Abstract: We define a notion of complexity for modules over infinite groups. We show that if M is a module over the group ring kG, and M has complexity leqf (where f is some complexity function) over some set of finite index subgroups of G, then M has complexity leqf over G (up to a direct summand). This generalizes the Alperin-Evens Theorem, which states that if the group G is finite then the complexity of M over G is the maximal complexity of M over an elementary abelian subgroup of G. We also show how we can use this generalization in order to construct projective resolutions for the integral special linear groups, , where ngeq2.
