Kasparov $KK$-groups $KK(A,B)$ are represented as homotopy groups of the Pedersen-Weibel nonconnective algebraic $K$-theory spectrum of the additive category of Fredholm $(A,B)$-bimodules for $A$ and $B$, respectively, a separable and…

Let G be a reductive algebraic group over a local field K or a global field F. It is well know that there exists a non-trivial and interesting representation theory of the group G(K) as well as the theory of automorphic forms on the…

We prove the K-theoretic Farrell-Jones Conjecture for hyperbolic groups with (twisted) coefficients in any associative ring with unit.

Motivated by classical facts concerning closed manifolds, we introduce a strong finiteness property in K-homology. We say that a C*-algebra has uniformly summable K-homology if all its K-homology classes can be represented by Fredholm…

We build on previous work on multirings (\cite{roberto2021quadratic}) that provides generalizations of the available abstract quadratic forms theories (special groups and real semigroups) to the context of multirings…

We prove that $\mathrm{St}(n, A)$ is a crossed module over $\mathrm{GL}(n, A)$ under a local stable rank condition on an algebra $A$ over a commutative ring. Our proof uses only elementary localization techniques in terms of pro-groups and…

D. B. Cohen, C. Goodman-Strauss, and the author proved that a hyperbolic group admits an "SA SFT" if and only if it has at most one end. This paper has two distinct parts: the first is a conversation explaining what an SA SFT is and how…

Using the notion of extension of Kac-Moody algebras for higher dimensional compact manifolds recently introduced in [1], we show that for the two-torus $\mathbb S^1 \times \mathbb S^1$ and the two-sphere $\mathbb S^2$, these extensions, as…

We introduce an affinization of the quantum Kac-Moody algebra associated to a symmetric generalized Cartan matrix. Based on the affinization, we construct a representation of the quantum Kac-Moody algebra by vertex operators from bosonic…

The analog of the principal SO(3) subalgebra of a finite dimensional simple Lie algebra can be defined for any hyperbolic Kac Moody algebra g(A) associated with a symmetrizable Cartan matrix A, and coincides with the non-compact group…

Let $\mathbb{K}$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero and $\mathbb{K}[x,y]$ the polynomial ring. The group $\text{SL}_{2}\left(\mathbb{K}[x,y]\right)$ of all matrices with determinant equal to $1$ over $\mathbb{K}[x,y]$…

In this paper we study rank two symmetric hyperbolic Kac-Moody algebras H(a) and their automorphic correction in terms of Hilbert modular forms. We associate a family of H(a)'s to the quadratic field Q(p) for each odd prime p and show that…

Let G be a locally compact group. We describe elements of KK^G (A,B) by equivariant homomorphisms, following Cuntz's treatment in the non-equivariant case. This yields another proof for the universal property of KK^G: It is the universal…

In 2019, D. Muthiah proposed a strategy to define affine Kazhdan-Lusztig $R$-polynomials for Kac-Moody groups. Since then, Bardy-Panse, the first author and Rousseau have introduced the formalism of twin masures and the authors have…

We provide a universal characterization of the construction taking a scheme $X$ to its stable $\infty$-category $\text{Mot}(X)$ of noncommutative motives, patterned after the universal characterization of algebraic K-theory due to…
