Let \(\Gamma\) denote a discrete group of finite virtual cohomological dimension and let \(B\Gamma\) be its classifying space; in this note the author defines a representation ring determined on the elements of finite order in \(\Gamma\) and he shows that for a large class of groups this ring is of finite rank. Using the results obtained previously by the author [Math. Ann. 292, 319- 327 (1992; Zbl 0761.55012)], he also gives a characterization of topological \(K\)-theory \(K^*(B\Gamma)\), in terms of these representations. All the proofs are in sketch.
