We give a simple proof of the Lalonde-McDuff conjecture for aspherical manifolds.
In their study of the Yamabe problem in the presence of isometry group, Hebey and Vaugon announced a conjecture. This conjecture generalizes Aubin's conjecture, which has already been proven and is sufficient to solve the Yamabe problem. In…
We construct a locally compact groupoid with the properties in the title. Our example is based closely on constructions used by Higson, Lafforgue, and Skandalis in their work on counterexamples to the Baum-Connes conjecture. It is a bundle…
We establish several results on the word problem for just infinite groups. First, for finitely generated just infinite groups we show that the word problem is uniformly decidable for presentations with recursively enumerable sets of…
Every hyperbolic group acts continuously on its Gromov boundary. One can form the corresponding cross-product C*-algebra A. We show that there always exists a canonical Poincare duality map from the K-theory of A to the K-homology of A. We…
We formulate and prove a version of the Segal Conjecture for infinite groups. For finite groups it reduces to the original version. The condition that G is finite is replaced in our setting by the assumption that there exists a finite model…
We consider irreducible unitary representations $A_i$ of G=SO(n+1,1) with the same infinitesimal character as the trivial representation and representations $B_j$ of H=SO(n,1) with the same properties and discuss H-equivariant homomorphisms…
We consider an $\ell^p$ coarse Baum-Connes assembly map for $1<p<\infty$, and show that it is not surjective for expanders arising from residually finite hyperbolic groups.
We establish a coarse version of the Cartan-Hadamard theorem, which states that proper coarsely convex spaces are coarsely homotopy equivalent to the open cones of their ideal boundaries. As an application, we show that such spaces satisfy…
This is a Bourbaki's seminar text. We introduce the combinatorial Kashiwara-Vergne conjecture on the Baker-Campbell-Hausdorff serie. After recalling previous results and consequences, we explain the Alekseev-Meinrenken's proof…
We show that the classical Baum-Connes assembly map is quantitatively an isomorphism for a class of lacunary hyperbolic groups, and we explain how to see that this class contains many examples of groups that contain graph sequences of large…
In this work we prove the undecidability (and $\Sigma^0_1$-completeness) of several theories of semirings with fixed points. The generality of our results stems from recursion theoretic methods, namely the technique of effective…
Building on work by Kasparov, we study the notion of Spanier-Whitehead K-duality for a discrete group. It is defined as duality in the KK-category between two C*-algebras which are naturally attached to the group, namely the reduced group…
The Isomorphism Conjecture is a conceptional approach towards a calculation of the algebraic K-theory of a group ring RG, where G is an infinite group. In this paper we prove the conjecture in dimensions n<2 for fundamental groups of closed…
In this paper, by solving Diophantine equations involving simple $K_4$-groups, we will try to point out that it is not easy to prove the infinitude of simple $K_4$-groups. This problem goes far beyond what is known about Dickson's…
In this article, we prove a strong relative Novikov conjecture for any pair of groups that are coarsely embeddable into Hilbert space.
The paper proves a conjecture of Solomon Feferman concerning the indefiniteness of the continuum hypothesis relative to a semi-intuitionistic set theory.
We prove the Burghelea Conjecture for groups satisfying some additional cohomological property.
In this paper, we prove the infinite dimensionality of some local and global cohomology groups on abstract Cauchy-Riemann manifolds.
In this paper, we prove a generalized Donaldson-Uhlenbeck-Yau theorem on Higgs bundles over a class of non-compact Gauduchon manifolds.
