let $X$ be an affine algebraic variety endowed with an action of complexity one of an algebraic torus $\mathbb{T}$. It is well known that homogeneous locally nilpotent derivations on the algebra of regular functions $\mathbb{K}[X]$ can be…

We calculate the rational cohomology of the commuting variety $X_{G, n}$ consisting of $n$-tuples of commuting elements of a compact reductive group $G$. This is done by studying a map from a related variety $Y_{G, n}$, which has easily…

We study the twisted K-theory and K-homology of some infinite dimensional spaces, like SU(\infty), in the bivariant setting. Using a general procedure due to Cuntz we construct a bivariant K-theory on the category of separable…

With techniques borrowed from quantum information theory, we develop a method to systematically obtain operator inequalities and identities in several matrix variables. These take the form of trace polynomials: polynomial-like expressions…

Consider a compact prequantizable symplectic manifold M on which a compact Lie group G acts in a Hamiltonian fashion. The ``quantization commutes with reduction'' theorem asserts that the G-invariant part of the equivariant index of M is…

In this short note we prove that a matrix $A\in\mathbb{R}^{n,n}$ is self-adjoint if and only if it is equivariant with respect to the action of a group $\Gamma\subset {\bf O}(n)$ which is isomorphic to $\otimes_{k=1}^n\mathbf{Z}_2$.…

In this paper we prove a version of Connes' trace theorem for noncommutative tori of any dimension~$n\geq 2$. This allows us to recover and improve earlier versions of this result in dimension $n=2$ and $n=4$ by Fathizadeh-Khalkhali. We…

Kennard, Khalili Samani, and Searle showed that for a $\mathbb{Z}_2$-torus acting on a closed, positively curved Riemannian $n$-manifold, $M^{n}$, with a non-empty fixed point set for $n$ large enough and $r$ approximately half the…

The paper studies various properties of the V-line transform (VLT) in the plane and conical Radon transform (CRT) in $\mathbb{R}^n$. VLT maps a function to a family of its integrals along trajectories made of two rays emanating from a…

A product system E over a semigroup P is a family of Hilbert spaces {E_s:s\in P} together with multiplications E_s \times E_t\to E_{st}. We view E as a unitary- valued cocycle on P, and consider twisted crossed products A \times_{\beta,E} P…

Let $A$ be a commutative ring with unity and $B = A[\theta]$ be an integral extension of $A$. Assume that $B$ is an integral domain with quotient field $\mathbb{K}$ and $\mathbb{E}$ is the minimal splitting field of $\theta$ over…

Let $K$ be a homogeneous self-similar set satisfying the strong separation condition. This paper is concerned with the quantitative recurrence properties of the natural map $T: K\rightarrow K$ induced by the shift. Let $\mu$ be the natural…

Given a nilpotent Lie group $N$, a compact subgroup $K$ of automorphisms of $N$ and an irreducible unitary representation $(\tau,W_\tau)$ of $K$, we study conditions on $\tau$ for the commutativity of the algebra of…

Liedtke (2008) has introduced group functors $K$ and $\tilde K$, which are used in the context of describing certain invariants for complex algebraic surfaces. He proved that these functors are connected to the theory of central extensions…

For a proper, cocompact action by a locally compact group of the form $H \times G$, with $H$ compact, we define an $H \times G$-equivariant index of $H$-transversally elliptic operators, which takes values in $KK_*(C^*H, C^*G)$. This…

We show that the Baum-Connes morphism twisted by a non-unitary representation, defined in [GA08], is an isomorphism for a large class of groups satisfying the Baum-Connes conjecture. Such class contains all the real semi-simple Lie groups,…
