The Behavior of Nil-Groups under Localization and the Relative Assembly Map

Abstract

We study the behavior of the Nil-subgroups of K-groups under localization. As a consequence we obtain that the relative assembly map from the family of finite subgroups to the family of virtually cyclic subgroups is rationally an isomorphism. Combined with the equivariant Chern character we obtain a complete computation of the rationalized source of the K-theoretic assembly map in terms of group homology and the K-groups of finite cyclic subgroups.

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.

Gerstenhaber algebra structure on the Hochschild cohomology ring of the Xu--Snashall algebra

Let $A$ be a finite dimensional algebra and let $\rmHH^*(A)$ be its Hochschild cohomology ring, which is a Gerstenhaber algebra. Denote by $\calN$ (resp. $G$, $\calG$) the ideal (resp. weak Gerstenhaber ideal, Gerstenhaber ideal) generated by all homogeneous nilpotent elements. Motivated by their work on support varieties via Hochschild cohomology, Snashall and Solberg conjectured that $\rmHH^*(A)/\calN$ is a finitely generated algebra. Xu constructed a counterexample to the Snashall-Solberg conjecture over a base field of characteristic two, and Snashall generalized this example to arbitrary characteristic. Hermann further asked whether $\rmHH^*(A)/G$ is a finitely generated algebra and suggested considering first the Xu--Snashall algebra. In this paper, we answer this question for the Xu--Snashall algebra. In fact, by explicitly computing the Gerstenhaber algebra structure on the Hochschild cohomology ring, we show that $G=\calN$; hence $\rmHH^*(A)/G=\rmHH^*(A)/\calN$ is not a finitely generated algebra. Furthermore, we show that $\rmHH^*(A)/\calG\cong K$. Therefore, one may ask whether, for a finite dimensional algebra $A$, $\rmHH^*(A)/\calG$ is always a finitely generated algebra. Our main tools are two-sided Anick resolutions and weak self-homotopies.
