    • The Spectra on Lie Groups and Its Application to twisted L2-Invariants 

      Han, Zhicheng (2024-02-29)
      We computed spectra of various $G$-invariant differential operators on the universal cover of 2x2 unimodular groups. This was achieved by applying tools from harmonic analysis/representation theory to corresponding groups. ...
    • An Integration Theorem for Representations of the Tangent Algebroid 

      Busche, Geoffrey-Desmond (2024-02-09)
      This dissertation investigates representations of Lie groupoids and Lie algebroids and the connection between them. Lie groupoids and Lie algebroids are differential-geometric generalisations of Lie groups and Lie ...
    • Twisted equivariant K-theory and equivariant T-duality 

      Dove, Thomas (2023-09-18)
      This thesis is about two things: twisted equivariant K-theory and equivariant topological T-duality. First, we prove a fixed point decomposition theorem for twisted equivariant K-theory, generalising a result of Atiyah and ...
    • Novikov-Shubin Invariants of Nilpotent Lie Groups 

      Höpfner, Tim Martin (2023-05-25)
      Novikov-Shubin invariants are so-called L2-invariants of non-compact manifolds. They are defined using the Laplace operators and measure the density of their spectra near zero. This near-zero part of the spectrum is ...
    • Über J. Bernsteins zweite Adjungiertheit für reduktive p-adische Gruppen 

      Held, Jan Frederic (2022-10-25)
      We give a new and essentially elementary proof of an important result due to Joseph Bernstein in the theory of smooth representations of a reductive p-adic group G. Main tools for studying these representations are parabolic ...
    • Index Theory and Positive Scalar Curvature 

      Seyedhosseini, Mehran (2020-07-24)
      The aim of this dissertation is to use relative higher index theory to study questions of existence and classification of positive scalar curvature metrics on manifolds with boundary. First we prove a theorem relating ...
    • Benjamini-Schramm Convergence of Normalized Characteristic Numbers of Riemannian Manifolds 

      Luckhardt, Daniel (2020-04-30)
      We study a weak form of Gromov-Hausdorff convergence of Riemannian manifolds, also known as Benjamini-Schramm convergence. This concept is also applicable to other areas and has widely been studied in the context of ...
    • A Mayer-Vietoris Spectral Sequence for C*-Algebras and Coarse Geometry 

      Naarmann, Simon (2019-04-10)
      Let $A$ be a C*-algebra that is the norm closure $A = \overline{\sum_{\beta \in \alpha} I_\beta}$ of an arbitrary sum of C*-ideals $I_\beta \subseteq A$. We construct a homological spectral sequence that takes as input the ...
    • Groupoids in categories with partial covers 

      Arabidze, Giorgi (2019-02-07)
      Meyer and Zhu survey the general theory of groupoids, groupoid actions, groupoid principal bundles, and various kinds of morphisms between groupoids in the framework of categories with pretopology. We modify the categorical ...
    • Exakte Moduln über dem von Manuel Köhler beschriebenen Ring 

      Grande, Vincent (2018-11-13)
      When proving an equivariant universal coefficient theorem for C*-Algebras acted on by a finite cyclic group Z/pZ, Manuel Köhler introduces the endomorphism ring R of the tuple (C,C(G),D). The aim of this thesis is to show ...
    • New topological and index theoretical methods to study the geometry of manifolds 

      Nitsche, Martin (2018-07-31)
      For a $\mathit{Spin}$ manifold $M$ the Rosenberg index $\alpha([M])$ is an obstruction against positive scalar curvature metrics. When $M$ is non-$\mathit{Spin}$ but $\mathit{Spin}^c$, Bolotov and Dranishnikov suggested ...
    • Algorithms for structured nonconvex optimization: theory and practice 

      Nguyen, Hieu Thao (2018-07-24)
      We first synthesize and unify notions of regularity, both of individual functions/sets and of families of functions/sets, as they appear in the convergence theory of fixed point iterations. Several new primal and dual ...
    • On C*-algebras associated to product systems 

      Fabre Sehnem, Camila (2018-05-17)
      We consider a class of Fell bundles over quasi-lattice ordered groups. We show that these are completely determined by the positive fibres and that their cross sectional C*-algebras are relative Cuntz–Pimsner algebras ...
    • Characters on infinite groups and rigidity 

      Brugger, Rahel (2018-05-02)
      We show that for a strong extension of discrete measured groupoids $1\to\mathcal{S}\to\mathcal{G}\to\mathcal{Q}\to 1$ with $L\mathcal{G}$ a finite factor, $\mathcal{Q}$ has poperty (T) if and only if the inclusion of ...
    • Coarse Geometry for Noncommutative Spaces 

      Banerjee, Tathagata (2016-11-23)
      We develop an analogoue of coarse geometry for noncommutative spaces in terms of unitizations of the given C* -algebra. Examples for our theory come from Rieffel deformation of compactifications under strongly continuous ...
    • Secondary large-scale index theory and positive scalar curvature 

      Zeidler, Rudolf (2016-09-06)
      We develop a theory of secondary invariants associated to complete Riemannian metrics of uniformly positive scalar curvature outside a prescribed subset on a spin manifold. We work in the context of large-scale (or "coarse") ...
    • A colimit construction for groupoids 

      Albandik, Suliman (2016-08-03)
      We consider Ore monoid actions in a certain bicategory of étale groupoids Gr_prop. Examples of such actions include self-similar groups, higher rank graphs and actions of Ore monoids on spaces by topological correspondences. ...
    • A classification of localizing subcategories by relative homological algebra 

      Nadareishvili, George (2015-12-17)
      In this thesis, we use the tools of relative homological algebra in triangulated categories to define a sensible notion of support for objects in the bootstrap class of a Kasparov category of C*-algebras over a finite ...
    • Higher Groupoid Actions, Bibundles, and Differentiation 

      Li, Du (2014-08-13)
      In this thesis, we employ simplicial methods to study actions, principal bundles and bibundles of higher groupoids. Roughly, we use Kan fibrations to model actions of higher groupoids; we use pairs of a Kan fibration ...
    • C*-quantum groups with projection 

      Roy, Sutanu (2014-06-25)
      We propose a general theory to study semidirect products of C -quantum groups in the framework of multiplicative unitaries. Starting from a quantum group with a projection we decompose its multiplicative unitary as a product ...
