We establish a connection between Cohen-Lyndon triples and equivariant homology theory, with a focus on the Baum-Connes conjecture. In the first part of this work, we establish an excision sequence for the classifying spaces for proper…

We prove the existence and the uniqueness of a conformally equivariant symbol calculus and quantization on any conformally flat pseudo-Riemannian manifold $(M,\rg)$. In other words, we establish a canonical isomorphism between the spaces of…

Replaces Previous version. Includes comments on poincare duality for twisted equivariant in the context of proper and discrete actions and the Baum-Connes Conjecture. We use a spectral sequence proposed by C. Dwyer and previous work by…

This paper concerns the non-commutative analog of the Normal Subgroup Theorem for certain groups. Inspired by Kalantar-Panagopoulos, we show that all $\Gamma$-invariant subalgebras of $L\Gamma$ and $C^*_r(\Gamma)$ are ($\Gamma$-)…

We analyze the dichotomy amenable/paradoxical in the context of (discrete, countable, unital) semigroups and corresponding semigroup rings. We consider also F{\o}lner's type characterizations of amenability and give an example of a…

Fix a scheme $X$ over a field of characteristic zero that is equipped with an action of a reductive algebraic group $G$. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for a $G$-equivariant coherent sheaf on $X$ or a bounded-above complex of…

Generalizing a construction of Wolfgang L\"uck and Bob Oliver, we define a good equivariant cohomology theory on the category of proper G-CW complexes when G is an arbitrary Lie group (possibly non-compact). This is done by constructing an…

Let $X$ denote an equivariant embedding of a connected reductive group $G$ over an algebraically closed field $k$. Let $B$ denote a Borel subgroup of $G$ and let $Z$ denote a $B \times B$-orbit closure in $X$. When the characteristic of $k$…

For a closed cocompact subgroup $\Gamma$ of a locally compact group $G$, given a compact abelian subgroup $K$ of $G$ and a homomorphism $\rho:\hat{K}\to G$ satisfying certain conditions, Landstad and Raeburn constructed equivariant…

We introduce and study equivariant Seiberg-Witten invariants for $4$-manifolds equipped with a smooth action of a finite group $G$. Our invariants come in two types: cohomological, valued in the group cohomology of $G$ and $K$-theoretic,…

We prove that each coarsely homogenous separable metric space $X$ is coarsely equivalent to one of the spaces: the sigleton, the Cantor macro-cube or the Baire macro-space. This classification is derived from coarse characterizations of the…

In this paper we study a natural decomposition of $G$-equivariant $K$-theory of a proper $G$-space, when $G$ is a Lie group with a compact normal subgroup $A$ acting trivially. Our decomposition could be understood as a generalization of…

Let $1 \to N \to G \to G/N \to 1$ be a short exact sequence of countable discrete groups and let $B$ be any $G$-$C^*$-algebra. In this paper, we show that the strong Novikov conjecture with coefficients in $B$ holds for such a group $G$…

Relatively recently it was proved that if $\Gamma$ is an arbitrary set, then any equivalent norm on $c_0(\Gamma)$ can be approximated uniformly on bounded sets by polyhedral norms and $C^\infty$ smooth norms, with arbitrary precision. We…

Let $\Gamma$ be a countable group. A classical theorem of Thorisson states that if $X$ is a standard Borel $\Gamma$-space and $\mu$ and $\nu$ are Borel probability measures on $X$ which agree on every $\Gamma$-invariant subset, then $\mu$…

Equivariant $\Gamma$-spaces model equivariant infinite loop spaces. In this article, we show that there exists a connective Quillen equivalence between the category of equivariant $\Gamma$-spaces and the category of orthogonal spectra.

If $X$ is a locally compact space which admits commuting free and proper actions of locally compact groups $G$ and $H$, then the Brauer groups $\Br_H(G/X)$ and $\Br_G(X/H)$ are naturally isomorphic.

In this paper we introduce a common framework for describing the topological part of the Baum-Connes conjecture for a wide class of groups. We compute the Bredon homology for groups with aspherical presentation, one-relator quotients of…

Let $M$ be a closed spin manifold which supports a positive scalar curvature metric. The set of concordance classes of positive scalar curvature metrics on $M$ forms an abelian group $P(M)$ after fixing a positive scalar curvature metric.…

We introduce a notion of equivariant coarse cohomology of the complement of a subspace in a metric space. We use this cohomology to define a notion of coarse cohomology of the configuration space of a metric space and develop tools to…
