We prove the Hecke orbit conjecture of Chai--Oort for Shimura varieties of Hodge type at odd primes of good reduction. We use a novel result for the local monodromy groups of $F$-isocrystals "coming from geometry", which refines Crew's…

This is a survey on Kasparov's bivariant $KK$-theory in connection with the Baum-Connes conjecture on the $K$-theory of crossed products $A\rtimes_rG$ by actions of a locally compact group $G$ on a C*-algebra $A$. In particular we shall…

We establish a connection between Cohen-Lyndon triples and equivariant homology theory, with a focus on the Baum-Connes conjecture. In the first part of this work, we establish an excision sequence for the classifying spaces for proper…

We compute the equivariant $K$-homology of the classifying space for proper actions, for compact 3-dimensional hyperbolic reflection groups. This coincides with the topological $K$-theory of the reduced $C^\ast$-algebra associated to the…

In this paper, we prove some convexity results associated to orbit projection of non-compact real reductive Lie groups.

We construct a strongly bolic metric for a certain class of relatively hyperbolic groups, which includes those with CAT(0) parabolics and virtually abelian parabolics. If we further assume that the parabolics satisfy (RD), applying a…

In this paper we introduce a common framework for describing the topological part of the Baum-Connes conjecture for a wide class of groups. We compute the Bredon homology for groups with aspherical presentation, one-relator quotients of…

This paper is about nilpotent orbits of reductive groups over local non-Archimedean fields. In this paper we will try to identify for which groups there are only finitely many nilpotent orbits, for which groups the nilpotent orbits are…

Let $G$ be a locally compact group with cocompact connected component. We prove that the assembly map from the topological $\k$-theory of $G$ to the $\k$-theory of the reduced $C^*$-algebra of $G$ is an isomorphism.

In this article we formulate a version of the analytic Novikov conjecture for semigroups rather than groups, and show that the descent argument from coarse geometry generalises effectively to this new situation.

Let $\Pi$ be the fundamental group of a smooth variety X over $F_p$. Given a non-Archimedean place $\lambda$ of the field of algebraic numbers which is prime to p, consider the $\lambda$-adic pro-semisimple completion of $\Pi$ as an object…

Alain Connes and Nigel Higson pointed out in the 1990s that the Connes-Kasparov "conjecture"' for the K-theory of reduced groupe $C^\ast$-algebras seemed, in the case of reductive Lie groups, to be a cohomological echo of a conjecture of…

We prove an effective equidistribution result for periodic orbits of semisimple groups on congruence quotients of an ambient semisimple group. This extends previous work of Einsiedler, Margulis and Venkatesh. The main new feature is that we…

This paper proves that the nearby cycles complexes on a certain family of PEL local models are central with respect to the convolution product of sheaves on the corresponding affine flag varieties. As a corollary, the semisimple trace…

Let $K$ be the function field of a $p$-adic curve, $G$ a semisimple simply connected group over $K$ and $X$ a $G$-torsor over $K$. A conjecture of Colliot-Th\'el\`ene, Parimala and Suresh predicts that if for every discrete valuation $v$ of…

The equivariant coarse index is well-understood and widely used for actions by discrete groups. We extend the definition of this index to general locally compact groups. We use a suitable notion of admissible modules over $C^*$-algebras of…

We construct, for any symplectic, unitary or special orthogonal group over a locally compact nonarchimedean local field of odd residual characteristic, a type for each Bernstein component of the category of smooth representations, using…

We prove quantitative versions of Borel and Harish-Chandra's theorems on reduction theory for arithmetic groups. Firstly, we obtain polynomial bounds on the lengths of reduced integral vectors in any rational representation of a reductive…

The goal of this article is to provide a bridge between the gamma element method for the Baum--Connes conjecture (the Dirac dual-Dirac method) and the controlled algebraic approach of Roe and Yu (localization algebras). For any second…
