Let G be a simply connected compact Lie group and T its maximal torus. We compute the graded ring gr_{gamma}(G/T) associated with the gamma filtration of the complex K-theory K(G/T). We use the Chow ring of the corresponding versal flag…

Consider the canonical morphism from the Chow ring of a smooth variety $X$ to the associated graded ring of the topological filtration on the Grothendieck ring of $X$. In general, this morphism is not injective. However, Nikita Karpenko…

Let Gamma be a semidirect product of the form Z^n rtimes Z/p where p is prime and the Z/p-action on Z^n is free away from the origin. We will compute the topological K-theory of the real and complex group C*-algebra of Gamma and show that…

Let $G$ be a finite group. The ring $R_\mathbb{K}(G)$ of virtual characters of $G$ over the field $\mathbb{K}$ is a $\lambda$-ring; as such, it is equipped with the so-called $\Gamma$-filtration, first defined by Grothendieck. We explore…

We adapt Quillen's calculation of graded K-groups of Z-graded rings with support in N to graded K-theory, allowing gradings in a product Z \times G with G an arbitrary group. This in turn allows us to use inductions and calculate graded…

In this paper, we compute Tian's $\alpha_{m,k}^{K\times K}$-invariant on a polarized $G$-group compactification, where $K$ denotes a maximal compact subgroup of a connected complex reductive group $G$. We prove that Tian's conjecture (see…

The symmetries described by Pin groups are the result of combining a finite number of discrete reflections in (hyper)planes. The current work shows how an analysis using geometric algebra provides a picture complementary to that of the…

We generalize certain parts of the theory of group rings to the twisted case. Let G be a finite group acting (possibly trivially) on a field L of characteristic coprime to the order of the kernel of this operation. Let K in L be the fixed…

Let F be a field, let G be its absolute Galois group, and let R(G, k) be the representation ring of G over a suitable field k. In this preprint we construct a ring homomorphism from the mod 2 Milnor K-theory k_*(F) to the graded ring gr…

In the present notes we introduce and study the twisted gamma-filtration on K_0(G), where G is a split simple linear algebraic group over a field of characteristic prime to the order of the center of G. We apply this filtration to construct…

The K-ring of symmetric vector bundles over a scheme X, the so-called Grothendieck-Witt ring of X, can be endowed with the structure of a (special) $\lambda$-ring. The associated $\gamma$-filtration generalizes the fundamental filtration on…

Let G be a compact connected Lie group and p : E \to {\Sigma}^2V a principal G-bundle with a characteristic map \alpha : A={\Sigma}V \to G. By combining cone decomposition arguments in Iwase-Mimura-Nishimoto [3,5] with computations of…

The aim of this paper is to introduce and study graded and filtered gamma rings and gamma modules. We prove that the filtered $\Gamma$-ring (module) is a generalization of the notion of graded ring (module). Also, we construct a graded…
