The paper establishes, for a wide class of locally compact groupoids $\Gamma$, the E-theoretic descent functor at the $C^{*}$-algebra level, in a way parallel to that established for locally compact groups by Guentner, Higson and Trout. The…

The paper introduces a general strategy for identifying strong local minimizers of variational functionals. It is based on the idea that any variation of the integral functional can be evaluated directly in terms of the appropriate…

Given a discrete subgroup $\Gamma$ of finite co-volume of $\mathrm{PGL}(2,\mathbb{R})$, we define and study parabolic vector bundles on the quotient $\Sigma$ of the (extended) hyperbolic plane by $\Gamma$. If $\Gamma$ contains an…

We study Lispchitz solutions of partial differential relations $\nabla u\in K$, where $u$ is a vector-valued function in an open subset of $R^n$. In some cases the set of solutions turns out to be surprisingly large. The general theory is…

We analyse the structure of the quotient $\mathrm{A}_\sim(\Gamma,X,\mu)$ of the space of measure-preserving actions of a countable discrete group by the relation of weak equivalence. This space carries a natural operation of convex…

$\Gamma$-convergence techniques are used to give a characterization of the behavior of a family of heterogeneous multiple scale integral functionals. Periodicity, standard growth conditions and nonconvexity are assumed whereas a stronger…

Let $\mathbf{G}$ be a unipotent group scheme defined in terms of a nilpotent Lie lattice over the ring $\mathcal{O}$ of integers of a number field. We consider bivariate zeta functions of groups of the form $\mathbf{G}(\mathcal{O})$…

We summarize recent results initiating spectral analysis on pseudo-Riemannian locally symmetric spaces $\Gamma \backslash G/H$, beyond the classical setting where $H$ is compact (e.g. theory of automorphic forms for arithmetic $\Gamma$) or…

This paper deals with extensions of vector-valued functions on finite graphs fulfilling distinguished minimality properties. We show that so-called lex and L-lex minimal extensions are actually the same and call them minimal Lipschitz…
