Abstract

We first recall the construction of the Chow motive modelling intersection cohomology of a proper surface and study its fundamental properties. Using Voevodsky's category of effective geometrical motives, we then study the motive of the exceptional divisor in a non-singular blow-up. If all geometric irreducible components of the divisor are of genus zero, then Voevodsky's formalism allows us to construct certain one-extensions of Chow motives, as canonical sub-quotients of the motive with compact support of the smooth part of the surface. Specializing to Hilbert--Blumenthal surfaces, we recover a motivic interpretation of a recent construction of A. Caspar.

The K-theory of left pointed derivators

We build on work of Muro-Raptis in [Ann. K-Theory 2 (2017), no. 2, 303-340] and Cisinski-Neeman in [Adv. Math. 217 (2008), no. 4, 1381-1475] to prove that the additivity of derivator K-theory holds for a large class of derivators that we call left pointed derivators, which includes all triangulated derivators. The proof methodology is an adaptation of the combinatorial methods of Grayson in [Doc. Math. 16 (2011), 457-464]. As a corollary, we prove that derivator K-theory is an infinite loop space. Finally, we speculate on the role of derivator K-theory as a trace from the algebraic K-theory of a stable $\infty$-category à la Blumberg-Gepner-Tabuada in [Geom. Topol. 17 (2013), no. 2, 733-838].

Solving the index problem for (curved) Bernstein-Gelfand-Gelfand sequences

We study the index theory of curved Bernstein-Gelfand-Gelfand (BGG) sequences in parabolic geometry and their role in $K$-homology and noncommutative geometry. The BGG-sequences fit into $K$-homology, and we solve their index problem. We provide a condition for when the BGG-complex on the flat parabolic geometry $G/P$ of a semisimple Lie group $G$ fits into $G$-equivariant $K$-homology by means of Heisenberg calculus. For higher rank Lie groups, we prove a no-go theorem showing that the approach fails.

Roe algebras and coarse index maps for spaces with proper actions of {é}tale groupoids. I

This is the first in a series of papers extending Roe algebras and coarse index theory to the groupoid-equivariant setting. We introduce some techniques to develop a framework of Roe algebras and their K-theory for spaces equipped with proper actions of {é}tale groupoids. For a fixed {é}tale groupoid G and G-C* -algebra A, we construct a functor KC(-; G, A) from the category of locally compact Hausdorff proper G-spaces and equivariant proper continuous maps to the category of graded abelian groups, which provides a natural receptacle for an equivariant coarse index map. We study the existence of universal modules, an analog of ample modules in non-equivariant setting, and develop a decomposition technique to establish their existence. As an application, we prove that groupoid simplicial complexes satisfying suitable hypotheses admit universal modules.
