We study the behaviour of conductors of L-functions associated to certain Weil--Deligne representations under twisting. For each global field K we prove a sharp upper bound for the conductor of the Rankin--Selberg L-function associated to a…

Here we construct spaces of coinvariants for Heisenberg vertex algebras on abelian varieties and show that these globalize to twisted $\mathscr{D}$-modules on the moduli space of abelian varieties. Remarkably, we recover the standard…

Given an $L^2$-acyclic connected finite $CW$-complex, we define its universal $L^2$-torsion in terms of the chain complex of its universal covering. It takes values in the weak Whitehead group $\operatorname{Wh}^w(G)$. We study its main…

Using a global version of the equivariant Chern character, we describe the complexified twisted equivariant K-theory of a space with a compact Lie group action in terms of fixed-point data. We apply this to the case of a compact Lie group…

In this paper we introduce and study the degree of twisted commutativity and the twisted conjugacy ratio of a finitely generated group $G$. The degree of twisted commutativity $\mathrm{tdc}_X(\varphi, G)$ generalises the degree of…

We prove that on the cyclic groups of odd order d, there exist non zero functions whose convolution square f*f(2t) is proportional to their square f(t)^2 when the proportionality constant is given by an imaginary quadratic integer of norm d…

In this note, (rational) Betti numbers of homotopy colimits for toric diagrams and their classifying spaces are described in terms of sheaf cohomology over CW posets. We prove for any $T$-diagram $D$ over any CW poset that…

We generalize certain parts of the theory of group rings to the twisted case. Let G be a finite group acting (possibly trivially) on a field L of characteristic coprime to the order of the kernel of this operation. Let K in L be the fixed…

This article presents a method for proving upper bounds for the first $\ell^2$-Betti number of groups using only the geometry of the Cayley graph. As an application we prove that Burnside groups of large prime exponent have vanishing first…

In this article, we explore the problem of determining isomorphisms between the twisted complex group algebras of finite $p$-groups. This problem bears similarity to the classical group algebra isomorphism problem and has been recently…

Denote by Q(sqrt{-m}), with m a square-free positive integer, an imaginary quadratic number field, and by A its ring of integers. The Bianchi groups are the groups SL_2(A). We reveal a correspondence between the homological torsion of the…

We extend the classical result asserting that the twisting operator preserves certain Deligne--Lusztig character values for truncated formal power series; along the way we discuss some properties of centralisers. This leads us to the…

We show how to recover a discrete twist over an ample Hausdorff groupoid from a pair consisting of an algebra and what we call a quasi-Cartan subalgebra. We identify precisely which twists arise in this way (namely, those that satisfy the…

We give a characterization of symplectic quadratic Lie algebras that their Lie algebra of inner derivations has an invertible derivation. A family of symplectic quadratic Lie algebras is introduced to illustrate this situation. Finally, we…

In an attempt to understand the origin of post groups introduced by C. Bai, L. Guo, Y. Sheng, R. Tang, from the perspective of rings, we introduce the notion of (weak) twisted post groups. First, we show that every element in a twisted post…

Let $G$ be a group with a finite subgroup $H$. We define the $L^2$-multiplicity of an irreducible representation of $H$ in the $L^2$-homology of a proper $G$-CW-complex. These invariants generalize the $L^2$-Betti numbers. Our main results…
