Burghelea conjecture and asymptotic dimension of groups

From MaRDI portal
Publication:5115620




Abstract: We review the Burghelea conjecture, which constitutes a full computation of the periodic cyclic homology of complex group rings, and its relation to the algebraic Baum-Connes conjecture. The Burghelea conjecture implies the Bass conjecture. We state two conjectures about groups of finite asymptotic dimension, which together imply the Burghelea conjecture for such groups. We prove both conjectures for many classes of groups. It is known that the Burghelea conjecture does not hold for all groups, although no finitely presentable counter-example was known. We construct a finitely presentable (even type Finfty) counter-example based on Thompson's group F. We construct as well a finitely generated counter-example with finite decomposition complexity.
