In this paper, we study lower bounds on the K-theory of the maximal $C^*$-algebra of a discrete group based on the amount of torsion it contains. We call this the finite part of the operator K-theory and give a lower bound that is valid for…

Let M be a complete Riemannian manifold, D a Dirac-type operator on M whose Weitzenbock curvature is uniformly positive on the complement of a subset Z of M. We show that the coarse index of D is localized to the K-theory of the coarse…

We construct a smooth Lie group structure on the group of real analytic diffeomorphisms of a compact analytic manifold with corners. This generalises the known analogous results in the situation where the real analytic manifold has no…

We will show that for a polynomially contractible manifold of bounded geometry and of polynomial volume growth every coarse and rough cohomology class pairs continuously with the K-theory of the uniform Roe algebra. As an application we…

We show that if a countable discrete group acts properly and isometrically on a spin manifold of bounded Riemannian geometry and uniformly positive scalar curvature, then, under a suitable condition on the group action, the maximal higher…

Index theory has had profound impact on many branches of mathematics. In this note we discuss the context for a new kind of index theorem. We begin, however, with some operator theoretic results. In [11] Berger and Shaw established that…

We extend the notion of a spectral triple to that of a higher-order relative spectral triple, which accommodates several types of hypoelliptic differential operators on manifolds with boundary. The bounded transform of a higher-order…

We construct a regularized index of a generalized Dirac operator on a complete Riemannian manifold endowed with a proper action of a unimodular Lie group. We show that the index is preserved by a certain class of non-compact cobordisms and…

The integral operator of the form $$\bigl(Nu\bigr)(x)=\sum_{k=1}^\infty e^{i\langle\omega_k,x\rangle} \int_{\mathbb R^c}n_k(x-y)\,u(y)\,dy$$ acting in $L_p(\mathbb R^c)$, $1\le p\le\infty$, is considered. It is assumed that…

We study the topology of compact manifolds with a Lie group action for which there are only finitely many non-principal orbits, and describe the possible orbit spaces which can occur. If some non-principal orbit is singular, we show that…

We prove Horrocks' theorem for the odd elementary orthogonal group, which gives a decomposition of an orthogonal matrix with entries from a polynomial ring $R[X]$, over a commutative ring $R$ in which 2 is invertible, as a product of an…

Suppose that $G$ is a topological group and $ C $ a compact subset of $G$. In this paper we define group nonexpansive mappings and then we consider $\sc = \{T_{i} : i \in I \}$ as a family of the group nonexpansive mappings on $C$. Also we…

We study parameter-dependent operators on a manifold with edge and construct new classes of elliptic elements in the corner calculus on an infinite cone with a singular base

In this paper, we construct for the first time the projective elliptic genera for a compact oriented manifold equipped with a projective complex vector bundle. Such projective elliptic genera are rational q-series that have topological…

We define analytic torsion of Z_2-graded elliptic complexes as an element in the graded determinant line of the cohomology of the complex, generalizing most of the variants of Ray-Singer analytic torsion in the literature. It applies to a…

R. W. Carey and J. Pincus in [CaPi86] proposed and index theory for non-Fredholm bounded operators T on a separable Hilbert space H such that TT* - T*T is in the trace class. We showed in [CGK13] using Dirac-type operators acting on…

For a proper, cocompact action by a locally compact group of the form $H \times G$, with $H$ compact, we define an $H \times G$-equivariant index of $H$-transversally elliptic operators, which takes values in $KK_*(C^*H, C^*G)$. This…

Given a manifold with corners $X$, we associates to it the corner structure simplicial complex $\Sigma_X$. Its reduced K-homology is isomorphic to the K-theory of the $C^*$-algebra $\mathcal{K}_b(X)$ of b-compact operators on $X$. Moreover,…

We show that the classification up to homeomorphism of closed topological nonorientable 4-manifolds with fundamental group of order 2 due to Hambleton-Kreck-Teichner can be used to classify a large set of such 4-manifolds with cyclic…

This work is divide in two cases. In the first case, we consider a spin manifold $M$ as the set of fixed points of an $S^{1}$-action on a spin manifold $X$, and in the second case we consider the spin manifold $M$ as the set of fixed points…
