Let ! be a finitely generated discrete group. In this paper we establish vanishing results for rho-invariants associated to (i) the spin Dirac operator of a spin manifold with positive scalar curvature and fundamental group !; (ii) the signature operator of the disjoint union of a pair of homotopy equivalent oriented manifolds with fundamental group ! . The invariants we consider are more preci...

This paper presents a scheme of speaker-independent isolated word recognition in which Hidden Markov Modelling is used with Vector Quantization codebooks constructed using the Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithm for Gaussian mixture models. In comparison with conventional vector quantization, the EM algorithm results in greater recognition accuracy.

Abstract We show that complex semisimple quantum groups, is, Drinfeld doubles of $q$-deformations compact Lie satisfy a categorical version the Baum–Connes conjecture with trivial coefficients. Our approach, based on homological algebra in triangulated categories, is compatible previously studied deformation picture assembly map and allows us to define an arbitrary coefficients for these groups.

We describe a simple locally CAT(0) classifying space for XXL type Artin groups (with all labels at least 5). Furthermore, when the group is not dihedral, we rank 1 periodic geodesic, thus proving that are acylindrically hyperbolic. Together with Property RD proved by Ciobanu, Holt and Rees, property implies Baum–Connes conjecture groups.

We study an equivariant co-assembly map that is dual to the usual Baum–Connes assembly map and closely related to coarse geometry, equivariant Kasparov theory, and the existence of dual Dirac morphisms. As applications, we prove the existence of dual Dirac morphisms for groups with suitable compactifications, that is, satisfying the Carlsson–Pedersen condition, and we study a K–theoretic counte...
