THE LIMIT OF Fp-BETTI NUMBERS OF A TOWER OF FINITE COVERS WITH AMENABLE FUNDAMENTAL GROUPS
نویسنده
چکیده
We prove an analogue of the Approximation Theorem of L-Betti numbers by Betti numbers for arbitrary coefficient fields and virtually torsionfree amenable groups. The limit of Betti numbers is identified as the dimension of some module over the Ore localization of the group ring.

Residual Amenability and the Approximation of L-invariants
We generalize Lück’s Theorem to show that the L-Betti numbers of a residually amenable covering space are the limit of the L-Betti numbers of a sequence of amenable covering spaces. We show that any residually amenable covering space of a finite simplicial complex is of determinant class, and that the L torsion is a homotopy invariant for such spaces. We give examples of residually amenable gro...
متن کاملL-determinant class and approximation of L-Betti numbers
A standing conjecture in L-cohomology is that every finite CW complex X is of L-determinant class. In this paper, we prove this whenever the fundamental group belongs to a large class G of groups containing e.g. all extensions of residually finite groups with amenable quotients, all residually amenable groups and free products of these. If, in addition, X is L-acyclic, we also prove that the L-...
متن کاملIntegrality 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 کاملCohomology computations for Artin groups, Bestvina–Brady groups, and graph products
We compute: the cohomology with group ring coefficients of Artin groups (or actually, of their associated Salvetti complexes), of Bestvina–Brady groups of type FP, and of graph products of groups, theL-Betti numbers of Bestvina–Brady groups of type FP overQ, and of graph products of groups, the weighted L-Betti numbers of graph products of Coxeter groups. In the case of arbitrary graph products...
