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 $ngeq2$.
