Abstract: We prove that the approximation conjecture of Luck holds for all amenable groups in the complex group algebra case. This result was previously proved by Dodziuk, Linnell, Mathai, Schick and Yates under the assumption that the group is torsion-free elementary amenable.

Review text

The conjecture for torsion free elementary amenable groups was proved by \textit{J. Dodziuk, P. Linnell, V. Mathai, T. Schick} and \textit{S. Yates} [Commun. Pure Appl. Math. 56, No, 7, 839--873 (2003; Zbl 1036.58017)]. This result is extended for all amenable groups, using the quasi-tilings of \textit{D. S. Ornstein} and \textit{B. Weiss} [J. Anal. Math. 48, 1--141 (1987; Zbl 0637.28015)].
