We investigate some consequences of a recent stabilization result of Ionescu, Kumjian, Sims, and Williams, which says that every Fell bundle $C^*$-algebra is Morita equivalent to a canonical groupoid crossed product. First we use the…

In this paper we prove that whenever $G$ is hyperbolic relative to a family of exact, ressidually finite subgroups $\{H_1, \ldots, H_n\}$, the corresponding von Neumann algebra $\mathcal L(G)$ is solid relative to the family of subalgebras…

Given a Fell bundle $\mathcal{B}=\{B_t\}_{t\in G}$ over a locally compact and Hausdorff group $G$ and a closed subgroup $H\subset G,$ we construct quotients $C^*_{H\uparrow \mathcal{B}}(\mathcal{B})$ and $C^*_{H\uparrow G}(\mathcal{B})$ of…

We give a notion of equivalence for Fell bundles over groups, not necessarily saturated nor separable, and show that equivalent Fell bundles have Morita-Rieffel equivalent cross-sectional $C^*$-algebras. Our notion is originated in the…

We introduce and study the notion of relative rigidity for pairs $(X,\JJ)$ where 1) $X$ is a hyperbolic metric space and $\JJ$ a collection of quasiconvex sets 2) $X$ is a relatively hyperbolic group and $\JJ$ the collection of parabolics…

Let $G$ be a compact connected Lie group and let $\xi,\nu$ be complex vector bundles over the classifying space $BG$. The problem we consider is whether $\xi$ contains a subbundle which is isomorphic to $\nu$. The necessary condition is…

In the framework of homological characterizations of relative hyperbolicity, Groves and Manning posed the question of whether a simply connected $2$-complex $X$ with a linear homological isoperimetric inequality, a bound on the length of…

In this paper, we construct a stable parabolic Higgs bundle of rank two, which corresponds to the uniformization associated with a conformal hyperbolic metric on a compact Riemann surface $\overline{X}$ with prescribed singularities. This…

A well-known Hurewicz-type formula for asymptotic-dimension-lowering group homomorphisms, due to A. Dranishnikov and J. Smith, states that if $f:G\to H$ is a group homomorphism, then $\mathrm{asdim} G \leq \mathrm{asdim} H + \mathrm{asdim}…

We generalise various non-triviality conditions for group actions to Fell bundles over discrete groups and prove several implications between them. We also study sufficient criteria for the reduced section C*-algebra C_r(B) of a Fell bundle…

We define notions of semi-saturatedness and orthogonality for a Fell bundle over a quasi-lattice ordered group. We show that a compactly aligned product system of Hilbert bimodules can be naturally extended to a semi-saturated and…

A geometric characterization of the structure of the group of automorphisms of an arbitrary Birkhoff-Grothendieck bundle splitting $\bigoplus_{i=1}^{r} \mathcal(m_{i})$ over $\mathbb{C}\mathbb{P}^{1}$ is provided, in terms of its action on…

Using methods originating in the theory of intersection spaces, specifically a de Rham type description of the real cohomology of these spaces by a complex of global differential forms, we show that the Leray-Serre spectral sequence with…

The property that the polynomial cohomology with coefficients of a finitely generated discrete group is canonically isomorphic to the group cohomology is called the (weak) isocohomological property for the group. In the case when a group is…

We investigate amenability for $W^*$-Fell bundles over a discrete group $G$, with a focus on its characterization via approximation properties and conditional expectations. Building on the notion of $W^*$-amenability, we construct an…

Given a complex space $X$, we cosidered the problem of finding a {\it hyperbolic model} of $X$. This is an object $\ip(X)$ with a morphism $i:X\to \ip(X)$ in such a way that $\ip(X)$ is ``hyperbolic'' in a suitable sense and $i$ is as close…

We prove quantitative stability of isometries on the first Heisenberg group with sub-Riemannian geometry: every $ (1+ \varepsilon)$-quasi-isometry of the John domain of the Heisenberg group $ \mathbb {H} $ is close to some isometry with…

This paper concerns the study of regular Fourier hypergroups through multipliers of their associated Fourier algebras. We establish hypergroup analogues of well-known characterizations of group amenability, introduce a notion of weak…

We prove that the group of isometries preserving a metric foliation on a closed Alexandrov space $X$ is a closed subgroup of the isometry group of $X$. We obtain a sharp upper bound for the dimension of this subgroup and show that, when…

Given a compact K\"ahler manifold $X$, there is an equivalence of categories between the completely reducible flat vector bundles on $X$ and the polystable Higgs bundles $(E,\, \theta)$ on $X$ with $c_1(E)= 0= c_2(E)$ \cite{SimC},…
