Abstract

We reveal a correspondence between the homological torsion of the Bianchi groups and new geometric invariants, which are effectively computable thanks to their action on hyperbolic space. We use it to explicitly compute their integral group homology and equivariant $K$-homology. By the Baum/Connes conjecture, which holds for the Bianchi groups, we obtain the $K$-theory of their reduced $C^*$-algebras in terms of isomorphic images of the computed $K$-homology. We further find an application to Chen/Ruan orbifold cohomology. % {\it To cite this article: Alexander D. Rahm, C. R. Acad. Sci. Paris, Ser. I +++ (2011).}

General linear and Steinberg groups over the Leavitt algebra $L_{\mathbb F_2}(1,2)$

Let $R=L_{\F_2}(1,2)$. We prove that $\GL_r(R)$ is integrally acyclic for every $r\geq1$ and that the canonical map $\St_r(R)\to\GL_r(R)$ is an isomorphism for every $r\geq3$. The unit group $R^\times$ is finitely presented, and we describe an explicit finite presentation. The homology calculation uses leaf coordinates, simultaneous extensions of ordered frames, and finite-field actions on stabilizers. The Steinberg argument lifts relations from a simply connected frame complex and refines coordinates. We also state separate criteria for the two arguments over rings of characteristic two.

Around Segal conjecture in p-adic geometry

This article records multiple results coming from interplay between de-completed topological periodic cyclic homology, Segal conjecture, and F-smoothness. We establish completeness of motivic filtration on de-completed topological periodic cyclic homology of commutative rings with weakly finitely generated absolute cotangent complex. When the ring in question is in addition F-smooth, we show that Segal conjecture holds for its topological Hochschild homology. We also identify our de-completed topological periodic cyclic homology with Manam's Frobenius untwisted topological periodic cyclic homology for quasiregular semiperfectoid rings. We find a crystalline degeneration of Segal conjecture which corresponds to such a statement for F-smoothness. On the other hand, inspired by constructions for topological Hochschild homology, the theory of cyclotomic synthetic spectra allows us to produce a relative conjugate filtration on Hodge--Tate cohomology and its variants, and in the same time, a relative conjugate filtration on topological Hochschild homology and its variants. As a consequence, we deduce transitivity of weak and strong F-smoothness.

Solvability of isotropic $ \mathrm{K}_1 $-functor over semilocal rings

We show that the $ \mathrm{K}_1 $-functor modeled on simple reductive groups over semilocal rings is solvable if the isotropic rank is at least $ 2 $ and that the Tits index is neither $ {}^{2} \mathsf{E}_{6, 2}^{16'} $ nor $ \mathsf{E}_{8, 2}^{78} $. For these two Tits indices the result is already known, but assuming that the base ring contains a field. Our result implies that the elementary subgroup (or its derived subgroup) is the maximal perfect subgroup of the reductive group.
