Integrality of L-Betti numbers
The Atiyah conjecture predicts that the L-Betti numbers of a finite CW -complex with torsion-free fundamental group are integers. We show that the Atiyah conjecture holds (with an additional technical condition) for direct and inverse limits of directed systems of groups for which it is true. As a corollary it holds for residually torsion-free solvable groups, e.g. for pure braid groups or for ...

متن کاملIntegrality of L2-Betti numbers
The Atiyah conjecture predicts that the L-Betti numbers of a finite CW -complex with torsion-free fundamental group are integers. We establish the Atiyah conjecture, under the condition that it holds for G and that H G is a normal subgroup, for amalgamated free products G ∗H (H ⋊ F ). Here F is a free group and H ⋊ F is an arbitrary semi-direct product. This includes free products G∗F and semi-...
متن کاملGraphs of groups and the Atiyah conjecture for one-relator groups
For a finitely-presented, torsion-free, discrete group G, the Atiyah conjecture asserts that the L-Betti numbers of any finite CW-complex with fundamental group G are integers; this conjecture has a natural extension to all groups. We prove that the class of groups for which the (extended) Atiyah conjecture holds and the finite subgroups have only finitely many different orders, is closed under...
متن کاملOn a special class of Stanley-Reisner ideals
For an $n$-gon with vertices at points $1,2,cdots,n$, the Betti numbers of its suspension, the simplicial complex that involves two more vertices $n+1$ and $n+2$, is known. In this paper, with a constructive and simple proof, wegeneralize this result to find the minimal free resolution and Betti numbers of the $S$-module $S/I$ where $S=K[x_{1},cdots, x_{n}]$ and $I$ is the associated ideal to ...
