title: On the lower nil-groups of Waldhausen
review text: Let \(\Gamma= \Gamma_0 *_G \Gamma_1\) be an amalgamated free product, where \(G\) is a finitely generated central subgroup of \(\Gamma_0\) and \(\Gamma_1\). The authors of this paper prove that the negative Waldhausen nil-groups that appear in the calculation of the \(K\)-theory of \({\mathbb Z}\Gamma\) vanish. Some applications are obtained for the vanishing conjecture of lower \(K\)-groups. The methods developed in this paper also work for HNN-extensions of groups.
