The integral Novikov conjectures for S-arithmetic groups I

We prove the integral Novikov conjecture for torsion free S-arithmetic subgroups Γ of linear reductive algebraic groups G of rank 0 over a global field k. They form a natural class of groups and are in general not discrete subgroups of Lie groups with finitely many connected components. Since many natural S-arithmetic subgroups contain torsion elements, we also prove a generalized integral Novikov conjecture for S-arithmetic subgroups of such algebraic groups, which contain torsion elements. These S-arithmetic subgroups also provide a natural class of groups with cofinite universal spaces for proper actions. Partially Supported by NSF grants DMS 0405884 and 0604878.     

Hochschild Cohomology Ring of the Mod-2 Group Ring of the Generalized Quaternion Group

We will determine the ring structure of the Hochschild cohomology HH?( ₂ Q _t ) of the mod-2 group ring  ₂ Q _t for arbitrary generalized quaternion groups Q _t of order 4t by calculating the ordinary cup product in H?(Q _t , _ψ  ₂ Q _t ).     

Algebraic K-Theory In Low Degree and The Novikov Assembly Map

We prove that the Novikov assembly map for a group factorizes,in ‘low homological degree’, through the algebraicK-theory of its integral group ring. In homological degree 2,this answers a question posed by N. Higson and P. Julg. As adirect application, we prove that if is torsion-free and satisfiesthe Baum-Connes conjecture, then the homology group H₁(; Z)injects in and in , for any ring A such that . If moreover B is of dimension lessthan or equal to 4, then we show that H₂(; Z) injects in and in , where A is as before, and ₂ is generated by the Steinberg symbols{,}, for . 2000 Mathematical Subject Classification: primary 19D55, 19Kxx,58J22; secondary: 19Cxx, 19D45, 43A20, 46L85.     

Free Pairs of Bicyclic Units in the Integral Group Ring of the Dihedral Group

Hirano studied the quasi-Armendariz property of rings, and then this concept was generalized by some authors, defining quasi-Armendariz property for skew polynomial rings and monoid rings. In this article, we consider unified approach to the quasi-Armendariz property of skew power series rings and skew polynomial rings by considering the quasi-Armendariz condition in mixed extension ring [R; I][x; σ], introducing the concept of so-called (σ, I)-quasi Armendariz ring, where R is an associative ring equipped with an endomorphism σ and I is an σ-stable ideal of R. We study the ring-theoretical properties of (σ, I)-quasi Armendariz rings, and we obtain various necessary or sufficient conditions for a ring to be (σ, I)-quasi Armendariz. Constructing various examples, we classify how the (σ, I)-quasi Armendariz property behaves under various ring extensions. Furthermore, we show that a number of interesting properties of an (σ, I)-quasi Armendariz ring R such as reflexive and quasi-Baer property transfer to its mixed extension ring and vice versa. In this way, we extend the well-known results about quasi-Armendariz property in ordinary polynomial rings and skew polynomial rings for this class of mixed extensions. We pay also a particular attention to quasi-Gaussian rings.

Suppose R is a principal ideal ring,R~* is a multiplicative group which is composed of all reversible elements in R,and M_n(R),GL(n,R),SL(n,R) are denoted by, M_n(R)={A=(a_(ij))_(n×n)|a_(ij)∈R,i,j=1,2,…,n},GL(n,R) = {g|g∈M_n(R),detg∈R~*},SL(n,R) = {g∈GL(n,R)|det g=1},SL(n,R)≤G≤GL(n,R)(n≥3),respectively, then basing on these facts,this paper mainly focus on discussing all extended groups of G_r={(AB OD)∈G|A∈GL(r,R),(1≤r相似文献   

Novikov algebras and Novikov structures on Lie algebras

We study ideals of Novikov algebras and Novikov structures on finite-dimensional Lie algebras. We present the first example of a three-step nilpotent Lie algebra which does not admit a Novikov structure. On the other hand we show that any free three-step nilpotent Lie algebra admits a Novikov structure. We study the existence question also for Lie algebras of triangular matrices. Finally we show that there are families of Lie algebras of arbitrary high solvability class which admit Novikov structures.     

The Jacobson Radical of an Endomorphism Ring for an Abelian Group

The Jacobson radical of an endomorphism ring is computed for a completely decomposable torsion-free Abelian group and for a mixed Abelian group in one class of mixed groups. For the latter case, we also look into the question when a factor ring w.r.t. the radical is regular in the sense of Nuemann.     

Free Groups and Subgroups of Finite Index in the Unit Group of an Integral Group Ring

In this article we construct free groups and subgroups of finite index in the unit group of the integral group ring of a finite non-Abelian group G for which every nonlinear irreducible complex representation is of degree 2 and with commutator subgroup G′ a central elementary Abelian 2-group.     

Equivariant Novikov Inequalities

We establish an equivariant generalization of the Novikov inequalities which allows us to estimate the topology of the set of critical points of a closed basic invariant form by means of twisted equivariant cohomology of the manifold. We apply these inequalities to study cohomology of the fixed points set of a symplectic torus action. We show that in this case our inequalities are perfect, i.e. they are in fact equalities.     

Integral Group Ring of the Mathieu Simple Group M 23

We investigate the classical Zassenhaus conjecture for the unit group of the integral group ring of Mathieu simple group M ₂₃ using the Luthar–Passi method. This work is a continuation of the research that we carried out for Mathieu groups M ₁₁ and M ₁₂. As a consequence, for this group we confirm Kimmerle's conjecture on prime graphs.

Soliton solutions to the Novikov equation and a negative flow of the Novikov hierarchy

The Novikov equation and a negative flow of the Novikov hierarchy are related to a negative flow of the Sawada–Kotera hierarchy and the Sawada–Kotera equation by reciprocal transformations, respectively. With the help of the Darboux transformations for the negative flow of the Sawada–Kotera hierarchy, the Sawada–Kotera equation and reciprocal transformations, we obtain a parametric representation for $N$-soliton solutions to the Novikov equation and the negative flow of the Novikov hierarchy.     

Engel Theorem for Novikov Algebras

We prove that, if A is left-nil Novikov algebra, then A ² is nilpotent.     

Non-uniformly Contractible Spaces and the Coarse Novikov Conjecture

In this paper bounded surgery obstruction groups for some noncoarsely uniformly contractible spaces are computed. These spaces are constructed out of the union of countably many spheres of fixed dimension and increasing radii. These results support the coarse Novikov conjecture: the coarse homology of the space with coefficients in theory injects into the bounded L-group.     

A Basis of Bideterminants for the Coordinate Ring of the Orthogonal Group

We give a basis of bideterminants for the coordinate ring K[O(n)] of the orthogonal group O(n,K), where K is an infinite field of characteristic not 2. The bideterminants are indexed by pairs of Young tableaux which are O(n)-standard in the sense of King–Welsh. We also give an explicit filtration of K[O(n)] as an O(n,K)-bimodule, whose factors are isomorphic to the tensor product of orthogonal analogs of left and right Schur modules.

Filtrations of Simplicial Functors and the Novikov Conjecture

We show that the Strong Novikov Conjecture for the maximal C^*-algebra C^*(π) of a discrete group π is equivalent to a statement in topological K-theory for which the corresponding statement in algebraic K-theory is always true. We also show that for any group π, rational injectivity of the full assembly map for K_*^t(C^*(π)) follows from rational injectivity of the restricted assembly map. (Received: February 2006)
