We introduce a K\"unneth class in the quantum equivariant setting inspired by the pioneer work by J. Chabert, H. Oyono-Oyono and S. Echterhoff, which allows to relate the quantum Baum-Connes property with the K\"unneth formula by…

Using a combination of Atiyah-Segal ideas on one side and of Connes and Baum-Connes ideas on the other, we prove that the Twisted geometric K-homology groups of a Lie groupoid have an external multiplicative structure extending hence the…

In this paper, we present the Baumkuchen Theorem related to the combination of divided Baumkuchen pieces. It can be proved using the basic properties of elementary geometry. We also apply some lemmas to prove the Pizza Theorem.

For a real reductive group $G$, we investigate the structure of the Casselman algebra $\mathcal{S}(G)$ and its similarities to the structure of the reduced group $C^*$-algebra $C_r^*(G)$. We demonstrate that the two algebras are assembled…

In this note we set a configuration space description of the equivariant connective K-homology groups with coefficients in a unital C*-algebra for proper actions. Over this model we define a connective assembly map and prove that in this…

We present the status of the Farrell-Jones Conjecture for algebraic K-theory for a group G and arbitrary coefficient rings R. We add new groups for which the conjecture is known to be true and study inheritance properties. We discuss new…

The Blaschke's conjecture asserts that if $\diam(M)=\text{Inj}(M)=\frac\pi2$ (up to a rescaling) for a complete Riemannian manifold $M$, then $M$ is isometric to $\Bbb S^n(\frac12)$, ${\Bbb R\Bbb P}^{n}$, ${\Bbb C\Bbb P}^{n}$, ${\Bbb H\Bbb…

We study the connection between the condition that the reduced C*-algebra of a finitely presented group is exact and the Novikov conjecture holding. The main result states that if the group is strongly exact in the sense that the inclusion…

The combination of words ``discrete curvature'' is only an apparent contradiction. In this survey we describe curvature notions associated with polygons, polyhedral surfaces, and with abstract polyhedral manifolds. Several theorems about…

It has been proposed that cobordism and K-theory groups, which can be mathematically related in certain cases, are physically associated to generalised higher-form symmetries. As a consequence, they should be broken or gauged in any…

We introduce a notion of approximate ideal structure for a $C^*$-algebra, and use it as a tool to study $K$-theory groups. The notion is motivated by the classical Mayer-Vietoris sequence, by the theory of nuclear dimension as introduced by…

Let $G$ be a linear Lie group acting properly and isometrically on a $G$-spin$^c$ manifold $M$ with compact quotient. We show that Poincar\'e duality holds between $G$-equivariant $K$-theory of $M$, defined using finite-dimensional…

We extend the Boutet de Monvel Toeplitz index theorem to complex manifold with isolated singularities following the relative $K$-homology theory of Baum, Douglas, and Taylor for manifold with boundary. We apply this index theorem to study…

This note provides a counterexample showing that the assumptions that Chabert and Echterhoff have imposed in their permanence property of the Baum-Connes conjecture for group extensions cannot be simplified.

We prove a conjecture of Roe by constructing unified warped cones that violate the coarse Baum-Connes conjecture. Interestingly, the reason for this is probably not what Roe expected, as the obstruction arises in odd rather than even…

The purpose of this article is to prove that Gersten's conjecture for a commutative regular local ring is true. As its applications, we will prove the vanishing conjecture for certain Chow groups, generator conjecture for certain $K$-groups…

We show that the Strong Novikov Conjecture for the maximal C*-algebra C*(G) of a discrete group G is equivalent to a statement in topological K-theory for which the corresponding statement in algebraic K-theory is always true. We also show…

We define united KK-theory for real C*-algebras A and B such that A is separable and B is sigma-unital, extending united K-theory in the sense that KK\crt(\R, B) = K\crt(B). United KK-theory contains real, complex, and self-conjugate…

These notes are based on a lecture course given by the first author in the Sedano Winter School on K-theory held in Sedano, Spain, on January 22-27th of 2007. They aim at introducing K-theory of C^*-algebras, equivariant K-homology and…

Hans Zassenhaus conjectured that every torsion unit of the integral group ring of a finite group $G$ is conjugate within the rational group algebra to an element of the form $\pm g$ with $g\in G$. This conjecture has been disproved recently…
