The purpose of this note is to introduce a trick which relates the (non)-vanishing of the top-dimensional $\ell^2$-Betti numbers of actions with that of sub-actions. We provide three different types of applications: we prove that the…
Logical nonlocality is completely characterized by Hardy's "paradox" in (2,2,l) and (2,k,2) scenarios. We consider a variety of consequences and applications of this fact. (i) Polynomial algorithms may be given for deciding logical…
In this short remark, we explain that two examples of invariance under duality for a localizing invariant $F$ hold purely formally when $F$ is $K$-theory, whereas the general statement for arbitrary localizing invariants does not reduce to…
We prove that if a time-periodic Tonelli Lagrangian on a closed manifold $M$ satisfies a strong version of the Differentiability Problem for Mather's $\beta$-function, then the Legendre transforms of rational homology classes are dense in…
We provide various counter-examples to the long-standing so-called "Omnibus Conjecture" in Rational Homotopy Theory. That is, we show that a space with finite dimensional even-degree rational cohomology and finite dimensional spherical…
Partial Isometries are important constructs that help give nontrivial solutions once a simple solution is known. We generalize this notion to Extended Partial Isometries and include operators which have right inverses but no left inverses…
2-local derivation is a generalized derivation for a Lie algebra, which plays an important role to the study of local properties of the structure of the Lie algebra. In this paper, we prove that every 2-local derivation on the conformal…
This talk gives a review on how complex geometry and a Lagrangian formulation of 2-d conformal field theory are deeply related. In particular, how the use of the Beltrami parametrization of complex structures on a compact Riemann surface…
An endo-commutative algebra is a nonassociative algebra in which the square mapping preserves multiplication. In this paper, we give a complete classification of 2-dimensional endo-commutative straight algebras of rank one over an arbitrary…
We compute the dimensions of some moduli spaces of left-invariant closed and coclosed $\mathrm{G}_2$-structures on 7-dimensional nilmanifolds, showing that they are not related to the third Betti number. We also prove that, in contrast to…
This paper gives a short and historical survey on the theory of pure motives in algebraic geometry and reviews some of the recent developments of this theory in noncommutative geometry. The second part of the paper outlines the new theory…
Our aim in this paper is to point out a surprising formal connection, between two topics which seem on face value to have nothing to do with each other: relational database theory, and the study of non-locality and contextuality in the…
We develop a descent criterion for $K$-linear abelian categories. Using recent advances in the Langlands correspondence due to Abe, we build a correspondence between certain rank 2 local systems and certain Barsotti-Tate groups on complete…
The Guillemin-Sternberg conjecture states that "quantisation commutes with reduction" in a specific technical setting. So far, this conjecture has almost exclusively been stated and proved for compact Lie groups $G$ acting on compact…
We generalize Blumberg-Mandell's K-theoretic Poitou-Tate duality to arithmetic schemes of arbitrary dimension, smooth and proper over S-integers. As in our earlier papers on the subject, we discuss how to model the compactly supported side…
In the paper it is shown that the Kochen-Specker theorem follows from Burnside's theorem on noncommutative algebras. Accordingly, contextuality (as an impossibility of assigning binary values to projection operators independently of their…
The aim of this paper is to consider the relation between Lie-isoclinism and isomorphism of two pairs of Leibniz algebras. We show that, unlike the absolute case for finite dimensional Lie algebras, these concepts are not identical, even if…
This article provides a geometric bridge between two entirely different character formulas for reductive Lie groups and answers the question posed by W.Schmid in [Sch]. A corresponding problem in the compact group setting was solved by…
We compute L2-invariants of certain nonuniform lattices in semisimple Lie groups by means of the Borel-Serre compactification of arithmetically defined locally symmetric spaces. The main results give new estimates for Novikov-Shubin numbers…
Let $K$ be a complete, algebraically closed non-archimedean valued field, and let $\varphi(z) \in K(z)$ have degree two. We describe the crucial set of $\varphi$ in terms of the multipliers of $\varphi$ at the classical fixed points, and…
