Decomposition complexity for metric spaces was recently introduced by Guentner, Tessera, and Yu as a natural generalization of asymptotic dimension. We prove a vanishing result for the continuously controlled algebraic K-theory of bounded…

Let $(1\to N_n\to G_n\to Q_n \to 1)_{n\in \mathbb{N}}$ be a sequence of extensions of countable discrete groups. Endow $(G_n)_{n\in \mathbb{N}}$ with metrics associated to proper length functions on $(G_n)_{n\in \mathbb{N}}$ respectively…

In this article we formulate a version of the analytic Novikov conjecture for semigroups rather than groups, and show that the descent argument from coarse geometry generalises effectively to this new situation.

The aim of this paper is to introduce an approach to the (strong) Novikov conjecture based on continuous families of finite dimensional representations: this is partly inspired by ideas of Lusztig using the Atiyah-Singer families index…

We prove that any countable discrete and torsion free subgroup of a general linear group over an arbitrary field or a similar subgroup of an almost connected Lie group satisfies the integral algebraic K-theoretic (split) Novikov conjecture…

Let $1 \to N \to G \to G/N \to 1$ be a short exact sequence of countable discrete groups and let $B$ be any $G$-$C^*$-algebra. In this paper, we show that the strong Novikov conjecture with coefficients in $B$ holds for such a group $G$…

A Novikov conformal algebra is a conformal algebra such that its coefficient algebra is right-symmetric and left commutative (i.e., it is an ``ordinary'' Novikov algebra). We prove that every Novikov conformal algebra with a uniformly…

Using techniques developed for studying polynomially bounded cohomology, we show that the assembly map for $K_*^t(\ell^1(G))$ is rationally injective for all finitely presented discrete groups $G$. This verifies the $\ell^1$-analogue of the…

We prove that for every finitely generated subgroup of a virtually connected Lie group which admits a finite dimensional model for the classifying space for proper actions the assembly map in algebraic K-theory is split injective. We also…

We study a group which is hyperbolic relative to a finite family of infinite subgroups. We show that the group satisfies the coarse Baum-Connes conjecture if each subgroup belonging to the family satisfies the coarse Baum-Connes conjecture…

The relative Novikov conjecture states that the relative higher signatures of manifolds with boundary are invariant under orientation-preserving homotopy equivalences of pairs. In this paper, we study the relative Baum-Connes assembly map…

We assign real numbers to finite sheeted coverings of compact CW complexes designed as finite counterparts to the Novikov-Shubin numbers. We prove an approximation theorem in the case of virtually cyclic fundamental groups employing methods…

The Baum-Connes assembly map with coefficients $e_{\ast}$ and the Mishchenko-Kasparov assembly map with coefficients $\mu_{\ast}$ are two homomorphisms from the equivariant $K$-homology of classifying spaces of groups to the $K$-theory of…

We formulate and prove a Bott periodicity theorem for an $\ell^p$-space ($1\leq p<\infty$). For a proper metric space $X$ with bounded geometry, we introduce a version of $K$-homology at infinity, denoted by $K_*^{\infty}(X)$, and the Roe…

We shall present an elementary approach to extremal decompositions of (quantum) covariance matrices determined by densities. We give a new proof on former results and provide a sharp estimate of the ranks of the densities that appear in the…

Given a number field K, we consider families of critically separable rational maps of degree d over K possessing a certain fixed-point and multiplier structure. With suitable notions of isomorphism and good reduction between rational maps…

We prove that the Novikov conjecture holds for any discrete group admitting an isometric and metrically proper action on an admissible Hilbert-Hadamard space. Admissible Hilbert-Hadamard spaces are a class of (possibly infinite-dimensional)…
