Abstract:
The Farrell-Jones Conjecture identifies the algebraic K- and L-groups for group rings with certain equivariant homology groups. We will give some details of its formulation, its status and indicate some ideas of proofs for certain classes of groups. We will try to convince the audience about its significance by considering special cases and presenting the surprizing large range of its applications to prominent problems in topology, geometry, and group theory.
