We provide and study an equivariant theory of group (co)homology of a group G with coefficients in a gamma-equivariant G-module A, when a separate group "gamma" acts on G and A, generalizing the classical Eilenberg-MacLane (co)homology of…

For every strong coarse homology theory we construct a coarse assembly map as a natural transformation between coarse homology theories. We provide various conditions implying that this assembly map is an equivalence. These results…

For Chern-Simons-matter theories in three dimensions, gauge invariance may require the Chern-Simons level k to be half-integral, in which case parity is violated. As noted by Pasquetti for abelian theories with N=2 supersymmetry, the…

We study a three-dimensional symmetric Chern-Simons field theory with a general covariance and it turns out that the original Chern-Simons theory is just a gauge fixed action of the symmetric Chern-Simons theory whose constraint algebra…

We study k Kadison Schwarz (k KS) mappings on matrix algebras and derive explicit conditions ensuring the k KS property for two classes of maps parameterized by a single k-positive map.

The purpose of this work is to give a definition of a topological K-theory for dg-categories over C and to prove that the Chern character map from algebraic K-theory to periodic cyclic homology descends naturally to this new invariant. This…

Let $Q$ be a commutative, Noetherian ring and $Z \subseteq \operatorname{Spec}(Q)$ a closed subset. Define $K_0^Z(Q)$ to be the Grothendieck group of those bounded complexes of finitely generated projective $Q$-modules that have homology…

Let $X$ be a locally compact Abelian group, $Y$ be its character group. Following A. Kagan and G. Sz\'ekely we introduce a notion of $Q$-independence for random variables with values in $X$. We prove group analogues of the Cram\'er,…

The geometric action on a certain orbit of the group of the area-preserving diffeomorphisms is considered, and it is shown, that it coincides with a special reduction of the three-dimensional Chern-Simons theory, under which group and space…

We construct certain maps from buildings associated to td-groups to a space closely related to the classifying numerable $G$-space for the family $\mathcal{C}$vcy of covirtually cyclic subgroups. These maps are used in forthcoming paper to…

We study a family of C*-algebras generalizing both Katsura algebras and certain algebras introduced by Nekrashevych in terms of self-similar groups.

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…

We give an explicit description of the set of all factorization structures, or twisting maps, existing between the algebras k^2 and k^2, and classify the resulting algebras up to isomorphism. In the process we relate several different…

We recall the notions of Clifford and Clifford-like parallelisms in a $3$-dimensional projective double space. In a previous paper the authors proved that the linear part of the full automorphism group of a Clifford parallelism is the same…

We provide a smoothening criterion for group actions on manifolds by singular diffeomorphisms. We prove that if a countable group $\Gamma$ has the fixed point property FW for walls (e.g. if it has property (T)), every aperiodic action of…

We relate two formalisms recently proposed for describing classical integrable field theories. The first is based on the action of four-dimensional holomorphic Chern-Simons theory introduced and studied by Costello, Witten and Yamazaki. The…

In this work, the continuously controlled assembly map in algebraic $K$-theory, as developed by Carlsson and Pedersen, is proved to be a split injection for groups $\Gamma$ that satisfy certain geometric conditions. The group $\Gamma$ is…

We consider the algebra $A_N=k\langle x, y\rangle/(yx-xy-x^N)$, with $k$ a field of characteristic zero and $N$ a positive integer. Our main result is a complete description of the first Hochschild cohomology $\operatorname{HH}^1(A_N)$ of…

We study observables and deformations of generalized Chern-Simons action and show how to apply these results to maximally supersymmetric gauge theories. We describe a construction of large class of deformations based on some results on the…

One-vertex maps (a type of dessin d'enfant) give a uniform characterization of certain well-known algebraic curves, including those of Klein, Wiman, Accola-Maclachlan and Kulkarni. The characterization depends on a new classification of…
