The finite-by-cyclic assembly conjecture for algebraic K-theory

At least 17 years old · documented by

Let GG be a discrete group and RR a ring. Let fbc\mathcal{\mathrm{fbc}} denote the family of finite-by-cyclic subgroups, all\mathcal{\mathrm{all}} the family of all subgroups, and KR\mathbf{K}_R the algebraic K-theory functor. Finite-by-cyclic assembly conjecture. There is an isomorphism

HnG(EfbcG;KR)⟶HnG(EallG;KR)=Kn(R[G]).H_n^G(E_{\mathcal{\mathrm{fbc}}}G;\mathbf{K}_R)\longrightarrow H_n^G(E_{\mathcal{\mathrm{all}}}G;\mathbf{K}_R)=K_n(R[G]).

Moreover, for every epimorphism φ:Γ→G\varphi:\Gamma\to G, there is an isomorphism

HnΓ(Eφ∗fbc(G)Γ;KR)⟶HnΓ(EallΓ;KR)=Kn(R[Γ]).H^\Gamma_n(E_{\varphi^*\mathcal{\mathrm{fbc}}(G)}\Gamma;\mathbf{K}_R)\longrightarrow H^\Gamma_n(E_{\mathcal{\mathrm{all}}}\Gamma;\mathbf{K}_R)=K_n(R[\Gamma]).

The theorem immediately preceding this statement proves the comparison from the finite-by-cyclic family to the virtually cyclic family, so this conjecture is presented as an equivalent finite-by-cyclic formulation of the Farrell–Jones conjecture.
