Coarse geometry is the study of large-scale properties of spaces. In this paper we study group coarse structures (i.e., coarse structures on groups that agree with the algebraic structures), by using group ideals. We introduce a large class…

In this expository article, we outline the theory of harmonic differential forms and its consequences. We provide self-contained proofs of the following important results in differential geometry: (1) Hodge theorem, which states that for a…

A map is given showing that convolutions of independent random variables over a finite group and matrix multiplications of doubly stochastic matrices are homomorphic. As an application, a short proof is given to the theorem that the…

We derive the Pimsner-Voiculescu sequence calculating the K-theory of a $C^{*}$- algebra with $\mathbb{Z}$-action using constructions with equivariant coarse K-homology theory. We then investigate to which extend this idea extends to more…

We use a well known problem in discrete and computational geometry (partitions of measures by $k$-fans) as a motivation and as a point of departure to illustrate many aspects, both theoretical and computational, of the problem of…

We construct k-parameter families of rational surface automorphisms for any k. These are automorphisms of surfaces X, which are constructed from iterated blowups over the projective plane. In certain cases: we are able to determine the…

The (co)homology theory of n-ary (co)compositions is a functor associating to $n$-ary (co)composition a complex. We present unified approach to the cohomology theory of coassociative and Lie coalgebras and for $2n$-ary cocompositions. This…

We introduce two new algebraic invariants, the (co)homological distances between continuous maps, which provide computable lower bounds for the homotopic distance and strictly refine the classical cup-length estimates. We then define the…

Building on the work of the fourth author in math.AG/9904074, we prove the weak factorization conjecture for birational maps in characteristic zero: a birational map between complete nonsingular varieties over an algebraically closed field…

We investigate the coarse homology of leaves in foliations of compact manifolds. This is motivated by the observation that the non-leaves constructed by Schweitzer and by Zeghib all have non-finitely generated coarse homology. This led us…

Using ideas from shape theory we embed the coarse category of metric spaces into the category of direct sequences of simplicial complexes with bonding maps being simplicial. Two direct sequences of simplicial complexes are equivalent if one…

While there is a well developed theory of locally solid topologies, many important convergences in vector lattice theory are not topological. Yet they share many properties with locally solid topologies. Building upon the theory of…

We describe for any Riemannian manifold a certain infinitesimal neighbourhood of the diagonal. Semi-conformal maps are analyzed as those that preserve such neighbourhoods; harmonic maps are analyzed as those that preserve mirror image…

We construct the geometric Baum-Connes assembly map for twisted Lie groupoids, that means for Lie groupoids together with a given groupoid equivariant $PU(H)-$principle bundle. The construction is based on the use of geometric deformation…

In this paper we will study $k$-commuting mappings of generalized matrix algebras. The general form of arbitrary $k$-commuting mapping of a generalized matrix algebra is determined. It is shown that under mild assumptions, every…

The construction of topological index maps for equivariant families of Dirac operators requires factoring a general smooth map through maps of a very simple type: zero sections of vector bundles, open embeddings, and vector bundle…

Building on the dictionary between Kleinian groups and rational maps, we establish new connections between the theories of hyperbolic groups and certain iterated maps, regarded as dynamical systems. In order to make the exposition…

A cohomology theory of root systems emerges naturally in the context of Automorphic Lie Algebras, where it helps formulating some structure theory questions. In particular, one can find concrete models for an Automorphic Lie Algebra by…

We show that coarse maps between countable metric spaces of bounded geometry induce natural transformations of sufficiently good endofunctors of C*-algebras and prove that this correspondence is invariant with respect to coarse homotopies.

We extend harmonic map techniques to the setting of more general differential equations in conformal geometry. We obtain an extension of Siu's rigidity to Kahler-Weyl geometry and apply the latter to Vaisman's conjecture. Other applications…
