A class of algebras is constructed using free fermions and the invariant antisymmetric tensors associated with irreducible holonomy groups. (This version contains minor typographical corrections and some additional references. )

We prove a theorem classifying the equivariant $K$-theoretic pushforwards of the product of arbitrary Schur functors applied to the tautological bundle on the moduli space of framed rank $r$ torsion-free sheaves on $\mathbb{P}^2$, and its…

In this paper, we introduce the concept of $k$-integral graphs. A graph $\Gamma$ is called $k$-integral if the extension degree of the splitting field of the characteristic polynomial of $\Gamma$ over rational field $\mathbb Q$ is equal to…

We describe, up to degree equal to the rank, the Lie algebra associated with the automorphism group of a free group. We compute in particular the ranks of its homogeneous components, and their structure as modules over the linear group.…

We derive a lower and an upper bound for the rank of the finite part of operator $K$-theory groups of maximal and reduced $C^*$-algebras of finitely generated groups. The lower bound is based on the amount of polynomially growing conjugacy…

Stallings remarked that an outer automorphism of a free group may be thought of as a subdivision of a graph followed by a sequence of folds. In this thesis, we prove that automorphisms of fundamental groups of graphs of groups satisfying…

We show that doubling at some large scale in a Cayley graph implies uniform doubling at all subsequent scales. The proof is based on the structure theorem for approximate subgroups proved by Green, Tao and the first author. We also give a…

We show that generic automorphisms of stable groups are supertight in a strong sense. In particular, we obtain the existence of supertight automorphisms. We also answer a question concerning the relationship between supertight automorphisms…

We investigate conditions for the extendibility of continuous algebra homomorphisms $\phi$ from the Fourier algebra $A(F)$ of a locally compact group $F$ to the Fourier-Stieltjes algebra $B(G)$ of a locally compact group $G$ to maps between…

Let $G=A \ast B$ be a free product of freely indecomposable groups. We explicitly construct quasimorphisms on $G$ which are invariant with respect to all automorphisms of $G$. We also prove that the space of such quasimorphisms is…

The Kervaire conjecture asserts that adding a generator and then a relator to a nontrivial group always results in a nontrivial group. We introduce new methods from stable commutator length to study this type of problems about nontriviality…

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…

Let $K$ be a field, let $\sigma$ be an automorphism of $K$, and let $\delta$ be a derivation of $K$. We show that if $D$ is one of $K(x;\sigma)$ or $K(x;\delta)$, then $D$ either contains a free algebra over its center on two generators, or…

We show that a large class of satellite operators are rank-expanding; that is, they map some rank-one subgroup of the concordance group onto an infinite linearly independent set. Our work constitutes the first systematic study of this…

First we survey and explain the strategy of some recent results that construct holomorphic $\text{sl}(2, \mathbb C)$-differential systems over some Riemann surfaces $\Sigma_g$ of genus $g\geq 2$, satisfying the condition that the image of…

For finite connected graphs $\Gamma$ and $G$, with $\Gamma$ admitting a free involution $\tau$, we characterize the based homotopy classes $\alpha\in[\Gamma,G]$ for which the Borsuk-Ulam property holds in the sense of Gon\c{c}alves, Guaschi…

Takahasi's theorem on chains of subgroups of bounded rank in a free group is generalized to several classes of semigroups. As an application, it is proved that the subsemigroups of periodic points are finitely generated and periodic orbits…

Consider an extension of groups 1 -> K -> G -> Q -> 1 which enjoys the property that the quotient by the lower central series Gamma_{c+1} produces another extension 1 -> K/ Gamma_{c+1} K -> G /Gamma_{c+1} G -> Q / Gamma_{c+1} Q -> 1, of…

We call a unital locally convex algebra $A$ a continuous inverse algebra if its unit group $A^\times$ is open and inversion is a continuous map. For any smooth action of a, possibly infinite-dimensional, connected Lie group $G$ on a…

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…
