On the Algebraic K- and L-theory of Word Hyperbolic Groups
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, the assembly maps in algebraic Kand L-theory for the family of finite subgroups are proven to be split injections for word hyperbolic groups. This is done by analyzing the compactification of the Rips complex by the boundary of a word hyperbolic group.

C. OGLE Department of Mathematics, Ohio State University, Columbus, 0H43210, U.S.A. (Received: March 1992) Abstraet. Following Connes and Moscovici, we show that the Baum-Connes assembly map for K,(C~*n) is rationally injective when n is word-hyperbolic, implying the Equivariant Novikov conjecture for such groups. Using this result in topological K-theory and BoreI-Karoubi regulators, we also s...

We investigate the algebraic Kand L-theory of the group ring RG, where G is a hyperbolic or virtually finitely generated abelian group and R is an associative ring with unit.
متن کامل2 Word Hyperbolic Semigroups
The study of automatic and word hyperbolic groups is a prominent topic in geometric group theory. The definition of automatic groups extends naturally to semigroups [3, 8], but word hyperbolic groups are defined by a geometric condition, the thin triangle condition, whose extension is not immediate. The problem is that for semigroups the metric properties of the Cayley diagram are not as closel...
متن کاملOn the Exponent of Triple Tensor Product of p-Groups
The non-abelian tensor product of groups which has its origins in algebraic K-theory as well as inhomotopy theory, was introduced by Brown and Loday in 1987. Group theoretical aspects of non-abelian tensor products have been studied extensively. In particular, some studies focused on the relationship between the exponent of a group and exponent of its tensor square. On the other hand, com...

We prove an equivariant version of the fact that word-hyperbolic groups have finite asymptotic dimension. This is important in connection with our forthcoming proof of the Farrell-Jones conjecture for K∗(RG) for every word-hyperbolic group G and every coefficient ring R.
