Review text

[For the entire collection see Zbl 0745.00066.] This paper extends and offers a new proof of earlier work of the second author [in Banach Cent. Publ. 26, 45-53 (1990; Zbl 0727.16006)]. Specifically, let \(k\Gamma\) be the group algebra of a polycyclic-by- finite group \(\Gamma\) and let \(T(\Gamma)\) denote the set of conjugacy classes of \(\Gamma\) consisting of elements of finite order not divisible by the characteristic of \(k\). If \(R\subseteq \mathbb{Q}\) is obtained from the integers \(\mathbb{Z}\) by inverting all primes \(q\) for which \(\Gamma\) has \(q\)- torsion, then it is shown that \(G_ 0(k\Gamma) \otimes_ \mathbb{Z} R \cong R^{T(\Gamma)}\) provided \(k\) is large enough. The proof here is given in a more categorical form than the original and uses Hattori-Stallings ranks rather than ordinary or Brauer characters. The result, of course, ultimately depends on Moody's Induction Theorem [\textit{J. A. Moody}, J. Algebra 122, 1-14 (1989; Zbl 0693.16012)].
