From Acyclic Groups to the Bass Conjecture for Amenable Groups
We prove that the Bost Conjecture on the `-assembly map for countable discrete groups implies the Bass Conjecture. It follows that all amenable groups satisfy the Bass Conjecture.
متن کاملThe Strong Approximation Conjecture holds for amenable groups
Let G be a finitely generated group and G⊲G1⊲G2⊲. . . be normal subgroups such that ∩k=1Gk = {1}. Let A ∈ Mat d×d(CG) and Ak ∈ Mat d×d(C(G/Gk)) be the images of A under the maps induced by the epimorphisms G → G/Gk. According to the strong form of the Approximation Conjecture of Lück [4] dimG(ker A) = lim k→∞ dimG/Gk(ker Ak) , where dimG denotes the von Neumann dimension. In [2] Dodziuk, Linnel...
متن کاملAmenable Groups
Throughout we let Γ be a discrete group. For f : Γ → C and each s ∈ Γ we define the left translation action by (s.f)(t) = f(s−1t). Definition 1.1. A group Γ is amenable is there exists a state μ on l∞(Γ) which is invariant under the left translation action: for all s ∈ Γ and f ∈ l∞(Γ), μ(s.f) = μ(f). Example 1.2. Finite groups are amenable: take the state which sends χ{s} to 1 |Γ| for each s ∈ ...
متن کاملPointwise Theorems for Amenable Groups
In this paper we describe proofs of the pointwise ergodic theorem and Shannon-McMillan-Breiman theorem for discrete amenable groups, along Følner sequences that obey some restrictions. These restrictions are mild enough so that such sequences exist for all amenable groups.
متن کاملAre Unitarizable Groups Amenable?
We give a new formulation of some of our recent results on the following problem: if all uniformly bounded representations on a discrete group G are similar to unitary ones, is the group amenable? In §5, we give a new proof of Haagerup's theorem that, on non-commutative free groups, there are Herz-Schur multipliers that are not coefficients of uniformly bounded representations. We actually prov...
