Abstract: Let $F$ be a finite group. We consider the lamplighter group $L=FwrmathbbZ$ over $F$. We prove that $L$ has a classifying space for proper actions $underlineEL$ which is a complex of dimension two. We use this to give an explicit proof of the Baum-Connes conjecture (without coefficients), that states that the assembly map $m{u}_i^L:K_i^L(underlineEL)ightarrow{K}_i(C^{\ast }L);(i=0,1)$ is an isomorphism. Actually, $K_0(C^{\ast }L)$ is free abelian of countable rank, with an explicit basis consisting of projections in $C^{\ast }L$, while $K_1(C^{\ast }L)$ is infinite cyclic, generated by the unitary of $C^{\ast }L$ implementing the shift. Finally we show that, for $F$ abelian, the $C^{\ast }$-algebra $C^{\ast }L$ is completely characterized by $|F|$ up to isomorphism.
