Hilbert bundles with ends

Abstract

Given a countable metric space, we can consider its end. Then a basis of a Hilbert space indexed by the metric space defines an end of the Hilbert space, which is a new notion and different from an end as a metric space. Such an indexed basis also defines unitary operators of finite propagation, and these operators preserve an end of a Hilbert space. Then, we can define a Hilbert bundle with end, which lightens up new structures of Hilbert bundles. In a special case, we can define characteristic classes of Hilbert bundles with ends, which are new invariants of Hilbert bundles. We show Hilbert bundles with ends appear in natural contexts. First, we generalize the pushforward of a vector bundle along a finite covering to an infinite covering, which is a Hilbert bundle with end under a mild condition. Then we compute characteristic classes of some pushforwards along infinite coverings. Next, we will show the spectral decompositions of nice differential operators give rise to Hilbert bundles with ends, which elucidate new features of spectral decompositions. The spectral decompositions we will consider are the Fourier transform and the harmonic oscillators.

Finite-coefficient Gersten injectivity fails in ramified mixed characteristic

Let $V$ be a complete discrete valuation ring of mixed characteristic $(0,3)$ in which $3$ is a uniformizer, and put $A=V[[x,y]]/(3+x^2-y^3)$. We construct a nonzero class $a\in K_2(A;\mathbf Z/3)$ whose restriction to the fraction field of $A$ is zero. Thus Gersten injectivity for algebraic $K$-theory with $\mathbf Z/3$-coefficients fails for a two-dimensional ramified regular local ring. We also indicate the expected analogous construction for every odd prime. This counterexample does not contradict the integral Gersten conjecture but it rules out a naive reduction to finite coefficients.

$E$-theory is compactly assembled

We show that the equivariant $E$-theory category $\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{sep}}^{G}$ for separable $C^{*}$-algebras is a compactly assembled stable $\infty$-category. We derive this result as a consequence of the shape theory for $C^{*}$-algebras developed by Blackadar and Dardarlat and a new construction of $\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{sep}}^{G}$. As an application we investigate a topological enrichment of the homotopy category of a compactly assembled $\infty$-category in general and argue that the results of Carrión and Schafhauser on the enrichment of the classical $E$-theory category can be derived by specialization.

Scissors automorphism groups I: Homological stability and K-theory

In any category with a reasonable notion of cover, each object has a group of scissors automorphisms. We prove that under mild conditions, the homology of this group is independent of the object, and can be expressed in terms of the scissors congruence K-theory spectrum defined by Zakharevich. We therefore obtain both a group-theoretic interpretation of Zakharevich's higher scissors congruence K-theory, as well as a method to compute the homology of scissors automorphism groups. In the classical case of scissors congruence of polytopes, this leads to calculations and structural results on the homology of the scissors automorphism group. In two sequels, we show that more generally our approach leads to homology calculations for various families of groups appearing in group theory and dynamics, recovering results of Szymik-Wahl, Li, and Tanner.
