Novikov's conjecture for algebraic K-theory

About 11 years old · traced to

Let RR be one of Z\mathbb Z, Q\mathbb Q, R\mathbb R, or C\mathbb C, and let π\pi be a discrete group. Let BπB\pi be a classifying space and let K(R)\mathbb K(R) and K(Rπ)\mathbb K(R\pi) denote the relevant algebraic KK-theory spectra.

Novikov conjecture for K-theory. The assembly map

Bπ+∧K(R)→K(Rπ)B\pi_+\wedge \mathbb K(R)\to \mathbb K(R\pi)

induces an injection on rational homotopy groups.

This is the KK-theoretic analogue of Novikov's conjecture. The source records proofs in several important classes of groups, but the statement is not known for all discrete groups.
