This is a survey on the Farrell-Jones Conjecture about the algebraic K- and L-theory of groups rings and its applications to algebra, geometry, group theory, and topology.

We describe the equivariant K-groups of a family of generalized Steinberg varieties that interpolates between the Steinberg variety of a reductive, complex algebraic group and its nilpotent cone in terms of the extended affine Hecke algebra…

These notes are based on a lecture course given by the first author in the Sedano Winter School on K-theory held in Sedano, Spain, on January 22-27th of 2007. They aim at introducing K-theory of C^*-algebras, equivariant K-homology and…

The Baum-Connes map for finitely generated free abelian groups is a K-theoretic analogue of the Fourier-Mukai transform from algebraic geometry. We describe this K-theoretic transform in the language of topological correspondences, and…

We give a new proof of the Baum--Connes conjecture with coefficients for any second countable, locally compact topological group that acts properly and cocompactly on a finite-dimensional CAT(0)-cubical space with bounded geometry. The…

This paper gives a proof of the Baum-Connes conjecture with coefficients for hyperbolic groups. More precisely the injectivity of the Baum-Connes map was established by Kasparov and Skandalis and we prove the surjectivity.

We obtain the equivariant K-homology of the classifying space \underline{E}SL(3,Z) from the computation of its Bredon homology with respect to finite subgroups and coefficients in the representation ring. We also obtain the corresponding…

We investigate base change $C/R$ at the level of $K$-theory for the general linear group $GL(n,R)$. In the course of this study, we compute in detail the $C*$-algebra $K$-theory of this disconnected group. We investigate the interaction of…

We present the status of the Farrell-Jones Conjecture for algebraic K-theory for a group G and arbitrary coefficient rings R. We add new groups for which the conjecture is known to be true and study inheritance properties. We discuss new…

These notes cover the contents of three survey lectures held at the ICTP Trieste Summer school on High dimensional manifold theory 2001. They introduce techniques coming from the theory of operator algebras. We will focus on the basic…

We introduce a new variant of the coarse Baum-Connes conjecture designed to tackle coarsely disconnected metric spaces called the boundary coarse Baum-Connes conjecture. We prove this conjecture for many coarsely disconnected spaces that…

The equivariant coarse index is well-understood and widely used for actions by discrete groups. We extend the definition of this index to general locally compact groups. We use a suitable notion of admissible modules over $C^*$-algebras of…

Building on work by Kasparov, we study the notion of Spanier-Whitehead K-duality for a discrete group. It is defined as duality in the KK-category between two C*-algebras which are naturally attached to the group, namely the reduced group…

Let G be a cocompact lattice in a virtually connected Lie group or the fundamental group of a 3-manifold. We prove the K-theoretic Farrell-Jones Conjecture (up to dimension one) and the L-theoretic Farrell-Jones Conjecture for G, where we…

We describe Universal Coefficient Theorems for the equivariant Kasparov theory for C*-algebras with an action of the group of integers or over a unique path space, using KK-valued invariants. We compare the resulting classification up to…

Let G be a discrete group. We give methods to compute for a generalized (co-)homology theory its values on the Borel construction (EG x X)/G of a proper G-CW-complex X satisfying certain finiteness conditions. In particular we give formulas…

We introduce a notion of topological property (T) for \'etale groupoids. This simultaneously generalizes Kazhdan's property (T) for groups and geometric property (T) for coarse spaces. One main goal is to use this property (T) to prove the…

The Baum-Connes conjecture predicts that a certain assembly map is an isomorphism. We identify the homotopy theoretical construction of the assembly map by Davis and L\"uck with the category theoretical construction by Meyer and Nest. This…

We study a going-down principle for {\'e}tale groupoids and its applications, extending the earlier results for locally compact groups by Chabert, Echterhoff and Oyono-Oyono, and for ample groupoids by B{\"o}nicke and by…

We prove the existence of a map of spectra $\tau_A \colon kA \to lA$ between connective topological K-theory and connective algebraic L-theory of a complex $C^*$-algebra A which is natural in A and compatible with multiplicative structures.…
