An important conjecture in additive combinatorics, number theory, and algebraic geometry posits that the partition rank and analytic rank of tensors are equal up to a constant, over any finite field. We prove the conjecture up to a…

Let R be a discrete unital ring, and let M be an R-bimodule. We extend Waldhausen's equivalence from the suspension of the Nil K-theory of R with coefficients in M to the K theory of the tensor algebra T_R(M), and get a map from the…

For an associative ring $R$ with identity, we study the absence of $k$-torsion in NK_1GQ(R); Bass nil-groups for the general quadratic or Bak's unitary groups. By using a graded version of Quillen--Suslin theory we deduce an analog for the…

We develop a family of simple rank one theories built over quite arbitrary sequences of finite hypergraphs. (This extends an idea from the recent proof that Keisler's order has continuum many classes, however, the construction does not…

In this paper we study a filtered "K-theoretical" analog of a graded algebra associated to any loopless graph G which was introduced in \cite{PS}. We show that two such filtered algebras are isomorphic if and only if their graphs are…

We disprove a conjecture of Frank stating that each weakly 2k-connected has a k-vertex-connected orientation. For k at least 3, we also prove that the problem of deciding whether a graph has a k-vertex-connected orientation is NP-complete.

A conjecture of Voisin states that two points on a smooth projective complex variety whose algebra of holomorphic forms is generated in degree 2 are rationally equivalent to each other if and only if their difference lies in the third step…

Let $M$ be a closed manifold and $\alpha : \pi_1(M)\to U_n$ a representation. We give a purely $K$-theoretic description of the associated element $[\alpha]$ in the $K$-theory of $M$ with $\R/\Z$-coefficients. To that end, it is convenient…

We relate the Davis-L\"uck homology with coefficients in Weibel's homotopy K-theory to the equivariant algebraic kk-theory using homotopy theory and adjointness theorems. We express the left hand side of the assembly map for the…

Let Q be an affine quiver and let $\mathfrak{n}$ be the positive part of the affine Lie algebra associated to Q. We provide a construction of $\mathfrak{n}$ using the semistable irreducible components in the Lusztig nilpotent variety…

We show that for various natural classes of groups and appropriately defined K- and L-theoretic functors, injectivity or bijectivity of the assembly map follows from the Isomorphism Conjecture being true for acyclic groups lying within that…

We first prove that the Whitehead group of a torsion-free virtually solvable linear group vanishes. Next we make a reduction of the fibered isomorphism conjecture from virtually solvable groups to a class of virtually solvable Q-linear…

We find a strong separation between two natural families of simple rank one theories in Keisler's order: the theories $T_\mathfrak{m}$ reflecting graph sequences, which witness that Keisler's order has the maximum number of classes, and the…

It is shown that the pairing of the K00 group of a C*-algebra with the densely defined traces of the algebra can be extended to a pairing with the densely defined weights. For traces the pairing can be extended to the K0 group without the…

Let G denote a split simply connected almost simple p-adic group. The classical example is the special linear group SL(n). We study the K-theory of the unramified unitary principal series of G and prove that the rank of K_0 is the…

In this paper we define the notion of local rank for fusion systems so as to reformulate the Alperin's weight conjecture in the framework of block fusion systems following the work by Kn\"orr and Robinson.

We investigate the $m$-relative entropy, which stems from the Bregman divergence, on weighted Riemannian and Finsler manifolds. We prove that the displacement $K$-convexity of the $m$-relative entropy is equivalent to the combination of the…

We use recent results proved by Berrick and the author (math.KT/0509404) to improve the periodicity theorem in hermitian K-theory. We define also a new filtration of the classical Witt ring W(A), built from non degenerate quadratic forms…

We show that in the category of complex algebraic varieties, the Eilenberg--Moore spectral sequence can be endowed with a weight filtration. This implies that it degenerates if all involved spaces have pure cohomology. As application, we…

We prove the Farrell-Jones Isomorphism Conjecture about the algebraic K-theory of a group ring RG in the case where the group G is the fundamental group of a closed Riemannian manifold with strictly negative sectional curvature. The…
