In this partly expository paper we compare three different categories of C*-algebras in which crossed-product duality can be formulated, both for actions and for coactions of locally compact groups. In these categories, the isomorphisms…

We show that there are two distinct classes of D6R4 type supersymmetry invariants in maximal supergravity. The second class includes a coupling in F2D4R4 that generalises to 1/8 BPS protected F2kD4R4 couplings. We work out the supersymmetry…

For any Lie groupoid we construct an analytic index morphism taking values in a modified $K-theory$ group which involves the convolution algebra of compactly supported smooth functions over the groupoid. The construction is performed by…

Can one detect free products of groups via their profinite completions? We answer positively among virtually free groups. More precisely, we prove that a subgroup of a finitely generated virtually free group $G$ is a free factor if and only…

We show that any $O_d(\epsilon^{-4d 7^d})$-independent family of Gaussians $\epsilon$-fools any degree-$d$ polynomial threshold function.

The equivariant bootstrap class in the Kasparov category of actions of a finite group G consists of those actions that are equivalent to one on a Type I C*-algebra. Using a result by Arano and Kubota, we show that this bootstrap class is…

The most general covariant action describing gravity coupled to a scalar field with only second order equations of motion, Horndeski's theory (also known as "Generalized Galileons"), provides an all-encompassing model in which single scalar…

For a class $F$ of complex-valued functions on a set $D$, we denote by $g_n(F)$ its sampling numbers, i.e., the minimal worst-case error on $F$, measured in $L_2$, that can be achieved with a recovery algorithm based on $n$ function…

We introduce an infinite group action on partition functions of WK type, meaning of the type of the partition function $Z^{\rm WK}$ in the famous result of Witten and Kontsevich expressing the partition function of $\psi$-class integrals on…

Let $K$ be the function field of a curve $C$ over a $p$-adic field $k$. We prove that, for each $n, d \geq 1$ and for each hypersurface $Z$ in $\mathbb{P}^n_{K}$ of degree $d$ with $d^2 \leq n$, the second Milnor $K$-theory group of $K$ is…

In this paper we use the description of free group factors as the von Neumann algebras of Berezin's deformation of the upper half-plane, modulo PSL$(2,{\Bbb Z})$. The derivative, in the deformation parameter, of the product in the…

A natural higher K-theoretic analogue of the triviality of vector bundles on affine toric varieties is the conjecture on nilpotence of the multiplicative action of the natural numbers on the K-theory of these varieties. This includes both…

We consider actions of Z^k, k \ge 2, by Anosov diffeomorphisms which are uniformly quasiconformal on each coarse Lyapunov distribution. These actions generalize Cartan actions for which coarse Lyapunov distributions are one-dimensional. We…

An analogue of Krein's extension theorem is proved for operator-valued positive definite functions on free groups. The proof gives also the parametrization of all extensions by means of a generalized type of Szego parameters. One singles…

Using the theory of resolving classes, we show that if $X$ is a CW complex of finite type such that $\map_*(X, S^{2n+1})\sim *$ for all sufficiently large $n$, then $\map_*(X, K) \sim *$ for every simply-connected finite-dimensional CW…

Higson proved that every homotopy invariant, stable and split exact functor from the category of $C^*$-algebras to an additive category factors through Kasparov's $KK$-theory. By adapting a group equivariant generalization of this result by…

We study the Donaldson-Witten function in four-dimensional topological gauge theory which is constructed from N=2 supersymmetric SU(2) gauge theory with $N_f < 4$ massless fundamental hypermultiplets. When $N_f = 2,3$, the strong-coupling…

Motivated by an inclination for symmetry and possible extension of the General Theory of Relativity within the framework of Scalar Theory, we investigate the Bekenstein's disformal transformation of the Einstein-Hilbert action. Owing to the…

We describe Universal Coefficient Theorems for the equivariant Kasparov theory for C*-algebras with an action of the group of integers or over a unique path space, using KK-valued invariants. We compare the resulting classification up to…

We show that every infinite, locally finite, and connected graph admitsa translation-like action by $\mathbb{Z}$, and that this action can be takento be transitive exactly when the graph has either one or two ends.The actions constructed…
