Index theory for Heisenberg elliptic and transversally Heisenberg elliptic operators from $KK$-theoretic viewpoint

Abstract

This research comprehensively describes the basic theory of transversally Heisenberg elliptic operators, and investigates the index theory of Heisenberg elliptic and transversally Heisenberg elliptic operators from the perspective of $KK$-theory, applying Kasparov's methodology. Moreover, the analysis methodically examines specific conditions, with a focus on the Fourier transform of the nilpotent group $C^{\ast}$-algebra. We demonstrate enhanced methods for analyzing the hypoellipticity of operators, presenting a robust framework for defining and understanding transversal Heisenberg ellipticity in a $KK$-theoretic context. This work provides a solid foundation for future research into the properties of hypoelliptic differential operators in complicated manifolds.

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.

p-curvature in non-commutative Hodge theory and the Kontsevich-Soibelman operad

Let $\mathcal{C}$ be a differential $\mathbb{Z}/2$-graded category over $\mathbb{C}$. Its periodic cyclic homology $HH^{per}_*(\mathcal{C})$, when viewed as a vector bundle over the formal punctured disk, is equipped with a canonical connection $\nabla^{\mathcal{C}}_{\partial_t}$ called the Getzler-Gauss-Manin connection in the $t$-direction (or the categorical $t$-connection). Our main result is that when $\mathcal{C}$ is smooth and proper, this connection has a regular singularity at $t=0$ and quasi-unipotent monodromy, affirming a conjecture of Katzarkov-Kontsevich-Pantev \cite{KKP}. Our proof follows a reduction mod $p$ argument using a spreading out technique of Toën \cite{To} and a regularity criterion of Katz \cite{Ka1}. The main novelty is the proof of a multiplicative property of the $p$-curvature of $\nabla^{\mathcal{C}}_{\partial_t}$ through an interpretation in terms of the two-colored Kontsevich-Soibelman operad. We then explore two applications of the main result. First, we give an explicit description (under additional assumptions) of the non-commutative Hodge filtration on the periodic cyclic homology of a smooth proper d$(\mathbb{Z}/2)$g category, following a construction of Shklyarov \cite{Shk}. The second application, which is special to our particular method or proof, is an upper bound on the sizes of Jordan blocks of the monodromy of $\nabla^{\mathcal{C}}_{\partial_t}$, which simultaneously generalizes Scherk's local monodromy theorem for isolated hypersurface singularities \cite{Sche} and (partially) a recent result of Pomerleano-Seidel on the quantum connection of a closed monotone symplectic manifold \cite{PS2}. As a specialization, we show that the sizes of these Jordan blocks are bounded above by the diagonal dimension of $\mathcal{C}$ plus one.
