Operator algebras and topology
Thomas Schick
These notes cover the contents of three survey lectures held at the ICTP Trieste Summer school on High dimensional manifold theory 2001. They introduce techniques coming from the t…
Finite group extensions and the Baum-Connes conjecture
Thomas Schick
In this note, we exhibit a method to prove the Baum-Connes conjecture (with coefficients) for extensions with finite quotients of certain groups which already satisfy the Baum-Conn…
A Model for the Universal Space for Proper Actions of a Hyperbolic Group
David Meintrup, Thomas Schick
Let be a word hyperbolic group in the sense of Gromov and its associated Rips complex. We prove that the fixed point set is contractible for every finite subgroups $H…
Various L2-signatures and a topological L2-signature theorem
Wolfgang Lueck, Thomas Schick
For a normal covering over a closed oriented topological manifold we give a proof of the L2-signature theorem with twisted coefficients, using Lipschitz structures and the Lipschit…
Remarks on a conjecture of Gromov and Lawson
William Dwyer, Thomas Schick, Stephan Stolz
Gromov and Lawson conjectured that a closed spin manifold M of dimension n with fundamental group pi admits a metric with positive scalar curvature if and only if an associated ele…
The Ore condition, affiliated operators, and the lamplighter group
Peter Linnell, Wolfgang Lueck, Thomas Schick
Let G be the wreath product of Z and Z/2, the so called lamplighter group and k a commutative ring. We show that kG does not have a classical ring of quotients (i.e. does not satis…
