$G$-Homotopy Invariance of the Analytic Signature of Proper Co-compact $G$-manifolds and Equivariant Novikov Conjecture

The main result of this paper is the $G$-homotopy invariance of the $G$-index of signature operator of proper co-compact $G$-manifolds. If proper co-compact $G$ manifolds $X$ and $Y$ are $G$-homotopy equivalent, then we prove that the images of their signature operators by the $G$-index map are the same in the $K$-theory of the $C^{*}$-algebra of the group $G$. Neither discreteness of the locally compact group $G$ nor freeness of the action of $G$ on $X$ are required, so this is a generalization of the classical case of closed manifolds. Using this result we can deduce the equivariant version of Novikov conjecture for proper co-compact $G$-manifolds from the Strong Novikov conjecture for $G$.

On the Strong Novikov Conjecture of Locally Compact Groups for Low Degree Cohomology Classes

The main result of this paper is non-vanishing of the image of the index map from the $G$-equivariant $K$-homology of a proper $G$-compact $G$-manifold $X$ to the $K$-theory of the $C^{*}$-algebra of the group $G$. Under the assumption that the Kronecker pairing of a $K$-homology class with a low-dimensional cohomology class is non-zero, we prove that the image of this class under the index map is non-zero. Neither discreteness of the locally compact group $G$ nor freeness of the action of $G$ on $X$ are required. The case of free actions of discrete groups was considered earlier by B. Hanke and T. Schick.

Invariance of Finiteness of K-area under Surgery

K-area is an invariant for Riemannian manifolds introduced by Gromov as an obstruction to the existence of positive scalar curvature. However in general it is difficult to determine whether K-area is finite or not. though the definition of K-area is quite natural. In this paper, we study how the invariant changes under surgery.
