The action dimension conjecture for L2L^2-homology

For a discrete group GG, let L2Hi(G)L^2H_i(G) denote the L2L^2-homology of a contractible GG-space, and let actdim(G)\operatorname{actdim}(G) be the least dimension of a contractible manifold admitting a proper GG-action. Action dimension conjecture.

L2Hi(G)=0for i>actdim(G)/2.L^2H_i(G)=0\quad\text{for }i>\operatorname{actdim}(G)/2.

This conjecture would imply the action-dimension obstruction for products of non-abelian free groups and is one of the vanishing conjectures relating L2L^2-homology to dimensions of group actions. The source presents it as an open conjecture.
