Algebraic K-theory over the infinite dihedral group: an algebraic approach

K-Theory and Homology 2016-05-18 v4 Algebraic Topology

Abstract

We prove that the Waldhausen nilpotent class group of an injective index 2 amalgamated free product is isomorphic to the Farrell-Bass nilpotent class group of a twisted polynomial extension. As an application, we show that the Farrell-Jones Conjecture in algebraic K-theory can be sharpened from the family of virtually cyclic subgroups to the family of finite-by-cyclic subgroups.
