Given a maximal rigid object $T$ of the cluster tube, we determine the objects finitely presented by $T$. We then use the method of Keller and Reiten to show that the endomorphism algebra of $T$ is Gorenstein and of finite representation…

In his work studying the Zeta functions of families of hypersurfaces, Dwork came upon a one-parameter family of hypersurfaces (now known as \emph{the} Dwork family). These examples were not only useful to Dwork in his study of his…

For a knot $K$ with $\Delta_K(t)\doteq t^2-3t+1$ in a homology $3$-sphere, let $M$ be the result of $2/q$-surgery on $K$. We show that appropriate assumptions on the Reidemeister torsion and the Casson-Walker-Lescop invariant of the…

Let $X$ be a prehomogeneous vector space under a connected reductive group $G$ over $\mathbb{R}$. Assume that the open $G$-orbit $X^+$ admits a finite covering by a symmetric space. We study certain zeta integrals involving (i) Schwartz…

We introduce a bivariant version of the Cuntz semigroup as equivalence classes of order zero maps generalizing the ordinary Cuntz semigroup. The theory has many properties formally analogous to KK-theory including a composition product. We…

We classify the endomorphism algebras of factors of the Jacobian of certain hypergeometric curves over a field of characteristic zero. Other than a few exceptional cases, the endomorphism algebras turn out to be either a cyclotomic field…

The Lefschetz fixed point theorem and its converse have many generalizations. One of these generalizations is to endomorphisms of a space relative to a fixed subspace. In this paper we define relative Lefschetz numbers and Reidemeister…

In this paper we define the Reidemeister torsion as a rational function on the geometric components of the character variety of a one-cusped hyperbolic manifold M. We study its poles and zeros, and we deduce sufficient conditions on the…

Let $F$ be a finite field of order $q$ and characteristic $p$. Let $\mathbb{Z}_F=F[t]$, $\mathbb{Q}_F=F(t)$, $\mathbb{R}_F=F((1/t))$ equipped with the discrete valuation for which $1/t$ is a uniformizer, and let…

We study the K-theory of ring C*-algebras associated to rings of integers in global function fields with only one single infinite place. First, we compute the torsion-free part of the K-groups of these ring C*-algebras. Secondly, we show…

To any pullback square of ring spectra we associate a new ring spectrum and use it to describe the failure of excision in algebraic $K$-theory. The construction of this new ring spectrum is categorical and hence allows to determine the…

The extended Riemann hypothesis (ERH) for Dedekind zeta functions remains one of the most elusive open problems in number theory. Over the last century, many equivalent statements to the classical Riemann hypothesis alone have been…

Given a circle-valued Morse function of a closed oriented manifold, we prove that Reidemeister torsion over a non-commutative formal Laurent polynomial ring equals the product of a certain non-commutative Lefschetz-type zeta function and…

Let $\sigma$ denote an endomorphism of a smooth algebraic group $G$ over the algebraic closure of a finite field, and assume all iterates of $\sigma$ have finitely many fixed points. Steinberg gave a formula for the number of fixed points…

For a 3-manifold $M$ and an acyclic $\mathit{SL}(2,\mathbb{C})$-representation $\rho$ of its fundamental group, the $\mathit{SL}(2,\mathbb{C})$-Reidemeister torsion $\tau_\rho(M) \in \mathbb{C}^\times$ is defined. If there are only finitely…

The complex orthogonal and symplectic groups both act on the complete flag variety with finitely many orbits. We study two families of polynomials introduced by Wyser and Yong representing the $K$-theory classes of the closures of these…

For cofinite Kleinian groups, with finite-dimensional unitary representations, we derive the Selberg trace formula. As an application we define the corresponding Selberg zeta-function and compute its divisor, thus generalizing results of…

Aiming for a revival of the theory of crystallographic complex reflection groups, we compute (minimal) Coxeter-like reflection presentations for the infinite families of those non-genuine groups which satisfy Steinberg's fixed point…

We generalise the Kreck-Stolz invariants s_2 and s_3 by defining a new invariant, the t-invariant, for quaternionic line bundles E over closed spin-manifolds M of dimension 4k-1 with H^3(M; \Q) = 0 such that c_2(E)\in H^4(M) is torsion. The…

Given a henselian pair $(R, I)$ of commutative rings, we show that the relative $K$-theory and relative topological cyclic homology with finite coefficients are identified via the cyclotomic trace $K \to \mathrm{TC}$. This yields a…
