Let $p$ be a prime and let $K$ be a finite extension of $\mathbb{Q}_p$. Let $E/K$ be an elliptic curve with additive reduction. In this paper, we study the topological group structure of the set of points of good reduction of $E(K)$. In…

The Baum-Connes conjecture predicts that a certain assembly map is an isomorphism. We identify the homotopy theoretical construction of the assembly map by Davis and L\"uck with the category theoretical construction by Meyer and Nest. This…

It is shown that for each separable Banach space $X$ not admitting $\ell_1$ as a spreading model there is a space $Y$ having $X$ as a quotient and not admitting any $\ell_p$ for $1 \leq p < \infty$ or $c_0$ as a spreading model. We also…

We prove a conjecture of Roe by constructing unified warped cones that violate the coarse Baum-Connes conjecture. Interestingly, the reason for this is probably not what Roe expected, as the obstruction arises in odd rather than even…

We show that random Cayley graphs of finite simple (or semisimple) groups of Lie type of fixed rank are expanders. The proofs are based on the Bourgain-Gamburd method and on the main result of our companion paper, establishing strongly…

We redefine the Baum-Connes assembly map using simplicial approximation in the equivariant Kasparov category. This new interpretation is ideal for studying functorial properties and gives analogues of the assembly maps for all equivariant…

We apply quantitative (or controlled) $K$-theory to prove that a certain $L^p$ assembly map is an isomorphism for $p\in[1,\infty)$ when an action of a countable discrete group $\Gamma$ on a compact Hausdorff space $X$ has finite dynamical…

Let $1<p,\,q<\infty$. It is shown for complex scalars that there are no nontrivial $M$-ideals in $L(L_p[0,1])$ if $p\neq 2$, and $K(\ell_p(\ell_q^n)$ is the only nontrivial $M$-ideal in $L(\ell_p(\ell_q^n)$. This proves a conjecture of…

Given an ergodic measure with positive entropy and only positive Lyapunov exponents, its dynamical quantifiers can be approximated by means of quantifiers of some family of uniformly expanding repellers. Here non-uniformly expanding maps…

Brehm's extension theorem states that a non-expansive map on a finite subset of a Euclidean space can be extended to a piecewise-linear map on the entire space. In this note, it is verified that the proof of the theorem is constructive…

In this note we correct two oversights in [Mapping cones in the bounded derived category of a gentle algebra, J. Algebra 530 (2019), 163--194, also arXiv:1609.09688] which only occur when a band complex is involved. As a consequence we see…

Let $E/\mathbb{Q}$ be an elliptic curve, $p$ a prime and $K_{\infty}/K$ the anticyclotomic $\mathbb{Z}_p$-extension of a quadratic imaginary field $K$ satisfying the Heegner hypothesis. In this paper we give a new proof to a theorem of…

We show that if $p>1$ every subspace of $\ell_p(\Gamma)$ is an $\ell_p$-sum of separable subspaces of $\ell_p$, and we provide examples of subspaces of $\ell_p(\Gamma)$ for $0<p\leq 1$ that are not even isomorphic to any $\ell_p$-sum of…

For an extension $1\rightarrow N \rightarrow \Gamma \xrightarrow{q} \Gamma / N \rightarrow 1$ of discrete countable groups, it is known that the Baum-Connes conjecture with coefficients holds for $\Gamma$ if it holds for $\Gamma / N$ and…

We prove that the Bost Conjecture on the $\ell^1$-assembly map for countable discrete groups implies the Bass Conjecture. It follows that all amenable groups satisfy the Bass Conjecture.

We prove a Berry-Esseen theorem, a local central limit theorem and (local) large and (global) moderate deviations principles for i.i.d. (uniformly) random non-uniformly expanding or hyperbolic maps with exponential first return times. Using…

In this paper, the second of a series of two, we continue the study of higher index theory for expanders. We prove that if a sequence of graphs has girth tending to infinity, then the maximal coarse Baum-Connes assembly map is an…

We consider $\ell_p$-direct sums ($1\leq p<\infty$) and $c_0$-direct sums of countably many normed spaces and find the duals of these spaces. We characterize the support functionals of arbitrary elements in these spaces to characterize…

We associate a non-commutative $C^*$-algebra with any locally finite simplicial complex. We determine the $K$-theory of these algebras and show that they can be used to obtain a conceptual explanation for the Baum-Connes conjecture.

In this paper, we present counterexamples showing that for any $p\in (1,\infty)$, $p\neq 2$, there is a non-divergence form uniformly elliptic operator with piecewise constant coefficients in $\mathbb{R}^2$ (constant on each quadrant in…
