We give a purely combinatorial proof of the positivity of the stabilized forms of the generalized exponents associated to each classical root system. In finite type A_{n-1}, we rederive the description of the generalized exponents in terms…

Let G be a finite group. We systematically exploit general homological methods in order to reduce the computation of G-equivariant KK-theory to topological equivariant K-theory. The key observation is that the functor assigning to a…

Let $K$ be a commutative ring with unit and $S$ an inverse semigroup. We show that the semigroup algebra $KS$ can be described as a convolution algebra of functions on the universal \'etale groupoid associated to $S$ by Paterson. This…

We introduce generalised orbit algebras. The purpose here is to measure how some combinatorial properties can characterize the action of a group of permutations on the subsets. The similarity with orbit algebras is such that it took the…

We introduce the notion of a generalized representation of a Jordan algebra with unit. The greneralized representation has the following properties: (1) Usual representations and Jacobson representations correspond to special cases of…

This is a survey of the Kawamata-Morrison cone conjecture on the structure of Calabi-Yau varieties and more generally Calabi-Yau pairs. We discuss the proof of the cone conjecture for algebraic surfaces, with plenty of examples. We show…

In this paper we formulate and lay the foundations for the K-theoretic Farrell-Jones Conjecture for the Hecke algebra of totally disconnected groups. The main result of his paper is the proof that it passes to closed subgroups. Moreover, we…

We construct a Dirac morphism and prove that if this Dirac morphism is invertible, then the isomorphism conjecture for non-connective algebraic K-theory holds true.

We prove that the Farrell-Jones isomorphism conjecture for non-connective algebraic K-theory for a discrete group G and a coefficient ring R holds true if G belongs to the class of groups acting on trees, under certain conditions on G (see…

In a previous paper, we have constructed, for an arbitrary Lie group G and any of the fields F=R or C, a good equivariant cohomology theory KF_G^*(-) on the category of proper $G$-CW-complex and have justified why it deserved the label…

We construct certain maps from buildings associated to td-groups to a space closely related to the classifying numerable $G$-space for the family $\mathcal{C}$vcy of covirtually cyclic subgroups. These maps are used in forthcoming paper to…

We prove that the Fibered Isomorphism Conjecture of T. Farrell and L. Jones holds for various mapping class groups. In many cases, we explicitly calculate the lower algebraic K-groups, showing that they do not always vanish.

We introduce certain $C^*$-algebras and $k$-graphs associated to $k$ finite dimensional unitary representations $\rho_1,...,\rho_k$ of a compact group $G$. We define a higher rank Doplicher-Roberts algebra $\mathcal{O}_{\rho_1,...,\rho_k}$,…

This survey paper is an expanded version of lectures given at the Clay Mathematics Academy ; see http://www.claymath.org/programs/outreach/academy/colloquium2005.php These lectures were intended to very young (and motivated) college…

This paper extends the notion of geometric control in algebraic K-theory from additive categories with split exact sequences to other exact structures. In particular, we construct exact categories of modules over a Noetherian ring filtered…

The K-theoretic Farrell-Jones isomorphism conjecture for a group ring $R[G]$ has been proved for several groups. The toolbox for proving the Farrell-Jones conjecture for a given group depends on some geometric properties of the group as it…

We study cocommutative Hopf dialgebras through generalized digroups and rack combinatorics. We prove that the rack functor obtained from the adjoint rack bialgebra factorizes through the digroup of group-like elements. More precisely, for…

In this paper we study a filtered "K-theoretical" analog of a graded algebra associated to any loopless graph G which was introduced in \cite{PS}. We show that two such filtered algebras are isomorphic if and only if their graphs are…

Let k be a regular F_p-algebra, let A = k[x,y]/(x^b - y^a) be the coordinate ring of a planar cuspical curve, and let I = (x,y) be the ideal that defines the cusp point. We give a formula for the relative K-groups K_q(A,I) in terms of the…

We attempt to survey the field of combinatorial representation theory, describe the main results and main questions and give an update of its current status. We give a personal viewpoint on the field, while remaining aware that there is…
