Paper A counterexample to Wall's finite D(2) problem
Constructs a finite connected three-dimensional CW complex whose universal cover has no integral homology above degree two and whose third cohomology vanishes for every local coefficient module, but which has no finite…

Paper Failure of rational injectivity for maximal coarse assembly
Constructs a uniformly discrete bounded-geometry space whose maximal coarse assembly map is not rationally injective. The example is a coarse disjoint union of finite connected graphs of uniformly bounded degree, with…

Paper Nonhomeomorphic closed aspherical four-manifolds
Constructs closed connected aspherical topological four-manifolds that are homotopy equivalent but not homeomorphic, with a common word-hyperbolic fundamental group. This disproves even the homeomorphism-existence…

Paper Chromatic splitting: filtrations and counterexamples
Disproves strong chromatic splitting at height three for primes p ≥ 5, and weak splitting for the derived p-completed sphere at heights p (p ≥ 5) and p+1 (p ≥ 7). Nevertheless, for n ≥ 1 and p\gt n+1, the…

Paper Counterexamples to finite generation at chromatic height two
Refutes the Hahn–Wilson conjecture at chromatic height two. For every sufficiently large prime p, constructs a connective p-complete spectrum of exact fp-type two that cannot be built from completed…

Paper Curtis’s conjecture
Proves Curtis’s conjecture: the positive-degree mod-two stable Hurewicz image of the sphere is spanned by the images of the Hopf-invariant-one classes η, ν, σ and the Kervaire-invariant-one classes that exist.…

Paper The four-dimensional Singer conjecture
Proves that the L2-Betti numbers of the universal cover of every closed connected aspherical topological four-manifold vanish outside degree two. More generally, the same conclusion holds for every finite connected…

Paper Thomason model structures in all strict higher dimensions
Resolves the Ara–Maltsiniotis conjecture: for every n ≥ 1 and n = ω, small strict globular n-categories admit proper combinatorial Thomason model structures Quillen equivalent to simplicial sets. Thus strict higher…

Paper Cyclic length and chromatic fixed-point loss
Determines the optimal chromatic loss from geometric H-fixed points to geometric G-fixed points for every subgroup H of a finite p-group G. At every nonnegative height, the loss equals the shortest subnormal-chain…

Paper Four-dimensional disk embedding and Wall's conjecture
The unrestricted four-dimensional disk-embedding conjecture fails: framed algebraic dual spheres do not suffice to obtain disjoint locally flat spanning disks. In particular, the free group F2 is not good in the sense…

Paper The Kervaire invariant problem at the prime three
Resolves the odd-primary Kervaire invariant problem at the prime three: exactly the standard classes with indices 0, 2, and 3 survive in the mod-three Adams spectral sequence, in stems 10, 106, and 322. Each surviving…

Paper Quillen's conjecture in rational homology
Proves the rational-homology form of Quillen's conjecture for every finite group and every prime. If the largest normal p-subgroup of G is trivial, the poset of nontrivial elementary abelian p-subgroups has nonzero…

Paper The Hovey–Strickland and Chai conjectures
Proves Chai's invariant-ideal conjecture for Lubin–Tate deformation rings over finite residue fields, at every prime and positive height n. Through the implication of Barthel–Heard–Naumann, this proves the…

Paper The Grothendieck homotopy hypothesis
Proves the Grothendieck homotopy hypothesis for ∞-groupoids associated with every Grothendieck coherator in the Ara–Henry convention: these algebraic objects recover the homotopy theory of spaces. () Manuscript…

Paper Finite generation for the K(n)-local sphere
Answers the degreewise finiteness question of Hovey and Hovey–Strickland: every homotopy group of the K(n)-local sphere is a finitely generated ℤp-module, for every prime, positive height and integer degree. The…

Paper The Hilbert–Smith conjecture in every dimension
Every locally compact second-countable Hausdorff group acting faithfully and jointly continuously on a connected finite-dimensional topological manifold is a Lie group. This proves the Hilbert–Smith conjecture in all…

Paper The purely cosmetic surgery conjecture
Distinct Dehn surgery slopes on a nontrivial smooth knot in S3 never produce orientation-preservingly homeomorphic manifolds, proving the purely cosmetic surgery conjecture. The statement includes the meridional slope.…

Paper Finite Smith–Toda complexes at every height
For every n ≥ 0, constructs a finite Smith–Toda spectrum at a prime p depending on n, with Brown–Peterson homology BP/(p,v1,\ldots,vn) and the canonical comodule structure. Thus Smith–Toda complexes exist at every…
