We prove the strong form of the Gaussian product conjecture in dimension three. Our purely analytical proof simplifies previously known proofs based on combinatorial methods or computer-assisted methods, and allows us to solve the case of…

The well known Andrews-Curtis Conjecture [2] is still open. In this paper, we establish its finite version by describing precisely the connected components of the Andrews-Curtis graphs of finite groups. This finite version has independent…

The Bost conjecture with C*-algebra coefficients for locally compact Hausdorff groups passes to open subgroups. We also prove that if a locally compact Hausdorff group acts on a tree, then the Bost conjecture with C*-coefficients is true…

We prove a theorem which implies a quantum (multiplicative) analogue of the Horn conjecture, and also of the saturation conjecture. We obtain transversality statements for quantum schubert calculus in any characteristic and also determine…

Can one detect free products of groups via their profinite completions? We answer positively among virtually free groups. More precisely, we prove that a subgroup of a finitely generated virtually free group $G$ is a free factor if and only…

This paper will be concerned with proving that certain Whitehead groups of torsion-free elementary amenable groups are torsion groups and related results, and then applying these results to the Bass conjecture. In particular we shall…

A finitely generated group is lacunary hyperbolic if one of its asymptotic cones is an $\mathbb{R}$-tree. In this article we give a necessary and sufficient condition on lacunary hyperbolic groups in order to be stable under free product by…

We prove that if $G$ is a finite simple group of Lie type and $S$ a subset of $G$ of size at least two then $G$ is a product of at most $c\log|G|/\log|S|$ conjugates of $S$, where $c$ depends only on the Lie rank of $G$. This confirms a…

This paper investigates the $\mathrm{K}$-theory of twisted groupoid $\mathrm{C}^*$-algebras. It is shown that a homotopy of twists on an ample groupoid satisfying the Baum-Connes conjecture with coefficients gives rise to an isomorphism…

We study Hecke pairs using the coarse geometry of their coset space and their Schlichting completion. We prove new stability results for the Baum-Connes and the Novikov conjectures in the case where the pair is co-Haagerup. This allows to…

We prove the Farrell-Jones Conjecture for (non-connective) $A$-theory with coefficients and finite wreath products for hyperbolic groups, CAT(0)-groups, cocompact lattices in almost connected Lie groups and fundamental groups of manifolds…

We prove a generalization of the classical Klein-Maskit combination theorem, in the free product case, in the setting of Anosov subgroups. Namely, if $\Gamma_A$ and $\Gamma_B$ are Anosov subgroups of a semisimple Lie group $G$ of noncompact…

A reduction formula for compressions of von Neumann algebras arising as free products is proved. This shows that the fundamental group is all of the positive reals for some such algebras. Additionally, by taking a sort of free product with…

Let $G$ be the fundamental group of a graph of finitely generated virtually free groups with virtually cyclic edge groups. We shaw that $G$ is cohomologically good if $G$ is residually finite. If $G$ is LERF, we prove that G splits…

In this paper, the Conley conjecture, which were recently proved by Franks and Handel \cite{FrHa} (for surfaces of positive genus), Hingston \cite{Hi} (for tori) and Ginzburg \cite{Gi} (for closed symplectically aspherical manifolds), is…

Let ${\bf G}$ be a connected reductive algebraic group defined over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ with $q$ elements. We propose some conjectures concerning the simple quotients of $M\otimes N$, where $M,N$ are objects in the…

We prove two results. (1) There is an absolute constant $D$ such that for any finite quasisimple group $S$, given 2D arbitrary automorphisms of $S$, every element of $S$ is equal to a product of $D$ `twisted commutators' defined by the…

We investigate the group $G \vee H$ obtained by gluing together two groups $G$ and $H$ at the neutral element. This construction curiously shares some properties with the free product but others with the direct product. Our results address…

We prove the formula $TC(G\ast H)=\max\{TC(G), TC(H), cd(G\times H)\}$ for the topological complexity of the free product of discrete groups with cohomological dimension >2.

We consider the semi-direct products $G=\mathbb Z^2\rtimes GL_2(\mathbb Z), \mathbb Z^2\rtimes SL_2(\mathbb Z)$ and $\mathbb Z^2\rtimes\Gamma(2)$ (where $\Gamma(2)$ is the congruence subgroup of level 2). For each of them, we compute both…
