On the Farrell-jones and Related Conjectures

چکیده
These extended notes are based on a series of six lectures presented at the summer school “Cohomology of groups and algebraic K-theory” which took place in Hangzhou, China from July 1 until July 12 in 2007. They give an introduction to the Farrell-Jones and the Baum-Connes Conjecture.

On the Farrell-Jones Conjecture and its applications
We present the status of the Farrell-Jones Conjecture for algebraic K-theory for a group G and arbitrary coefficient rings R. We add new groups for which the conjecture is known to be true and study inheritance properties. We discuss new applications, focussing on the Bass Conjecture, the Kaplansky Conjecture and conjectures generalizing Moody’s Induction Theorem. Thus we extend the class of gr...
متن کاملInheritance of Isomorphism Conjectures under colimits
We investigate when Isomorphism Conjectures, such as the ones due to Baum-Connes, Bost and Farrell-Jones, are stable under colimits of groups over directed sets (with not necessarily injective structure maps). We show in particular that both the K-theoretic Farrell-Jones Conjecture and the Bost Conjecture with coefficients hold for those groups for which Higson, Lafforgue and Skandalis have dis...

متن کاملModel Theoretic Reformulation of the Baum-connes and Farrell-jones Conjectures
The Isomorphism Conjectures are translated into the language of homotopical algebra, where they resemble Thomason’s descent theorems.
متن کاملK - and L-theory of group rings
This article will explore the Kand L-theory of group rings and their applications to algebra, geometry and topology. The Farrell-Jones Conjecture characterizes Kand L-theory groups. It has many implications, including the Borel and Novikov Conjectures for topological rigidity. Its current status, and many of its consequences are surveyed.
