Let $\widetilde{X}$ be a smooth Riemannian manifold equipped with a proper, free, isometric and cocompact action of a discrete group $\Gamma$. In this paper we prove that the analytic surgery exact sequence of Higson-Roe for $\widetilde{X}$…
Given groupoids $G$ and $H$ and a $(G,H)$-equivalence $X$ we may form the transformation groupoid $G\ltimes X\rtimes H$. Given a separable groupoid dynamical system $(A,G\ltimes X\rtimes H,\omega)$ we may restrict $\omega$ to an action of…
We introduce the dual Roe algebras for proper \'{e}tale groupoid actions and deduce the expected Higson-Roe short exact sequence. When the action is cocompact, we show that the Roe $C^*$-ideal of locally compact operators is Morita…
We develop a relative boundary theory for actions of discrete groups on compact spaces and use it to derive rigidity results for reduced crossed products. For a discrete group $\Gamma$ acting on a compact space $X$ and a subgroup $H$, we…
For any torsion-free hyperbolic group $\Gamma$ and any group $G$ that is fully residually $\Gamma$, we construct algorithmically a finite collection of homomorphisms from $G$ to groups obtained from $\Gamma$ by extensions of centralizers,…
We prove that every finitely generated, residually finite group $G$ embeds into a finitely generated perfect branch group $\Gamma$ such that many properties of $G$ are preserved under this embedding. Among those are the properties of being…
We consider sequences of finitely generated discrete subgroups Gamma_i=rho_i(Gamma) of a rank 1 Lie group G, where the representations rho_i are not necessarily faithful. We show that, for algebraically convergent sequences (Gamma_i),…
In this paper, we generalize the equivariant homotopy groups or equivalently the Rhodes groups. We establish a short exact sequence relating the generalized Rhodes groups and the generalized Fox homotopy groups and we introduce…
This is the second part of our series about the Higson-Roe sequence for \'etale groupoids. We devote this part to the proof of the universal $K$-theory surgery exact sequence which extends the seminal results of N. Higson and J. Roe to the…
We say that a finitely generated group $\Gamma$ is self-simulable if every effectively closed action of $\Gamma$ on a closed subset of $\{\texttt{0},\texttt{1}\}^{\mathbb{N}}$ is the topological factor of a $\Gamma$-subshift of finite type.…
We prove that every right-angled Coxeter group (RACG) is profinitely rigid amongst all Coxeter groups. On the other hand we exhibit RACGs which have infinite profinite genus amongst all finitely generated residually finite groups. We also…
We prove that there exist finitely presented, residually finite groups that are profinitely rigid in the class of all finitely presented groups but not in the class of all finitely generated groups. These groups are of the form $\Gamma…
In this paper, we will study presentations of the continuous full group $\Gamma_A$ of a one-sided topological Markov shift $(X_A,\sigma_A)$ for an irreducible matrix $A$ with entries in $\{0,1\}$ as a generalization of Higman-Thompson…
We prove that every finitely generated group $G$ discriminated by a locally quasi-convex torsion-free hyperbolic group $\Gamma$ is effectively coherent: that is, presentations for finitely generated subgroups can be computed from the…
We study exact sequences of finite tensor categories of the form $\Rep G \to \C \to \D$, where $G$ is a finite group. We show that, under suitable assumptions, there exists a group $\Gamma$ and mutual actions by permutations $\rhd: \Gamma…
The equivariant coarse Baum-Connes conjecture interpolates between the Baum-Connes conjecture for a discrete group and the coarse Baum-Connes conjecture for a proper metric space. In this paper, we study this conjecture under certain…
Let $\bold G$ be a reductive algebraic group defined over $\Q$, and let $\Gamma$ be an arithmetic subgroup of $\bold G(\Q)$. Let $X$ be the symmetric space for $\bold G(\R)$, and assume $X$ is contractible. Then the cohomology (mod torsion)…
Let $\Gamma$ be a finite graph together with a group $G_v$ at each vertex $v$. The graph product $G(\Gamma)$ is obtained from the free product of all $G_v$ by factoring out by the normal subgroup generated by $\{g^{-1}h^{-1}gh; g\in G_v,…
For a set $X\subseteq \mathbb{N}$, we define the $X$-torsion of a group $G$ to be all elements $g\in G$ with $g^{n}=e$ for some $n\in X$. With $X$ recursively enumerable, we give two independent proofs (group-theoretic, and model-theoretic)…
Let $\Gamma$ be a f.g. discrete group and let $\tilde M$ be a Galois $\Gamma$-covering of a smooth closed manifold $M$. Let $S_*^\Gamma(\tilde{M})$ be the analytic structure group, appearing in the Higson-Roe analytic surgery sequence $\to…
