We classify torsion actions of free wreath products of arbitrary compact quantum groups and use this to prove that if $\mathbb{G}$ is a torsion-free compact quantum group satisfying the strong Baum-Connes property, then…

In this note we present a complete computation of the topological K-theory of the reduced C*-algebra of a semidirect product of the form $\Gamma=\mathbb{Z}^n\rtimes_\rho\mathbb{Z}/2$ with no further assumptions about of the conjugacy action…

The canonical trace on the reduced C*-algebra of a discrete group gives rise to a homomorphism from the K-theory of this C^*-algebra to the real numbers. This paper addresses the range of this homomorphism. For torsion free groups, the…

We compute the K-theory of a collection of C*-algebras, which we refer to as boundary C*-algebras, arising as the crossed product C*-algebras of lattice actions on the maximal Furstenberg boundaries of symmetric spaces of noncompact type.…

It was shown by Rordam and the second named author that a countable group G admits an action on a compact space such that the crossed product is a Kirchberg algebra if, and only if, G is exact and non-amenable. This construction allows a…

Let H(R,q) be an affine Hecke algebra with a positive parameter function q. We are interested in the topological K-theory of H(R,q), that is, the K-theory of its C*-completion C*_r (R,q). We will prove that $K_* (C*_r (R,q))$ does not…

We construct equivariant $KK$-theory with coefficients in $\mathbb{R}$ and $\mathbb{R}/\mathbb{Z}$ as suitable inductive limits over ${\rm II}_1$-factors. We show that the Kasparov product, together with its usual functorial properties,…

We study the K-theory of ring C*-algebras associated to rings of integers in global function fields with only one single infinite place. First, we compute the torsion-free part of the K-groups of these ring C*-algebras. Secondly, we show…

Let $\mathbf{G}$ be a quasi-split reductive group and $\mathbb{K}$ be a Henselian field equipped with a valuation $\omega:\mathbb{K}^{\times}\rightarrow \Lambda$, where $\Lambda$ is a non-zero totally ordered abelian group. In 1972, Bruhat…

This paper continues our investigation into the question of when a homotopy $\omega = \{\omega_t\}_{t \in [0,1]}$ of 2-cocycles on a locally compact Hausdorff groupoid $\mathcal{G}$ gives rise to an isomorphism of the $K$-theory groups of…

Let $\Omega$ be a tiling space and let $G$ be the maximal group of rotations which fixes $\Omega$. Then the cohomology of $\Omega$ and $\Omega/G$ are both invariants which give useful geometric information about the tilings in $\Omega$. The…

Let G be a complete Kac-Moody group of rank n \geq 2 over the finite field of order q, with Weyl group W and building \Delta. We first show that if W is right-angled, then for all q \neq 1 mod 4 the group G admits a cocompact lattice \Gamma…

Let $G$ be a real linear semisimple algebraic group without compact factors and $\Gamma$ a Zariski dense subgroup of $G$. In this paper, we use a probabilistic counting in order to study the asymptotic properties of $\Gamma$ acting on the…

We provide a Cuntz-Pimsner model for graph of groups $C^*$-algebras. This allows us to compute the $K$-theory of a range of examples and show that graph of groups $C^*$-algebras can be realised as Exel-Pardo algebras. We also make a…

Let $k$ be a field, and suppose that $\Gamma$ is a smooth $k$-group that acts on a connected, reductive $k$-group $\widetilde G$. Let $G$ denote the maximal smooth, connected subgroup of the group of $\Gamma$-fixed points in $\widetilde G$.…

We consider $C^*$-algebras constructed from compact group actions on complex vector bundles $E\to X$ endowed with a Hermitian metric. An action of $G$ by isometries on $E\to X$ induces an action on the $C^*$-correspondence $\Gamma(E)$ over…

We characterise simplicity of twisted C*-algebras of row-finite k-graphs with no sources. We show that each 2-cocycle on a cofinal k-graph determines a canonical second-cohomology class for the periodicity group of the graph. The groupoid…

To a graph $\Gamma$ one can associate a C^*-algebra $C^*(\Gamma)$ generated by isometries. Such $C^*$-algebras were studied recently by Crisp and Laca. They are a special case of the Toeplitz C^*-algebras $\mathcal{T}(G, P)$ associated to…

We compute the K-theory of the C*-algebra of symmetric words in two universal unitaries. This algebra is the fixed point C*-algebra for the order-two automorphism of the full C*-algebra of the free group on two generators which switches the…

Consider the wreath product $\Gamma = F\wr \mathrm{F_n} = \bigoplus_{\mathrm{F_n}}F\rtimes\mathrm{F_n}$, with $F$ a finite group and $\mathrm{F_n}$ the free group on $n$ generators. We study the Baum-Connes conjecture for this group. Our…
