Bass's conjecture for fields of characteristic zero

From papers

Let FF be a field of characteristic zero and GG a group. Let classF(G)f\operatorname{class}_F(G)_f denote the indicated FF-vector space of finite conjugacy classes, and let HSFG\operatorname{HS}_{FG} be the Hattori–Stallings homomorphism. Bass's conjecture. The map

HSFG ⁣:K0(FG)ZFclassF(G)f\operatorname{HS}_{FG}\colon K_0(FG)\otimes_{\mathbb Z}F\longrightarrow \operatorname{class}_F(G)_f

is an isomorphism. This is another formulation of the Bass conjecture, relating projective modules over a group ring to class functions. The source records substantial special cases, but does not state a general resolution.
