Abstract

We prove excision in entire and periodic cyclic cohomology and construct a Chern-Connes character for Fredholm modules over a C*-algebra without summability restrictions, taking values in a variant of Connes's entire cyclic cohomology. Before these results can be obtained, we have to sort out some fundamental questions about the class of algebras on which to define entire cyclic cohomology. The right domain of definition for entire cyclic cohomology is the category of complete bornological algebras. For these algebras, we define a bivariant cohomology theory, called analytic cyclic cohomology, that contains Connes's entire cyclic cohomology as a special case. The definition of analytic cyclic cohomology is based on the Cuntz-Quillen approach to cyclic cohomology theories using tensor algebras and X-complexes. The appropriate completion of the tensor algebra that yields analytic cyclic cohomology can be understood using an appropriate notion of analytic nilpotence. In addition, we develop the elementary theory of analytic cyclic cohomology (smooth homotopy invariance, stability, Chern character in K-theory).

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.
