On the Hochschild and cyclic (co)homology of rapid decay group algebras (Q2450774)

Summary: We show that the technical condition of solvable conjugacy bound, introduced in [\textit{R. Ji} et al., J. Noncommut. Geom. 4, No. 1, 83--124 (2010; Zbl 1192.46066)], can be removed without affecting the main results of that paper. The result is a Burghelea-type description of the summands \(\mathrm{HH}_\ast^t(\mathcal H_{\mathcal B,L}(G))_{\langle x\rangle}\) and \(\mathrm{HC}_\ast^t(\mathcal H_{\mathcal B,L}(G))_{\langle x\rangle}\) for any bounding class \(\mathcal B\), discrete group with word-length \((G,L)\) and conjugacy class \(\langle x\rangle\in \langle G\rangle\). We use this description to prove the conjecture \(\mathcal B\)-SrBC of [loc. cit.] for a class of groups that goes well beyond the cases considered in that paper. In particular, we show that the conjecture \(\ell^1\)-SrBC (the Strong Bass Conjecture for the topological K-theory of \(\ell^1(G))\) is true for all semihyperbolic groups which satisfy SrBC, a statement consistent with the rationalized Bost conjecture for such groups.
