On analytic torsion over C*-algebras
In this paper, we present an analytic definition for the relative torsion for flat C*-algebra bundles over a compact manifold. The advantage of such a relative torsion is that it is defined without any hypotheses on the flat C*-algebra bundle. In the case where the flat C*-algebra bundle is of determinant class, we relate it easily to the L^2 torsion as defined in [7],[5].

The Novikov conjecture for linear groups
Let K be a field. We show that every countable subgroup of GL(n,K) is uniformly embeddable in a Hilbert space. This implies that Novikov’s higher signature conjecture holds for these groups. We also show that every countable subgroup of GL(2,K) admits a proper, affine isometric action on a Hilbert space. This implies that the Baum-Connes conjecture holds for these groups. Finally, we show that every subgroup of GL(n,K) is exact, in the sense of C*-algebra theory.
