This volume contains the proceedings of the AMS Special Session on Singer–Hopf Conjecture in Geometry and Topology, held from March 18–19, 2023, at Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, Georgia. It presents a multidisciplinary point of view on the Singer conjecture, the Hopf conjecture, the study on normalized Betti numbers, and several other intriguing questions on the fundamental group and cohomology of aspherical manifolds. This volume highlights many interesting research directions in the study of aspherical manifolds and covers a large collection of problems and conjectures about $L^2$-invariants of aspherical manifolds. It provides a snapshot of contemporary research in mathematics at the interface of geometry and topology, as well as algebraic geometry. The problems are presented from several distinct points of view, and the articles in this volume suggest possible generalizations and bridge a gap with closely related problems in differential geometry, complex algebraic geometry, and geometric topology. The volume can play a role in focusing the attention of the mathematical community on these fascinating problems which continue to resist the siege of geometers and topologists. It is our hope that this volume will become a valuable resource for early career mathematicians interested in these deep and important questions.

This book, now in a revised and extended second edition, offers an in-depth account of Coxeter groups through the perspective of geometric group theory. It examines the connections between Coxeter groups and major open problems in topology related to aspherical manifolds, such as the Euler Characteristic Conjecture and the Borel and Singer Conjectures. The book also discusses key topics in geometric group theory and topology, including Hopf’s theory of ends, contractible manifolds and homology spheres, the Poincaré Conjecture, and Gromov’s theory of CAT(0) spaces and groups. In addition, this second edition includes new chapters on Artin groups and their Betti numbers. Written by a leading expert, the book is an authoritative reference on the subject.

Geometric Topology is a foundational component of modern mathematics, involving the study of spacial properties and invariants of familiar objects such as manifolds and complexes. This volume, which is intended both as an introduction to the subject and as a wide ranging resouce for those already grounded in it, consists of 21 expository surveys written by leading experts and covering active areas of current research. They provide the reader with an up-to-date overview of this flourishing branch of mathematics.

This volume is a proceedings of a workshop at the Simons Center for Geometry and Physics from May 31– June 4, 2022. The workshop highlighted progress in the areas of vertex operator algebras, conformal field theory, categorification, low dimensional topology and representation theory of affine Lie algebras, loop groups, and quantum groups. In the past 40 years, string theory gave rise to the mathematical theory of vertex operator algebras, which led to the construction of representations of affine Lie algebras and the Moonshine module of the Monster group. These mathematical constructions have in turn led to ideas about 3-dimensional quantum gravity. In another direction, the discovery of the Jones polynomial led to a physical construction of 3-dimensional topological quantum field theories (TQFTs), which in turn advanced many mathematical developments in quantum groups and low dimensional topology. Louis Crane and Igor Frenkel introduced the categorification program with the goal of upgrading 3-dimensional TQFTs coming from representation theory of quantum groups to 4-dimensional TQFTs. This idea gave rise to the development of link homologies constructed from representation-theoretic, algebraic-geometric, combinatorial, and physical structures. Articles in this volume present both classical and new results related to these topics. They will be interesting to researchers and graduate students working in mathematical aspects of modern quantum field theory.

In the middle of the last century, after hearing a talk of Mostow on one of his rigidity theorems, Borel conjectured in a letter to Serre a purely topological version of rigidity for aspherical manifolds (i.e. manifolds with contractible universal covers). The Borel conjecture is now one of the central problems of topology with many implications for manifolds that need not be aspherical. Since then, the theory of rigidity has vastly expanded in both precision and scope. This book rethinks the implications of accepting his heuristic as a source of ideas. Doing so leads to many variants of the original conjecture - some true, some false, and some that remain conjectural. The author explores this collection of ideas, following them where they lead whether into rigidity theory in its differential geometric and representation theoretic forms, or geometric group theory, metric geometry, global analysis, algebraic geometry, K-theory, or controlled topology.

This volume represents the proceedings of the conference on Noncommutative Geometric Methods in Global Analysis, held in honor of Henri Moscovici, from June 29-July 4, 2009, in Bonn, Germany. Henri Moscovici has made a number of major contributions to noncommutative geometry, global analysis, and representation theory. This volume, which includes articles by some of the leading experts in these fields, provides a panoramic view of the interactions of noncommutative geometry with a variety of areas of mathematics. It focuses on geometry, analysis and topology of manifolds and singular spaces, index theory, group representation theory, connections of noncommutative geometry with number theory and arithmetic geometry, Hopf algebras and their cyclic cohomology.

Aimed toward graduate students and research mathematicians, with minimal prerequisites this book provides a fresh take on Alexandrov geometry and explains the importance of CAT(0) geometry in geometric group theory. Beginning with an overview of fundamentals, definitions, and conventions, this book quickly moves forward to discuss the Reshetnyak gluing theorem and applies it to the billiards problems. The Hadamard–Cartan globalization theorem is explored and applied to construct exotic aspherical manifolds.
