We describe the structure of ``K-approximate subgroups'' of torsion-free nilpotent groups, paying particular attention to Lie groups. Three other works, by Fisher-Katz-Peng, Sanders and Tao, have appeared which independently address related…

This paper is a follow-up to our joint paper with I. Agol, P. Storm and K. Whyte "Finiteness of arithmetic hyperbolic reflection groups". The main purpose is to investigate the effective side of the method developed there and its possible…

We study equivariant Hermitian K-theory for representations of symplectic groups, especially $\mathrm{SL}_2$. The results are used to establish an Atiyah-Segal completion theorem for Hermitian $K$-theory and symplectic groups.

Let $G$ be a countable group that is the fundamental group of a graph of groups with finite edge groups and vertex groups that satisfy the strong Atiyah conjecture over $K \subseteq \mathbb{C}$ a field closed under complex conjugation.…

This paper collects the notes of a serie of lectures given by the two authors during the summer school "Geometric and topological methods for Quantum Field Theory" at Villa de Leyva, Colombia, summer 2007. These lecture notes are mainly…

Let $G$ be a compact, connected, simply-connected Lie group. We use the Fourier-Mukai transform in twisted $K$-theory to give a new proof of the ring structure of the $K$-theory of $G$.

In math.RT/0302174 we developed a framework to study representations of groups of the form $G((t))$, where $G$ is an algebraic group over a local field $K$. The main feature of this theory is that natural representations of groups of this…

This is the first in a series of papers investigating the relationship between the twisted equivariant K-theory of a compact Lie group G and the "Verlinde ring" of its loop group. In this paper we set up the foundations of twisted…

We prove, under some mild conditions, that the equivariant twisted K-theory group of a crossed module admits a ring structure if the twisting 2-cocycle is 2-multiplicative. We also give an explicit construction of the transgression map…

It has been proposed that cobordism and K-theory groups, which can be mathematically related in certain cases, are physically associated to generalised higher-form symmetries. As a consequence, they should be broken or gauged in any…

We describe how Lie groupoids are used in singular analysis, index theory and non-commutative geometry and give a brief overview of the theory. We also expose groupoid proofs of the Atiyah-Singer index theorem and discuss the Baum-Connes…

We prove an Atiyah-Segal isomorphism for the higher $K$-theory of coherent sheaves on quotient Deligne-Mumford stacks over $\C$. As an application, we prove the Grothendieck-Riemann-Roch theorem for such stacks. This theorem establishes an…

This paper introduces a new approach to the study of certain aspects of Galois module theory by combining ideas arising from the study of the Galois structure of torsors of finite group schemes with techniques coming from relative algebraic…

Let $G$ be a connected semisimple Lie group with its maximal compact subgroup $K$ being simply-connected. We show that the twisted equivariant $KK$-theory $KK^{\bullet}_{G}(G/K, \tau_G^G)$ of $G$ has a ring structure induced from the…

Let A a regular F_p-algebra. The relative K-groups K_q(A[x]/(x^m),(x)) and the Nil-groups Nil_q(A[x]/(x^m)) were evaluated earlier by the author and Madsen in terms of the big de Rham-Witt groups of the ring A. In this paper, we evaluate…

This article will explore the K- and L-theory of group rings and their applications to algebra, geometry and topology. The Farrell-Jones Conjecture characterizes K- and L-theory groups. It has many implications, including the Borel and…

Structure monoids and groups are algebraic invariants of equational varieties. We show how to construct presentations of these objects from coherent categorifications of equational varieties, generalising several results of Dehornoy. We…

By using higher K-theory, we study deformation theory of K-theoretic cycles. As an application, we answer two questions posed by Mark Green and Philip Griffiths: (1). How to define tangent spaces to cycle class groups in general? (2).…

This is an expository paper which aims at explaining a physical point of view on the K-theoretic classification of D-branes. We combine ideas of renormalization group flows between boundary conformal field theories, together with spacetime…

We review some recent results on $K$-theory of perfection of commutative $\mF_p$-algebras and provide an alternative proof.
