For any prime number p, let Γn, p denote the congruence subgroup of SLn(ℤ) of level p, i.e. the kernel of the surjective homomorphism fp: SLn(ℤ) → SLn(p) induced by the reduction mod p (Fp is the field with p elements). We defineusing upper left inclusions Γn, p ↪ Γn+1, p. Recall that the groups Γn, p are homology stable with M-coefficients, for instance if M = ℚ, ℤ[1/p], or ℤ/q with q prime and q ╪ p: Hi(Γn, p; M) ≅ Hi(Γp; M) for n ≥ 2i + 5 from [7] (but the homology stability fails if M = ℤ or ℤ/p).

AbstractWe introduce the concept of a rare element in a non-associative normed algebra and show that the existence of such an element is the only obstruction to continuity of a surjective homomorphism from a non-associative Banach algebra to a unital normed algebra with simple completion. Unital associative algebras do not admit any rare elements, and hence automatic continuity holds.

The classifying space BDiff[Formula: see text] of the orientation-preserving diffeomorphism group of a surface [Formula: see text] of genus [Formula: see text] fixing [Formula: see text] points pointwise has a universal bundle [Formula: see text] The [Formula: see text] fixed points provide [Formula: see text] sections [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text]. In this paper we prove a conjecture of R. Hain that any section of [Formula: see text] is homotopic to some [Formula: see text]. Let [Formula: see text] be the space of ordered [Formula: see text]-tuple of distinct points on [Formula: see text]. As part of the proof of Hain’s conjecture, we prove a result of independent interest: any surjective homomorphism [Formula: see text] is equal to one of the forgetful homomorphisms [Formula: see text], possibly post-composed with an automorphism of [Formula: see text]. We also classify sections of the universal hyperelliptic surface bundle.

AbstractIn this paper, we solve a question of Simon Wassermann, whether the Calkin algebra can be written as a C*-tensor product of two infinite dimensional C*-algebras. More generally, we show that there is no surjective *-homomorphism from a SAW*-algebra onto C*-tensor product of two infinite dimensional C*-algebras.

We show that the commutator subgroup G′ of a classical knot group G need not have subgroups of every finite index, but it will if G′ has a surjective homomorphism to the integers and we give an exact criterion for that to happen. We also give an example of a knotted Sn in Sn+2 for all n ≥ 2 whose infinite cyclic cover is not simply connected but has no proper finite covers.

Let A and A0 be rings with a surjective homomorphism A → A0. Given a flat extension B0 of A0, a deformation of B0/A0 over A is a flat extension B of A such that B ⊗AA0 is isomorphic to B0. We show that such a deformation will exist if A0 is an Artin local ring, A is noetherian, and the homological dimension of B0 over A0 is ≤ 2. We also show that a deformation will exist if the kernel of A is nilpotent and if A0 is a finitely generted A0-algebra whose defining ideal is a local complete intersection.
