In this paper, we prove the Farrell-Jones Conjecture for the solvable Baumslag-Solitar groups with coefficients in an additive category. We also extend our results to groups of the form, Z[1/p] semidirect product with any virtually cyclic…

We review the Burghelea conjecture, which constitutes a full computation of the periodic cyclic homology of complex group rings, and its relation to the algebraic Baum-Connes conjecture. The Burghelea conjecture implies the Bass conjecture.…

We prove a sharp, quantitative analogue of Helgason's conjecture at the level of distributions: For a semisimple Lie group $G$ of real rank one, Poisson transforms map a Sobolev space on $P\backslash G$ boundedly with closed range to an…

We prove that for any prime p there exist infinitely many finite simple groups G with a coset xP of a Sylow p-subgroup P of G such that every element of xP has order divisible by p. John Thompson proved this for p=2 in 1967 answering a…

In the spirit of an earlier result of M\"uller on the Heisenberg group we prove a restriction theorem on a certain class of two step nilpotent Lie groups. Our result extends that of M\"uller also in the framework of the Heisenberg group.

We use the Bateman--Horn Conjecture from number theory to give strong evidence of a positive answer to Peter Neumann's question, whether there are infinitely many simple groups of order a product of six primes. (Those with fewer than six…

It was conjectured by H. Zassenhaus that a torsion unit of an integral group ring of a finite group is conjugate to a group element within the rational group algebra. The object of this note is the computational aspect of a method developed…

These notes are an introduction to symplectic groupoids and the double structures associated with them. The treatment is intended to lie about midway between the original account of Coste, Dazord and Weinstein, which relied on effective use…

We prove a normal form theorem for Poisson structures around Poisson transversals (also called cosymplectic submanifolds), which simultaneously generalizes Weinstein's symplectic neighborhood theorem from symplectic geometry and Weinstein's…

We give a short elementary proof of the fact that connected semisimple real Lie groups satisfy property RD. The proof is based on a process of linearization.

We prove that the set of non-pseudo-Anosov elements in the Torelli group is exponentially small.

We prove analogues for reductive algebraic groups of some results for finite groups due to Knoerr and Robinson which play a central role in their reformulation of Alperin's conjecture for finite groups.

We prove that if the classical Baum-Connes conjecture in complex K-theory is true (for a given discrete group G), then the conjecture is also true in the real case (for the same group G). The essential ingredients of the proof are the…

The statement ``no nonabelian simple group can be obtained from a nonsimple group by adding one generator and one relator" 1) is equivalent to the Kervaire--Laudenbach conjecture; 2) becomes true under the additional assumption that the…

We survey recent work on the geometry and dynamics of transverse subgroups of semi-simple Lie groups.

The Moore-Tachikawa conjecture is that each connected complex semisimple group $G$ determines a two-dimensional TQFT in a category of Hamiltonian symplectic varieties. While it would be worthwhile to prove this conjecture outright, our…

The Alperin-McKay conjecture is a longstanding open conjecture in the representation theory of finite groups. Sp\"ath showed that the Alperin-McKay conjecture holds if the so-called inductive Alperin-McKay (iAM) condition holds for all…

We describe the reduction procedure for a symplectic Lie algebroid by a Lie subalgebroid and a symmetry Lie group. Moreover, given an invariant Hamiltonian function we obtain the corresponding reduced Hamiltonian dynamics. Several examples…

We give a simple construction involving partial actions which permits us to obtain an easy proof of a weakened version of L. O'Carroll's theorem on idempotent pure extensions of inverse semigroups.

In this paper we address the issue of existence of cusp forms for almost simple Lie groups using the approach of the second author combined with local information on supercuspidal representations for $p$-adic groups known by the first…
