Equivariant covers for hyperbolic groups

Arthur Bartels, Wolfgang Lück and Holger Reich

Geometry & Topology 12 (2008) 1799–1882
Abstract

We prove an equivariant version of the fact that word-hyperbolic groups have finite asymptotic dimension. This is important in connection with our forthcoming proof of the Farrell–Jones conjecture for K(RG) for every word-hyperbolic group G and every coefficient ring R.

Keywords
equivariant, hyperbolic groups, flow spaces, asymptotic dimension
