The Segal conjecture for infinite discrete groups

Wolfgang Lück

Algebraic & Geometric Topology 20 (2020) 965–986
Abstract

We formulate and prove a version of the Segal conjecture for infinite groups. For finite groups it reduces to the original version. The condition that G is finite is replaced in our setting by the assumption that there exists a finite model for the classifying space E ¯G for proper actions. This assumption is satisfied for instance for word hyperbolic groups or cocompact discrete subgroups of Lie groups with finitely many path components. As a consequence we get for such groups G that the zeroth stable cohomotopy of the classifying space BG is isomorphic to the I–adic completion of the ring given by the zeroth equivariant stable cohomotopy of E¯G for I the augmentation ideal.
