We determine the bounded cohomology of the group of homeomorphisms of certain low-dimensional manifolds. In particular, for the group of orientation-preserving homeomorphisms of the circle and of the closed 2-disc, it is isomorphic to the polynomial ring g ...
We prove the vanishing of the bounded cohomology of lamplighter groups for a wide range of coefficients. This implies the same vanishing for a number of groups with self-similarity properties, such as Thompson's group F. In particular, these groups are bou ...
In this thesis, we give a modern treatment of Dwyer's tame homotopy theory using the language of ∞-categories.
We introduce the notion of tame spectra and show it has a concrete algebraic description.
We then carry out a study of ∞-operads an ...
Classical Serre-Tate theory describes deformations of ordinary abelian varieties. It implies that every such variety has a canonical lift to characteristic zero and equips the base of its universal deformation with a Frobenius lifting and canonical multipl ...
It is proved that the continuous bounded cohomology of SL2(k) vanishes in all positive degrees whenever k is a non-Archimedean local field. This holds more generally for boundary-transitive groups of tree automorphisms and implies low degree vanishing for ...
We prove the vanishing of the cup product of the bounded cohomology classes associated to any two Brooks quasimorphisms on the free group. This is a consequence of the vanishing of the square of a universal class for tree automorphism groups. ...
Is the cohomology of the classifying space of a p-compact group, with Noetherian twisted coefficients, a Noetherian module? In this paper we provide, over the ring of p-adic integers, such a generalization to p-compact groups of the Evens-Venkov Theorem. W ...
We prove that the norm of the Euler class E for flat vector bundles is 2−n (in even dimension n, since it vanishes in odd dimension). This shows that the Sullivan-Smillie bound considered by Gromov and Ivanov-Turaev is sharp. We construc ...
A simple characterisation of topological amenability in terms of bounded cohomology is proved, following Johnson's formulation of amenability. The connection to injective Banach modules is established. ...
