Finitely summable \(\gamma\)-elements for word-hyperbolic groups (Q2140255)

Summary: We present two explicit combinatorial constructions of finitely summable reduced ``Gamma''-elements \(\gamma_r\in KK(C^*_r(\Gamma),\mathbb{C})\) for any word-hyperbolic group \((\Gamma,S)\) and obtain summability bounds for them in terms of the cardinality of the generating set \(S\subset\Gamma\) and the hyperbolicity constant of the associated Cayley graph.
