    Chern character for totally disconnected groups

    Full text link
    In this paper we construct a bivariant Chern character for the equivariant KK KK -theory of a totally disconnected group with values in bivariant equivariant cohomology in the sense of Baum and Schneider. We prove in particular that the complexified left hand side of the Baum-Connes conjecture for a totally disconnected group is isomorphic to cosheaf homology. Moreover, it is shown that our transformation extends the Chern character defined by Baum and Schneider for profinite groups

    We study the symplectic Bott-Chern cohomology by L.-S. Tseng and S.-T. Yau for solvmanifolds endowed with left-invariant symplectic structures

    Quasi-Kahler Chern-flat manifolds and complex 2-step nilpotent Lie algebras

    Full text link
    The study of quasi-Kaehler Chern-flat almost Hermitian manifolds is strictly related to the study of anti-bi-invariant almost complex Lie algebras. In the present paper we show that quasi-Kaehler Chern-flat almost Hermitian structures on compact manifolds are in correspondence to complex parallelisable Hermitian structures satisfying the second Gray identity. From an algebraic point of view this correspondence reads as a natural correspondence between anti-bi-invariant almost complex structures on Lie algebras to bi-invariant complex structures. Some natural algebraic problems are approached and some exotic examples are carefully describe

    Bott-Chern cohomology of solvmanifolds

    No full text
    We study conditions under which sub-complexes of a double complex of vector spaces allow to compute the Bott-Chern cohomology. We are especially aimed at studying the Bott-Chern cohomology of a special class of solvmanifolds

    On the \partial\overline{\partial} -Lemma and Bott-Chern cohomology

    No full text
    On a compact complex manifold X, we prove a Frölicher-type inequality for Bott-Chern cohomology and we show that the equality holds if and only if X satisfies the ∂∂− -Lemma

    Integral cohomology and chern classes of the special linear group over the ring of integers

    No full text
    This paper is devoted to the complete calculation of the additive structure of the 2-torsion of the integral cohomology of the innite special linear group SL(Z) over the ring of integers Z. This enables us to determine the best upper bound for the order of the Chern classes of all integral and rational representations of discrete groups.</p
