ABSTRACT In this paper we show that the fibered isomorphism conjecture of Farrell and
Jones corresponding to the stable topological pseudoisotopy functor is true for
the fundamental groups of a large class of complex manifolds. A consequence of
this result is that the Whitehead group, reduced projective class groups and
the negative K-groups of the fundamental group of these manifolds vanish
whenever the fundamental group is torsion free. We also prove the same results
for a class of real manifolds.

##### Article: The isomorphism conjecture for 3-manifold groups and K-theory of virtually poly-surface groups
[Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: This article has two purposes. In \cite{R3} (math.KT/0405211) we showed that the FIC (Fibered Isomorphism Conjecture for pseudoisotopy functor) for a particular class of 3-manifolds (we denoted this class by \cal C) is the key to prove the FIC for 3-manifold groups in general. And we proved the FIC for the fundamental groups of members of a subclass of \cal C. This result was obtained by showing that the double of any member of this subclass is either Seifert fibered or supports a nonpositively curved metric. In this article we prove that for any M in {\cal C} there is a closed 3-manifold P such that either P is Seifert fibered or is a nonpositively curved 3-manifold and \pi_1(M) is a subgroup of \pi_1(P). As a consequence this proves that the FIC is true for any B-group (see definition 3.2 in \cite{R3}). Therefore, the FIC is true for any Haken 3-manifold group and hence for any 3-manifold group (using the reduction theorem of \cite{R3}) provided we assume the Geometrization conjecture. The above result also proves the FIC for a class of 4-manifold groups (see \cite{R2}(math.GT/0209119)). The second aspect of this article is to relax a condition in the definition of strongly poly-surface group (\cite{R1} (math.GT/0209118)) and define a new class of groups (we call them {\it weak strongly poly-surface} groups). Then using the above result we prove the FIC for any virtually weak strongly poly-surface group. We also give a corrected proof of the main lemma of \cite{R1}.

##### Article: Noncommutative geometry and the stability of circular orbits in a central force potential
[Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In this Paper, we investigate the effects of space noncommutativity and the generalized uncertainty principle on the stability of circular orbits of particles in a central force potential. We show that, up to first order in noncommutativity parameter, an angular momentum dependent term will be appear in the equations of the particle orbits which affects the stability of circular orbits. In the case of high angular momentum, the condition for stability of circular orbits will change considerably relative to commutative case.

##### Article: Algebraic K-theory of groups wreath product with finite groups
[Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The Farrell–Jones Fibered Isomorphism Conjecture for the stable topological pseudoisotopy theory has been proved for several classes of groups. For example, for discrete subgroups of Lie groups [F.T. Farrell, L.E. Jones, Isomorphism conjectures in algebraic K-theory, J. Amer. Math. Soc. 6 (1993) 249–297], virtually poly-infinite cyclic groups [F.T. Farrell, L.E. Jones, Isomorphism conjectures in algebraic K-theory, J. Amer. Math. Soc. 6 (1993) 249–297], Artin braid groups [F.T. Farrell, S.K. Roushon, The Whitehead groups of braid groups vanish, Internat. Math. Res. Notices 10 (2000) 515–526], a class of virtually poly-surface groups [S.K. Roushon, The isomorphism conjecture for 3-manifold groups and K-theory of virtually poly-surface groups, math.KT/0408243, K-Theory, in press] and virtually solvable linear group [F.T. Farrell, P.A. Linnell, K-Theory of solvable groups, Proc. London Math. Soc. (3) 87 (2003) 309–336]. We extend these results in the sense that if G is a group from the above classes then we prove the conjecture for the wreath product G≀H for H a finite group. The need for this kind of extension is already evident in [F.T. Farrell, S.K. Roushon, The Whitehead groups of braid groups vanish, Internat. Math. Res. Notices 10 (2000) 515–526; S.K. Roushon, The Farrell–Jones isomorphism conjecture for 3-manifold groups, math.KT/0405211, K-Theory, in press; S.K. Roushon, The isomorphism conjecture for 3-manifold groups and K-theory of virtually poly-surface groups, math.KT/0408243, K-Theory, in press]. We also prove the conjecture for some other classes of groups.
