We provide a framework for abstract reconstruction problems using the $K$-theory of categories with covering families, which we then apply to reformulate the edge reconstruction conjecture in graph theory. Along the way, we state some…

Let $X/K$ be a variety over a field, and $A/K$ an abelian variety. A regular homomorphism to $A$ (in codimension $i$) induces, for every smooth geometrically connected pointed $K$-scheme $(T,t_0)$ and every cycle class $Z \in CH^i(T\times…

Using Poincare duality, we formulate a formula of Lefschetz type which computes the Lefschetz number of an endomorphism of a separable, nuclear C*-algebra satisfying Poincare duality and the Kunneth theorem. (The Lefschetz number of an…

Suppose K is a field of characteristic 0, $K_a$ is its algebraic closure, p is an odd prime. Suppose, $f(x) \in K[x]$ is a polynomial of degree $n \ge 5$ without multiple roots. Let us consider a curve $C: y^p=f(x)$ and its jacobian J(C).…

Mickelsson's invariant is an invariant of certain odd twisted K-classes of compact oriented three dimensional manifolds. We reformulate the invariant as a natural homomorphism taking values in a quotient of the third cohomology, and provide…

This is an expository paper which gives a quick introduction to Dwork's conjecture about p-adic meromorphic continuation of his unit root zeta function arising from algebraic geometry. Special emphasis is given to the case of elliptic…

It is well-known that the Artin-Mazur dynamical zeta function of a hyperbolic or quasi-hyperbolic toral automorphism is a rational function, which can be calculated in terms of the eigenvalues of the corresponding integer matrix. We give an…

Let $K$ be the Cantor set. We prove that arbitrarily close to a homeomorphism $T:K\rightarrow K$ there exists a homeomorphism $\widetilde T:K\rightarrow K$ such that the $\alpha$-limit and the $\omega$-limit of every orbit is a periodic…

We use controlled topology applied to the action of the infinite dihedral group on a partially compactified plane and deduce two consequences for algebraic K-theory. The first is that the family in the K-theoretic Farrell-Jones conjecture…

In this article, we introduce a systematic new method to investigate the conjectural p-adic meromorphic continuation of Professor Bernard Dwork's unit root zeta function attached to an ordinary family of algebraic varieties defined over a…

We prove that the relative K-groups associated with a nilpotent extension of Z/p^N Z-algebras and the bi-relative K-groups associated with a Milnor square of Z/p^N Z-algebras are p-primary torsion groups of bounded exponent. We also show…

We define N-theory being some analogue of K-theory on the category of von Neumann algebras such that $K_0(A)\subset N_0(A)$ for any von Neumann algebra A. Moreover, it turns out to be possible to construct the extension of the Chern…

We define united K-theory for real C*-algebras, generalizing Bousfield's topological united K-theory. United K-theory incorporates three functors -- real K-theory, complex K-theory, and self-conjugate K-theory -- and the natural…

This paper is a following to math.RT/0410454. For a finite group of Lie type we study the endomorphisms, commuting with the group action, of a Deligne-Lusztig variety associated to a regular element of the Weyl group. We state some general…

We consider families of degenerating hyperbolic surfaces. The surfaces are geometrically finite of fixed topological type. Let Z(s) be the Selberg Zeta function of a surface, and let Z_d(s) be the contribution of the pinched geodesics to…

We refine the invariant on $K_2(A[C_{p_e}]/I_m,(T-1))$ constructed in a previous paper to one which is an isomorphism for all $\lambda$-rings $A$.

We give a dynamical description, in terms of a Weil-type zeta function, to the holomorphic torsion with coefficients for certain compact Hermitian locally symmetric manifolds, whose connected group G of isometries of the universal cover has…

We study the \'etale sheafification of algebraic K-theory, called \'etale K-theory. Our main results show that \'etale K-theory is very close to a noncommutative invariant called Selmer K-theory, which is defined at the level of categories.…

We study dynamics of the Latt\`es maps in the complex plane in terms of the Cuntz-Krieger algebras associated to the endomorphisms of the non-commutative tori. In particular, it is shown that iterations of the Latt\`es maps can be reduced…

In the two parts of this paper we solve a problem of De Rham, proving that Reidemeister torsion invariants determine topological equivalence of linear G-representations, for G a finite cyclic group. Methods in controlled K-theory and…
