Abstract: We call a group FJ if it satisfies the $K$- and $L$-theoretic Farrell-Jones conjecture with coefficients in $mathbbZ$. We show that if $G$ is FJ, then the simple Borel conjecture (in dimensions $ge5$) holds for every group of the form $GtimesmathbbZ$. If in addition $Wh(GimesmathbbZ)=0$, which is true for all known torsion free FJ groups, then the bordism Borel conjecture (in dimensions $nge5$) holds for $GtimesmathbbZ$. One of the key ingredients in proving these rigidity results is another main result, which says that if a torsion free group $G$ satisfies the $L$-theoretic Farrell-Jones conjecture with coefficients in $mathbbZ$, then any semi-direct product $GtimesmathbbZ$ also satisfies the $L$-theoretic Farrell-Jones conjecture with coefficients in $mathbbZ$. Our result is indeed more general and implies the $L$-theoretic Farrell-Jones conjecture with coefficients in additive categories is closed under extensions of torsion free groups. This enables us to extend the class of groups which satisfy the Novikov conjecture.
