We show that the $K_0$ groups of Connes' $\Theta$-deformed $m$-planes and their smooth versions are all $\mathbb{Z}$.
A noncommutative solenoid is the C*-algebra $C^\ast(\Q_N^2,\sigma)$ where $\Q_N$ is the group of the $N$-adic rationals twisted and $\sigma$ is a multiplier of $\Q_N^2$. In this paper, we use techniques from noncommutative topology to…
We use non-commutative geometry to study the bulk of finite dimensional representations of the modular group SL(2,Z). We give specific 2n-parameter families of 6n-dimensional representations obtained from the quotient singularity C^2/Z_6.
Motivated by the search for new examples of ``noncommutative manifolds'', we study the noncommutative geometry (in the sense of Connes) of the group C*-algebras of various discrete groups. The examples we consider are the infinite dihedral…
We show that a formal power series in $2N$ non-commuting indeterminates is a positive non-commutative kernel if and only if the kernel on $N$-tuples of matrices of any size obtained from this series by matrix substitution is positive. We…
We discuss various aspects of noncommutative geometry of smooth subalgebras of Hensel-Steinitz algebras. In particular we study the structure of derivations and $K$-Theory of those smooth subalgebras.
For the flip action of $\mathbb{Z}_2$ on an $n$-dimensional noncommutative torus $A_\theta,$ using an exact sequence by Natsume, we compute the K-theory groups of $A_\theta \rtimes \mathbb{Z}_2$. The novelty of our method is that it also…
The paper deals with the question of homometry in the dihedral groups $D_{n}$ of order $2n$. These groups have the specificity to be non-commutative. It leads to a new approach as compared as the one used in the traditional framework of the…
We study the representations of the group $\mathbb{Z}_2^{*n}$, the free product of $\mathbb{Z}_2$ with itself $n$-times. We use the action of $B_n = S_2 \wr S_n $ as algebra automorphisms on the group algebra $\mathbb{C}(\mathbb{Z}_2^{*n})$…
The paper deals with the cohomological invariants of smooth and connected linear algebraic groups over an arbitrary field. More precisely, we study degree $2$ invariants with coefficients $\mathbb{Q}/\mathbb{Z}(1)$, that is invariants…
In the classification theorems of Vinberg and Yakimova for commutative nilmanifolds, the relevant nilpotent groups have a very surprising analytic property. The manifolds are of the form $G/K = N \rtimes K/K$ where, in all but three cases,…
The article gives the second part of the treatise on Regular Algebraic $K$-theory (Sections V & VI) of the author. Regular algebraic $K$-theory for groups is a homology theory for discrete groups closely connected to (but different from)…
Given a collection P of k^2 commutative polynomials in 2k^2 commutative variables, the objective is to find a condensed representation of these polynomials in terms of a single non-commutative polynomial p(X,Y) in two k x k matrix variables…
In this paper we generalize standard results about non-commutative resolutions of quotient singularities for finite groups to arbitrary reductive groups. We show in particular that quotient singularities for reductive groups always have…
We provide an explicit computation of the topological $K$-theory groups $K_*(C_r^*(\mathbb{Z}^n\rtimes \mathbb{Z}/m))$ of semidirect products of the form $\mathbb{Z}^n\rtimes \mathbb{Z}Z/m$ with $m$ square-free. We want to highlight the…
In this note, we calculate all untwisted and twisted (Z/2)^n-equivariant K-groups with compact supports of real finite-dimensional linear representations of (Z/2)^n. The question was motivated by the question of D-brane charges for orbifold…
This is a first of our papers devoted to "noncommutative topology and graph theory". Its origin is the paper math.QA/0002238 by I. Gelfand, V. Retakh, and R.L. Wilson where a new class of noncommutative algebras $Q_n$ was introduced. The…
We study the structure of the commutative multiplicative monoid $\mathbb N_0[x]^*$ of all the non-zero polynomials in $\mathbb Z[x]$ with non-negative coefficients. We show that $\mathbb N_0[x]^*$ is not a half-factorial monoid and is not a…
The partial Stirling numbers T_n(k) used here are defined as the sum over odd values of i of (n choose i) i^k. Their 2-exponents nu(T_n(k)) are important in algebraic topology. We provide many specific results, applying to all values of n,…
Let p be prime. A noncommutative p-solenoid is the C*-algebra of Z[1/p] x Z[1/p] twisted by a multiplier of that group, where Z[1/p] is the additive subgroup of the field Q of rational numbers whose denominators are powers of p. In this…
