The index theory for the space of finite propagation unitary operators was developed by Gross, Nesme, Vogts and Werner from the viewpoint of quantum walks in mathematical physics. In particular, they proved that $pi_0$ of the space is determined by the index. However, nothing is known about the higher homotopy groups. In this article, we describe the homotopy type of the space of finite propagation unitary operators on the Hilbert space of square summable $mathbb{C}$-valued $mathbb{Z}$-sequences, so we can determine its homotopy groups. We also study the space of (end-)periodic finite propagation unitary operators.
We study the homotopy type of the space of the unitary group $operatorname{U}_1(C^ast_u(|mathbb{Z}^n|))$ of the uniform Roe algebra $C^ast_u(|mathbb{Z}^n|)$ of $mathbb{Z}^n$. We show that the stabilizing map $operatorname{U}_1(C^ast_u(|mathbb{Z}^n|))
We introduce a computationally tractable way to describe the $mathbb Z$-homotopy fixed points of a $C_{n}$-spectrum $E$, producing a genuine $C_{n}$ spectrum $E^{hnmathbb Z}$ whose fixed and homotopy fixed points agree and are the $mathbb Z$-homotopy
We show that the prequantum line bundle on the moduli space of flat $SU(2)$ connections on a closed Riemann surface of positive genus has degree 1. It then follows from work of Lawton and the second author that the classifying map for this line bundl
We resolve two long-standing and closely related problems concerning stably free $mathbb{Z} G$-modules and the homotopy type of finite 2-complexes. In particular, for all $k ge 1$, we show that there exists a group $G$ and a non-free stably free $mat
We prove that the homotopy theory of Picard 2-categories is equivalent to that of stable 2-types.
