In this paper we suggest a new general formalism for studying the invariants of polyhedra and manifolds comming from the theory of von Neumann algebras. First, we examine generality in which one may apply the construction of the extended…

This article constructs Von Neumann invariants for constructible complexes and coherent D-modules on compact complex manifolds, generalizing the work of the author on coherent L 2-cohomology. We formulate a conjectural generalization of…

In this paper we study some new von Neumann spectral invariants associated to the Laplacian acting on L^2 differential forms on the universal cover of a closed manifold. These invariants coincide with the Novikov-Shubin invariants whenever…

A notion of L^2-homology for compact quantum groups is introduced, generalizing the classical notion for countable, discrete groups. If the compact quantum group in question has tracial Haar state, it is possible to define its L^2-Betti…

We define the notion of L^2 homology and L^2 Betti numbers for a tracial von Neumann algebra, or, more generally, for any involutive algebra with a trace. The definition of these invariants is obtained from the definition of L^2 homology…

Andreotti-Vesentini, Ohsawa, Gromov, Koll\'ar, among others, have observed that Hodge theory could be extended to (non compact) K\"ahler complete manifolds, within the L^2 framework. Also, many vanishing theorems on projective or K\"ahler…

In this paper we define $L^{2}$-homology and $L^{2}$-Betti numbers for tracial *-algebras $A$ with respect to a von Neumann subalgebra $B$. When $B$ is reduced to the field of complex numbers we recover the $L^{2}$-Betti numbers of $A$ as…

This note contains a reformulation of the Hodge index theorem within the framework of Atiyah's $L^2$-index theory. More precisely, given a compact K\"ahler manifold $(M,h)$ of even complex dimension $2m$, we prove that…

We study differential operators on complete Riemannian manifolds which act on sections of a bundle of finite type modules over a von Neumann algebra with a trace. We prove a relative index and a Callias-type index theorems for von Neumann…

We revisit the Hitchin integrable system whose phase space is the bundle cotangent to the moduli space $N$ of holomorphic $SL_2$-bundles over a smooth complex curve of genus two. $N$ may be identified with the 3-dimensional projective space…

To a pair (X,f), X compact ANR and f a continuous angle valued map defined on X, a fixed field and a nonnegative integer one assigns a finite configuration of complex numbers with multiplicities located in the punctured complex plane and a…

Let $\overline{M}$ be a compact smoothly stratified pseudo-manifold endowed with a wedge metric $g$. Let $\overline{M}_\Gamma$ be a Galois $\Gamma$-covering. Under additional assumptions on $\overline{M}$, satisfied for example by Witt…

Building upon work of Y. Shalom we give a homological-algebra flavored definition of an induction map in group homology associated to a topological coupling. As an application we obtain estimates of the (co)homological dimension of groups G…

A noncommutative Grassmannian NGr(m, n) is introduced by Efimov, Luntz, and Orlov in `Deformation theory of objects in homotopy and derived categories III: Abelian categories' as a noncommutative algebra associated to an exceptional…

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…

In this paper, we suggest a construction of determinant lines of finitely generated Hilbertian modules over finite von Neumann algebras. Nonzero elements of the determinant lines can be viewed as volume forms on the Hilbertian modules.…

Let $G$ be a reductive group over a number field $F$, which is split at a finite place $\mathfrak{p}$ of $F$, and let $\pi$ be a cuspidal automorphic representation of $G$, which is cohomological with respect to the trivial coefficient…

Let X be a complex smooth quasi-projective variety with an epimorphism $\nu \colon \pi_1(X)\twoheadrightarrow \mathbb{Z}^n$. We survey recent developments about the asymptotic behaviour of Betti numbers with any field coefficients and the…

This article presents a formula for products of Schubert classes in the quantum cohomology ring of the Grassmannian. We introduce a generalization of Schur symmetric polynomials for shapes that are naturally embedded in a torus. Then we…

We generalize the theory of the second invariant cohomology group $H^2_{\rm inv}(G)$ for finite groups $G$, developed in [Da2,Da3,GK], to the case of affine algebraic groups $G$, using the methods of [EG1,EG2,G]. In particular, we show that…
