Homomorphisms between Lie -algebras and Cauchy-Rassias stability of Lie -algebra derivations.
For closed oriented manifolds, we establish oriented homotopy invariance of higher signatures that come from the fundamental group of a large class of orientable -manifolds, including the “piecewise geometric” ones in the sense of Thurston. In particular, this class, that will be carefully described, is the class of all orientable -manifolds if the Thurston Geometrization Conjecture is true. In fact, for this type of groups, we show that the Baum-Connes Conjecture With Coefficients holds. The...
This article summarizes a series of lectures delivered at the Mathematics Department of the University of Leipzig, Germany, in April 1991, which were to overview techniques for solving operator equations on C*-algebras connected with methods developed in a Spanish-German research project on "Structure and Applications of C*-Algebras of Quotients" (SACQ). One of the researchers in this project was Professor Pere Menal until his unexpected death this April. To his memory this paper shall be dedicated....
