Abstract: We introduce higher-dimensional analogs of Kazhdan projections in matrix algebras over group $C^{\ast }$-algebras and Roe algebras. These projections are constructed in the framework of cohomology with coefficients in unitary representations and in certain cases give rise to non-trivial $K$-theory classes. We apply the higher Kazhdan projections to establish a relation between $el{l}_2$-Betti numbers of a group and surjectivity of different Baum-Connes type assembly maps.

Summary: We introduce higher-dimensional analogs of Kazhdan projections in matrix algebras over group \(C^{\ast}\)-algebras and Roe algebras. These projections are constructed in the framework of cohomology with coefficients in unitary representations and in certain cases give rise to non-trivial \(K\)-theory classes. We apply the higher Kazhdan projections to establish a relation between \(\ell_2\)-Betti numbers of a group and surjectivity of different Baum-Connes type assembly maps.
