Let $K$ be an imaginary quadratic field of discriminant $d_K$ with ring of integers $\mathcal{O}_K$. When $K$ is different from $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-1})$ and $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-3})$, we consider a certain specific model for the elliptic curve…

We compute the genus of a rational quadratic form in terms of the K-theory of a C*-algebra attached to the adelic orthogonal group of the form. As a corollary, one gets a higher composition law for the rational quadratic forms. As an…

We prove that two arithmetically significant extensions of a field F coincide if and only if the Witt ring WF is a group ring Z/n[G]. Furthermore, working modulo squares with Galois groups which are 2-groups, we establish a theorem…

Generalizing a construction of Wolfgang L\"uck and Bob Oliver, we define a good equivariant cohomology theory on the category of proper G-CW complexes when G is an arbitrary Lie group (possibly non-compact). This is done by constructing an…

Let $R$ be a regular semi-local ring, essentially of finite type over an infinite perfect field of characteristic $p \ge 3$. We show that the cycle class map with modulus from an earlier work of the authors induces a pro-isomorphism between…

In this paper we identify the ``nil-terms'' for Waldhausen's algebraic K-theory of spaces functor as the reduced K-theory of a category of equivariant spaces equipped with a homotopically nilpotent endomorphism.

Recently the second author has associated a finite $\F_q[T]$-module $H$ to the Carlitz module over a finite extension of $\F_q(T)$. This module is an analogue of the ideal class group of a number field. In this paper we study the Galois…

This paper brings together C*-algebras and algebraic topology in terms of viewing a C*-algebraic invariant in terms of a topological spectrum. E-theory, E(A,B), is a bivariant functor in the sense that is a cohomology functor in the first…

Given a ring object $A$ in a symmetric monoidal category, we investigate what it means for the extension $\mathbb{1}\rightarrow A$ to be (quasi-)Galois. In particular, we define splitting ring extensions and examine how they occur.…

We generalize Sen theory to extensions $K_\infty/K$ whose Galois group is a $p$-adic Lie group of arbitrary dimension. To do so, we replace Sen's space of $K$-finite vectors by Schneider and Teitelbaum's space of locally analytic vectors.…

The focus of this thesis is on (1) the role of Ka\v c-Moody (KM) algebras in string theory and the development of techniques for systematically building string theory models based on higher level ($K\geq 2$) KM algebras and (2) fractional…

Suppose $K$ is a finite extension of $\mathbb{Q}_p$ containing a $p^M$-th primitive root of unity. For $1\leqslant s<p$ denote by $K[s,M]$ the maximal $p$-extension of $K$ with the Galois group of period $p^M$ and nilpotent class $s$. We…

In this article we describe the $G\times G$-equivariant $K$-ring of $X$, where $X$ is a regular compactification of a connected complex reductive algebraic group $G$. Furthermore, in the case when $G$ is a semisimple group of adjoint type,…

Hopf Galois theory expands the classical Galois theory by considering the Galois property in terms of the action of the group algebra k[G] on K/k and then replacing it by the action of a Hopf algebra. We review the case of separable…

Given a field $k$ and a finite group $G$, the Beckmann--Black problem asks whether every Galois field extension $F/k$ with group $G$ is the specialization at some $t_0 \in k$ of some Galois field extension $E/k(T)$ with group $G$ and $E…

In an earlier paper, the authors introduced partial translation algebras as a generalisation of group C*-algebras. Here we establish an extension of partial translation algebras, which may be viewed as an excision theorem in this context.…

A generalization of Connes-Thom isomorphism is given for stable, homotopy invariant, and split exact functors on separable $C^*$-algebras. As examples of these functors, we concentrate on asymptotic and local cyclic cohomology and the…

Let T be a triangulated category, A a graded abelian category and h: T -> A a homology theory on T with values in A. If the functor h reflects isomorphisms, is full and is such that for any object x in A there is an object X in T with an…

Let $K$ be a field complete with respect to a nonarchimedean real-valued norm, and let $L/K$ be an algebraic extension. We show that there is a unique norm on $L$ extending the given norm on $K$, with an explicit description. As an…

Tate cohomology has been generalised by several authors using different constructions that have applications in group theory, ring theory and homotopical algebra. Therefore, there is a need for a uniform account that explains why their…
