In this paper, we prove the Novikov conjecture for a class of highly non-linear groups, namely discrete subgroups of the diffeomorphism group of a compact smooth manifold. This removes the volume-preserving condition in a previous work.…

In this paper, we discuss the embeddability of subspaces of the Gromov-Hausdorff space, which consists of isometry classes of compact metric spaces endowed with the Gromov-Hausdorff distance, into Hilbert spaces. These embeddings are…

In 2022, using methods from ergodic theory, Kra, Moreira, Richter, and Robertson resolved a longstanding conjecture of Erd\H{o}s about sumsets in large subsets of the natural numbers. In this paper, we extend this result to several…

For a topological group $G$, amenability can be characterized by the amenability of the convolution Banach algebra $L^1(G)$. Here a Banach algebra $A$ is called amenable if every bounded derivation from $A$ into any dual--type…

Let $\mathscr{C}_n=\{-1,1\}^n$ be the discrete hypercube equipped with the uniform probability measure $\sigma_n$. We prove that if $(E,\|\cdot\|_E)$ is a Banach space of finite cotype and $p\in[1,\infty)$, then every function…

The main purposes of this paper are (1) To survey the area of coarse embeddability of metric spaces into Banach spaces, and, in particular, coarse embeddability of different Banach spaces into each other; (2) To present new results on the…

For a fixed $K\gg 1$ and $n\in\mathbb{N}$, $n\gg 1$, we study metric spaces which admit embeddings with distortion $\le K$ into each $n$-dimensional Banach space. Classical examples include spaces embeddable into $\log n$-dimensional…

In this paper, we begin by constructing global linear maps on (n-2)-dimensional subspaces, derived from the local continuity of linear transformations among central sections of a convex body. Using these linear maps, we subsequently…

It is known that if finite subsets of a locally finite metric space $M$ admit $C$-bilipschitz embeddings into $\ell_p$ $(1\le p\le \infty)$, then for every $\epsilon>0$, the space $M$ admits a $(C+\epsilon)$-bilipschitz embedding into…

In this paper we study the regularity of embeddings of finite--dimensional subsets of Banach spaces into Euclidean spaces. In 1999, Hunt and Kaloshin [Nonlinearity 12 1263-1275] introduced the thickness exponent and proved an embedding…

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 show that the rational Novikov conjecture for a group $\Gamma$ of finite homological type follows from the mod 2 acyclicity of the Higson compactifcation of an E$\Gamma$. We then show that for groups of finite asymptotic dimension the…
