Recipes to compute the algebraic K-theory of Hecke algebras of reductive p-adic groups

Arthur Bartels, Wolfgang Lueck

We compute the algebraic K-theory of the Hecke algebra of a reductive p-adic group G using the fact that the Farrell-Jones Conjecture is known in this context. The main tool will b…

Manifolds homotopy equivalent to certain torus bundles over lens spaces

James F. Davis, Wolfgang Lueck

We compute the topological simple structure set of closed manifolds which occur as total spaces of flat bundles over lens spaces S^l/(Z/p) with fiber an n-dimensjional torus T^n fo…

K- and L-theory of graph products of groups

Daniel Kasprowski, Kevin Li, Wolfgang Lück

We compute the group homology, the algebraic - and -groups, and the topological -groups of right-angled Artin groups, right-angled Coxeter groups, and more generally, grap…

A vanishing theorem for tautological classes of aspherical manifolds

Fabian Hebestreit, Markus Land, Wolfgang Lück +1

Tautological classes, or generalised Miller-Morita-Mumford classes, are basic characteristic classes of smooth fibre bundles, and have recently been used to describe the rational c…

Groups and polytopes

Stefan Friedl, Wolfgang Lück, Stephan Tillmann

In a series of papers the authors associated to an -acyclic group an invariant that is a formal difference of polytopes in the vector space $H_1(Γ;\Bbb{R}…

Universal -torsion, polytopes and applications to -manifolds

Stefan Friedl, Wolfgang Lück

Given an -acyclic connected finite -complex, we define its universal -torsion in terms of the chain complex of its universal covering. It takes values in the weak Whi…

-Euler characteristics and the Thurston norm

Stefan Friedl, Wolfgang Lück

We assign to a finite -complex and an element in its first cohomology group a twisted version of the -Euler characteristic and study its main properties. In the case of an…

Nils-Edvin Enkelmann, Wolfgang Lück, Malte Pieper +2

We prove the Farrell-Jones Conjecture for (non-connective) -theory with coefficients and finite wreath products for hyperbolic groups, CAT(0)-groups, cocompact lattices in almos…

Approximately fibering a manifold over an aspherical one

Tom Farrell, Wolfgang Lueck, Wolfgang Steimle

The paper is devoted to the problem when a map from some closed connected manifold to an aspherical closed manifold approximately fibers, i.e., is homotopic to Manifold Approximate…

Peter Linnell, Wolfgang Lück

Let Wh^w(G) be the K_1-group of square matrices over the integral group ring ZG which are not necessarily invertible but induce weak isomorphisms after passing to Hilbert space com…

Splitting the relative assembly map, Nil-terms and involutions

Wolfgang Lueck, Wolfgang Steimle

We show that the relative Farrell-Jones assembly map from the family of finite subgroups to the family of virtually cyclic subgroups for algebraic K-theory is split injective in th…

The -Alexander torsion is symmetric

Jérôme Dubois, Stefan Friedl, Wolfgang Lück

We show that the -Alexander torsion of a 3-manifold is symmetric. This can be viewed as a generalization of the symmetry of the Alexander polynomial of a knot.

Three flavors of twisted invariants of knots

Jérôme Dubois, Stefan Friedl, Wolfgang Lück

The Alexander polynomial of a knot has been generalized in three different ways to give twisted invariants. The resulting invariants are usually referred to as twisted Alexander po…

The L^2-Alexander torsion of 3-manifolds

Jérôme Dubois, Stefan Friedl, Wolfgang Lück

We introduce -Alexander torsions for 3-manifolds, which can be viewed as a generalization of the -Alexander polynomial of Li--Zhang. We state the -Alexander torsions…
