Gromov’s Theory of Multicomplexes with Applications to Bounded Cohomology and Simplicial Volume
The simplicial volume is a homotopy invariant of manifolds introduced by Gromov in his pioneering paper
The first aim of this paper is to lay the foundation of the theory of
multicomplexes. After setting the main definitions, we construct the singular multicomplex
In the second part of this work we apply the theory of multicomplexes to the study of the bounded
cohomology of topological spaces. Our constructions and arguments culminate in the complete proofs of Gromov’s Mapping Theorem (which
implies in particular that the bounded cohomology of a space only depends on its fundamental group) and of Gromov’s Vanishing Theorem,
which ensures the vanishing of the simplicial volume of closed manifolds admitting an amenable cover of small multiplicity.
The
third and last part of the paper is devoted to the study of locally finite chains on non-compact spaces, hence to the simplicial volume
of open manifolds. We expand some ideas of Gromov to provide detailed proofs of a criterion for the vanishing and a criterion for the
finiteness of the simplicial volume of open manifolds. As a by-product of these results, we prove a criterion for the

Zeta functions in algebra and geometry : Second International Workshop May 3-7, 2010, Universitat de les Illes Balears, Palma de Mallorca, Spain
The volume contains the proceedings of the ``Second International Workshop on Zeta Functions in Algebra and Geometry'' held May 3-7, 2010 at the Universitat de les Illes Balears, Palma de Mallorca, Spain. Zeta functions can be naturally attached to several mathematical objects, including fields, groups, and algebras. The conference focused on the following topics: arithmetic and geometric aspects of local, topological, and motivic zeta functions, Poincare series of valuations, zeta functions of groups, rings, and representations, prehomogeneous vector spaces and their zeta functions, and height zeta functions. This book is published in cooperation with Real Sociedad Matematica Espanola (RSME).
