We formulate and prove relative versions of several classical decompositions known in the theory of Chevalley groups over commutative rings. As an application we obtain upper estimates for the width of principal congruence subgroups in…

For profinite branch groups, we first demonstrate the equivalence of the Bergman property, uncountable cofinality, Cayley boundedness, the countable index property, and the condition that every non-trivial normal subgroup is open; compact…

We prove that any word hyperbolic group which is virtually compact special (in the sense of Haglund and Wise) is conjugacy separable. As a consequence we deduce that all word hyperbolic Coxeter groups and many classical small cancellation…

A recurring theme in finite group theory is understanding how the structure of a finite group is determined by the arithmetic properties of group invariants. There are results in the literature determining the structure of finite groups…

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…

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…

Let $G$ be the fundamental group of a three-manifold. By piecing together many known facts about three manifold groups, we establish two properties of the group ring $\mathbb{C}G$. We show that if $G$ has rational cohomological dimension…

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…

We generalize Illusie's definition of the Atiyah class to complexes with quasi-coherent cohomology on arbitrary algebraic stacks. We show that this gives a global obstruction theory for moduli stacks of complexes in algebraic geometry…

We show that if the Atiyah Jones conjecture holds for a surface $X,$ then it also holds for the blow-up of $X$ at a point. Since the conjecture is known to hold for ${\mathbb P}^2$ and for ruled surfaces, it follows that the conjecture is…

We introduce the notion of a bicollapsible 2-complex. This allows us to generalize the hyperbolicity of one-relator groups with torsion to a broader class of groups with presentations whose relators are proper powers. We also prove that…

We define strict C(n) small-cancellation complexes, intermediate to C(n) and C(n+1), and we prove groups acting properly cocompactly on a simply-connected strict C(6) complex are hyperbolic relative to a collection of maximal virtually free…

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.

We follow in this paper a recent line of work, consisting in characterizing the periodically rigid finitely generated groups, i.e., the groups for which every subshift of finite type which is weakly aperiodic is also strongly aperiodic. In…

Continuing recent studies of both the hereditary and super properties of certain classes of Abelian groups, we explore in-depth what is the situation in the quite large class consisting of directly finite Abelian groups. Trying to connect…

We prove an explicit formula for the truncated Atiyah class of a bounded complex of vector bundles. Furthermore, we show that the first truncated Chern class of such a complex only depends on its determinant.

Fundamental conjectures in modular representation theory of finite groups, more precisely, Alperin's Weight Conjecture and Robinson's Ordinary Weight Conjecture, can be expressed in terms of fusion systems. We use fusion systems to connect…

Let G be a group such that its finite subgroups have bounded order, let d denote the lowest common multiple of the orders of the finite subgroups of G, and let K be a subfield of C that is closed under complex conjugation. Let U(G) denote…

In the paper we complete the classification of Carter subgroups in finite almost simple groups. In particular, we prove that Carter subgroups of every finite almost simple group are conjugate. Togeather with previous results by author and…

We study the compatibility of Arthur's conjecture for $R$-groups in the restriction of discrete series representations from Levi subgroups of a $p$-adic group to those of its closed subgroup having the same derived group. The compatibility…
