We consider (projectively) linearly sofic groups, i.e. groups which can be approximated using (projective) matrices over arbitrary fields, as a generalization of sofic groups. We generalize known results for sofic groups and groups which…

Let $\Gamma \subset PSL_2(\mathbb{R})$ be a non-arithmetic Fuchsian group of the first kind with finite covolume, and let $j_{\Gamma}$ be a corresponding uniformizer. In this paper we introduce a natural $L_{\omega_1,\omega}$-axiomatization…

Answering some queries of Weiss, we prove that the free product and amenable extensions of sofic groups are sofic as well, and give an example of a finitely generated sofic group that is not residually amenable.

We prove the A-theoretic Isomorphism Conjecture with coefficients and finite wreath products for solvable groups.

We relate two conjectures which have been raised for classification of Leavitt path algebras. For purely infinite simple unital Leavitt path algebras, it is conjectured that K_0 classifies them completely. For arbitrary Leavitt path…

Let $S$ be a surface with $p_g(S)=0$, $q(S)=1$ and endowed with a very ample line bundle $\mathcal O_S(h)$ such that $h^1\big(S,\mathcal O_S(h)\big)=0$. We show that such an $S$ supports families of dimension $p$ of pairwise non-isomorphic,…

We give a cohomological criterion for existence of outer automorphisms of a semisimple algebraic group over an arbitrary field. This criterion is then applied to the special case of groups of type D_2n over a global field, which completes…

We present an alternative approach to the result of Guentner, Higson, and Weinberger concerning the Baum-Connes conjecture for finitely generated subgroups of SL(2,C). Using finite-dimensional methods, we show that the Baum-Connes assembly…

We show that continuous epimorphisms between a class of subgroups of mapping class groups of orientable infinite-genus 2-manifolds with no planar ends are always induced by homeomorphisms. This class of subgroups includes the pure mapping…

This paper demonstrates the uniformly finite homology developed by Block and Weinberger and its relationship to amenable spaces via applications to the Cayley graph of Thompson's Group F. In particular, a certain class of subgraph of F is…

A result of Ben-Or, Coppersmith, Luby and Rubinfeld on testing whether a map be two groups is close to a homomorphism implies a tight lower bound on the distance between the multiplication tables of two non-isomorphic groups.

Isotropic odd unitary groups generalize Chevalley groups of classical types over commutative rings and their twisted forms. Such groups have root subgroups parameterized by a root system $\mathsf{BC}_\ell$ and may be constructed by…

Let F be a finite group with a Sylow 2-subgroup S that is normal and abelian. Using hyperelementary induction and cartesian squares, we prove that Cappell's unitary nilpotent groups UNil_*(Z[F];Z[F],Z[F]) have an induced isomorphism to the…

In 2008, the author proposed a version of duality theory for (not necessarily, Abelian) complex Lie groups, based on the idea of using the Arens-Michael envelope of topological algebra and having an advantage over existing theories in that…

It is shown that the fundamental group of the Griffiths double cone space is isomorphic to that of the triple cone. More generally if $\kappa$ is a cardinal such that $2 \leq \kappa \leq 2^{\aleph_0}$ then the $\kappa$-fold cone has the…

We consider isomorphisms and automorphisms of quantum groups. Let $k$ be a field and suppose $p, q\in k^*$ are not roots of unity. We prove that the two quantum groups $U_q(\mathfrak {sl}_2)$ and $U_p(\mathfrak{sl}_2)$ over a field $k$ are…

Let $X$ be a hyperk\"ahler variety, and assume that $X$ admits a non-symplectic automorphism $\sigma$ of order $k>{1\over 2}\dim X$. Bloch's conjecture predicts that the quotient $X/<\sigma>$ should have trivial Chow group of $0$-cycles. We…

We construct a projective variety with discrete, non-finitely generated automorphism group. As an application, we show that there exists a complex projective variety with infinitely many non-isomorphic real forms.

We study isomorphic universality of Banach spaces of a given density and a number of pairwise non-isomorphic models in the same class. We show that in the Cohen model the isomorphic universality number for Banach spaces of density…

We define an analytical index map and a topological index map for conical pseudomanifolds. These constructions generalize the analogous constructions used by Atiyah and Singer in the proof of their topological index theorem for a smooth,…
