چکیده

We reveal a correspondence between the homological torsion of the Bianchi groups and new geometric invariants, which are effectively computable thanks to their action on hyperbolic space. We use it to explicitly compute their integral group homology and equivariant K-homology. By the Baum/Connes conjecture, which holds for the Bianchi groups, we obtain the K-theory of their reduced C-algebras in terms of isomorphic images of the computed K-homology. We further find an application to Chen/Ruan orbifold cohomology. Homologie et K-théorie des groupes de Bianchi Résumé. Nous mettons en évidence une correspondance entre la torsion homologique des groupes de Bianchi et de nouveaux invariants géométriques, calculables grâce à leur action sur l’espace hyperbolique. Nous l’utilisons pour calculer explicitement leur homologie de groupe à coefficients entiers et leur K-homologie équivariante. En conséquence de la conjecture de Baum/Connes, qui est vérifiée pour ces groupes, nous obtenons la K-théorie de leurs C*-algèbres réduites en termes d’images isomorphes de la K-homologie calculée. Nous trouvons d’ailleurs une application à la cohomologie d’orbi-espace de Chen/Ruan. 1. Version française abrégée Nous étudions la géométrie d’une certaine classe de groupes arithmétiques (les groupes de Bianchi), à travers une action propre sur un espace contractile. Nous accédons à leur homologie de groupe et leur K-homologie équivariante. En plus de détail, considérons un corps de nombres quadratique imaginaire Q( √−m), où m est un entier positif ne contenant pas de carré. Soit O−m son anneau d’entiers. Les groupes de Bianchi sont les groupes SL2(O−m). Les groupes de Bianchi peuvent être considérés cruciaux pour l’étude d’une classe plus large de groupes, les groupes Kleiniens, qui ont déjà été étudiés par Henri Poincaré [9]. En fait, chaque groupe Kleinien arithmétique non-cocompact est commensurable avec un groupe de Bianchi [8].

The Homological Torsion of Psl2 of the Imaginary Quadratic Integers

The Bianchi groups are the groups (P)SL2 over a ring of integers in an imaginary quadratic number field. We reveal a correspondence between the homological torsion of the Bianchi groups and new geometric invariants, which are effectively computable thanks to their action on hyperbolic space. We expose a novel technique, the torsion subcomplex reduction, to obtain these invariants. We use it to ...

Bulk Viscous Bianchi Type VI0 Cosmological Model in the Self-creation Theory of Gravitation and in the General Theory of Relativity

In the second self-creation theory of gravitation and in the general theory of relativity, Bianchi type VI0 cosmological model in the presence of viscous fluid is studied. An exact solution of the field equations is given by considering the cosmological model yields a constant decelerations parameter q=constant and the coefficients of the metric are taken as A(t)=[c1t+c<su...

Noether Symmetry in f(T) Theory at the anisotropic universe

As it is well known, symmetry plays a crucial role in the theoretical physics. On other hand, the Noether symmetry is a useful procedure to select models motivated at a fundamental level, and to discover the exact solution to the given lagrangian. In this work, Noether symmetry in f(T) theory on a spatially homogeneous and anisotropic Bianchi type I universe is considered. We discuss the Lagran...

Bulk viscous string cosmological models in Saez – Ballester theory of gravitation

Spatially homogeneous Bianchi type-II, VIII and IX anisotropic, as well as isotropic cosmological models can be obtained in a scalar tensor theory of gravitation proposed by Saez and Ballester (1986) when the source for energy momentum tensor is a bulk viscous fluid containing one-dimensional cosmic strings. All the models obtained and presented here are expanding, non-rotating and accelerating...
