Abstract

Consider a monoidal category which is at the same time abelian with enough projectives and such that projectives are flat on the right. We show that there is a $B_{\infty}$-algebra which is $A_{\infty}$-quasi-isomorphic to the derived endomorphism algebra of the tensor unit. This $B_{\infty}$-algebra is obtained as the co-Hochschild complex of a projective resolution of the tensor unit, endowed with a lifted $A_{\infty}$-coalgebra structure. We show that in the classical situation of the category of bimodules over an algebra, this newly defined $B_{\infty}$-algebra is isomorphic to the Hochschild complex of the algebra in the homotopy category of $B_{\infty}$-algebras.

The Oka principle for \'etale Chow groups

The celebrated theorems of Shilov, Arens--Royden, and Forster give direct descriptions of the first three integral cohomology groups of the Gelfand spectrum of a commutative complex Banach algebra. In his 1974 ICM address, Taylor asked whether the higher cohomology groups admit descriptions in terms of the underlying ring. We give a solution to this question in even degrees: The \'etale (aka Lichtenbaum) Chow group in every codimension is canonically isomorphic to the corresponding even integral cohomology group of the Gelfand spectrum.

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 homology calculation combines simultaneous extensions of ordered frames with scalar actions of the multiplicative groups of finite fields on their stabilizers. The presentation associated with the same frame complex defines a surjective section of the Steinberg map. An explicit finite presentation of $R^\times$ then follows from the theorem of Krsti\'c and McCool. We formulate separate criteria for acyclicity and for the Steinberg comparison over other rings.

The K-theory of uniform Roe algebras for coarse structures generated by finite-rank free abelian subgroups

For a uniformly locally finite coarse space $X$, the uniform Roe algebra $C_u^*(X)$ is the operator norm closure of the controlled operators on $\ell^2(X)$. The $K$-theory of uniform Roe algebras is known in asymptotic dimension zero, but it is not fully understood in higher dimensions. We compute $K_0(C_u^*(G,\mathcal E))$ and $K_1(C_u^*(G,\mathcal E))$ for every countable discrete abelian group $G$ and every finite-rank free abelian subgroup $H\leq G$, where $\mathcal E$ is the coarse structure generated by $H$. We use the Proietti--Yamashita spectral sequence to express the $K$-theory in terms of $H_*(H;\ell^\infty(G,\mathbb Z))$, which we then compute.
