The Farrell-Hsiang method revisited

Geometric Topology 2011-11-10 v3

Abstract

We present a sufficient condition for groups to satisfy the Farrell-Jones Conjecture in algebraic K-theory and L-theory. The condition is formulated in terms of finite quotients of the group in question and is motivated by work of Farrell-Hsiang.
