Equivariant vector bundles over classifying spaces for proper actions
Abstract
Let be an infinite discrete group and let be a classifying space for proper actions of . Every -equivariant vector bundle over gives rise to a compatible collection of representations of the finite subgroups of . We give the first examples of groups with a cocompact classifying space for proper actions admitting a compatible collection of representations of the finite subgroups of that does not come from a -equivariant (virtual) vector bundle over . This implies that the Atiyah-Hirzeburch spectral sequence computing the -equivariant topological -theory of has non-zero differentials. On the other hand, we show that for right angled Coxeter groups this spectral sequence always collapes at the second page and compute the -theory of the classifying space of a right angled Coxeter group.
