چکیده
Let X be a finite aspherical CW-complex whose fundamental group π1(X) possesses a subnormal series π1(X) ⊲ Gm ⊲ . . . ⊲ G0 with a non-trivial elementary amenable group G0. We investigate the L2-invariants of the universal covering of such a CW-complex X. We show that the NovikovShubin invariants αn(X̃) are positive. We further prove that the L2-torsion ρ(2)(X̃) vanishes if π1(X) has semi-integral determinant.

متن کاملOn 2-dimensional Ctf-complexes with a Single 2-cell
In this paper we are interested in finite connected 2-dimensional CTF-complexes, each with a single 2-celL We show any two such complexes have the same homotopy type if their fundamental groups are isomorphic. In fact, there is a homotopy equivalence inducing any isomorphism of the fundamental groups. We also study the homotopy factorizations of such spaces into finite sums. In this paper we ar...
متن کاملL-torsion and Bounded Measure Equivalence of Groups
We show that the L-torsion of finite aspherical CW-complexes with boundedly measure equivalent fundamental groups agrees up to a factor given by the index of the measure equivalence.
متن کاملAlgebraic Properties of Quasi-finite Complexes
A countable CW complexK is quasi-finite (as defined by A.Karasev [30]) if for every finite subcomplex M of K there is a finite subcomplex e(M) containing M such that any map f : A → M , A closed in a separable metric space X satisfying XτK, there is an extension g : X → e(M) of f . Levin’s [36] results imply that none of the Eilenberg-MacLane spaces K(G, 2) is quasi-finite if G = 0. In this pap...
متن کاملImmersions of Surfaces into Aspherical 3-manifolds
We study finite order invariants of null-homotopic immersions of a closed orientable surface into an aspherical orientable 3-manifold. We give the foundational constructions, and classify all order one invariants.
