l^p-cohomology for groups of type FP_n

Functional Analysis 2007-05-23 v2 Group Theory

Abstract

Let G be a group of type FP_n and let p>1. In this paper we show that the reduced l^p-homology of G is dual to the reduced l^q-cohomology for \frac{1}{p}+\frac{1}{q}=1. In our main theorem we show that for a group of type FP_n with a central element of infinite order the reduced l^p-cohomology vanishes. We generalize this fact for groups with infinitely many elements in the center of the group, for groups which are FCC, for groups with infinitely many finite conjugacy classes, for nilpotent groups, and for groups of polynomial growth.
