Let $\Gamma$ be a group acting on with finite stabilizers and finite fundamental domain on a building of type $\tilde A_2$. We prove that any non-trivial normal subgroup of $\Gamma$ is of finite index in $\Gamma$.

Let T be a k-regular tree (k>2) and A its automorphism group. We analyze a generic finitely generated subgroup Gamma of A. We show that Gamma is free and establish a trichotomy on the closure of Gamma: it is either discrete, compact or has…

We establish conditions under which an inclusion of finitely aligned left-cancellative small categories induces inclusions of twisted C*-algebras. We also present an example of an inclusion of finitely aligned left-cancellative monoids that…

We classify graph C*-algebras, namely, Cuntz-Krieger algebras associated to the Bass-Hashimoto edge incidence operator of a finite graph. This is done by a purely graph theoretical calculation of the K-theory and the position of the unit…

We compute the equivariant $K$-homology of the classifying space for proper actions, for compact 3-dimensional hyperbolic reflection groups. This coincides with the topological $K$-theory of the reduced $C^\ast$-algebra associated to the…

Given a short exact sequence of locally compact abelian groups $0 \to A \to B \to C \to 0$ and a continuous $C$-valued $1$-cocycle $\phi$ on a locally compact Hausdorff groupoid $\Gamma$ we construct a twist of $\Gamma$ by $A$ that is…

Let $F$ be a finite group. We consider the lamplighter group $L=F\wr\mathbb{Z}$ over $F$. We prove that $L$ has a classifying space for proper actions $\underline{E} L$ which is a complex of dimension two. We use this to give an explicit…

Let $X$ be a locally finite irreducible affine building of dimension $\geq 2$ and $\Gamma \leq \mathrm{Aut}(X)$ be a discrete group acting cocompactly. The goal of this paper is to address the following question: When is $\Gamma$ linear?…

Let $A$ be a separable $C^*$-algebra. We prove that its stabilized second suspension $S^2A\otimes \mathcal K$ and the $C^*$-algebra $qA\otimes \mathcal K$ constructed by Cuntz in the framework of his picture of KK-theory are asymptotically…

Given an $m$-tempered strongly continuous action $\alpha$ of $\R$ by continuous $^{*}$-automorphisms of a Frechet $^{*}$-algebra $A$, it is shown that the enveloping \hbox{$\sigma$-$C^{*}$-algebra} $E(S(\R,A^{\infty},\alpha))$ of the smooth…

We introduce and study a $K$-theory of twisted bundles for associative algebras $A(\mathfrak g)$ of formal series with an infinite-Lie algebra coefficients over arbitrary compact topological spaces. Fibers of such bundles are given by…

This is the second paper in a series of three, where we take on the unified theory of non-Archimedean group actions, length functions and infinite words. Here, for an arbitrary group $G$ of infinite words over an ordered abelian group…

We construct $p$-adic analogs of operator colligations and their characteristic functions. Consider a $p$-adic group $G=GL(\alpha+k\infty, Q_p)$, its subgroup $L=O(k\infty,Z_p)$, and the subgroup $K=O(\infty,Z_p)$ embedded to $L$…

We see that a building whose Coxeter group is hyperbolic is itself hyperbolic. Thus any finitely generated group acting co-compactly on such a building is hyperbolic, hence automatic. We turn our attention to affine buildings and consider a…

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 introduce the notion of a self-similar action of a groupoid $G$ on a finite higher-rank graph. To these actions we associate a compactly aligned product system of Hilbert bimodules, and thereby obtain corresponding universal…

Using the Baum-Connes conjecture with coefficients, we develop a K-theory formula for reduced C*-algebras of strongly $0$-$E$-unitary inverse semigroups, or equivalently, for certain reduced partial crossed products. In the case of…

To every $C^*$ correspondence over a $C^*$-algebra one can associate a Cuntz-Pimsner algebra generalizing crossed product constructions, graph $C^*$-algebras, and a host of other classes of operator algebras. Cuntz-Pimsner algebras come…

Let G be a finite group and K a number field. We show that the "k-th Adams operation" defined by Cassou-Nogues and Taylor on the locally free class group Cl(Z_K G) is a symmetric power operation, if k is coprime to the order of G. Using the…

We give a new proof of the absence of non-trivial idempotents in the group ring of torsion-free cocompact lattices in SL(n,C). It is based on the following procedure. We lift the class of the trace in the cyclic cohomology of the group ring…
