On positive scalar curvature bordism
Paolo Piazza, Thomas Schick, Vito Felice Zenobi
Using standard results from higher (secondary) index theory, we prove that the positive scalar curvature bordism groups of a cartesian product GxZ are infinite in dimension 4n if n…
The Gromov-Lawson codimension 2 obstruction to positive scalar curvature and the C*-index
Yosuke Kubota, Thomas Schick
Gromov and Lawson developed a codimension 2 index obstruction to positive scalar curvature for a closed spin manifold M, later refined by Hanke, Pape and Schick. Kubota has shown t…
Transfer maps in generalized group homology via submanifolds
Martin Nitsche, Thomas Schick, Rudolf Zeidler
Let be a submanifold embedding of spin manifolds of some codimension . A classical result of Gromov and Lawson, refined by Hanke, Pape and Schick, states th…
Mapping analytic surgery to homology, higher rho numbers and metrics of positive scalar curvature
Paolo Piazza, Thomas Schick, Vito Felice Zenobi
Let be a f.g. discrete group and let be a Galois -covering of a smooth closed manifold . Let be the analytic structure group, appearing in t…
Open projections and Murray-von Neumann equivalence
Masayoshi Kaneda, Thomas Schick
We characterize the -algebras for which openness of projections in their second duals is preserved under Murray-von Neumann equivalence. They are precisely the extensions…
