Abstract

Let $(G,{\mathfrak I},N,S)$ be an affine topological Tits system, and let $Γ$ be a torsion free cocompact lattice in $G$. This article studies the coinvariants $H_0(Γ; C(Ω,{\mathbb Z}))$, where $Ω$ is the Furstenberg boundary of $G$. It is shown that the class $[1]$ of the identity function in $H_0(Γ; C(Ω,{\mathbb Z}))$ has finite order, with explicit bounds for the order. A similar statement applies to the $K_0$ group of the boundary crossed product $C^*$-algebra $C(Ω)\rtimesΓ$. If the Tits system has type $\widetilde A_2$, exact computations are given, both for the crossed product algebra and for the reduced group $C^*$-algebra.

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.
