The Farrell–Jones Fibered Isomorphism Conjecture for the
stable topological pseudoisotopy theory has been proved for several classes of
groups. For example, for discrete sub
groups of Lie
groups [F.T. Farrell, L.E. Jones, Isomorphism conjectures in algebraic
K-theory, J. Amer. Math. Soc. 6 (1993) 249–297], virtually poly-infinite cyclic
groups [F.T. Farrell, L.E. Jones, Isomorphism conjectures in algebraic
K-theory, J. Amer. Math. Soc. 6 (1993) 249–297], Artin
braid groups [F.T. Farrell, S.K. Roushon, The Whitehead
groups of
braid groups vanish, Internat. Math. Res. Notices 10 (2000) 515–526], a class of virtually poly-surface
groups [S.K. Roushon, The isomorphism conjecture for 3-manifold
groups and
K-theory of virtually poly-surface
groups, math.KT/0408243,
K-Theory, in press] and virtually solvable linear
group [F.T. Farrell, P.A. Linnell,
K-Theory of solvable
groups, Proc. London Math. Soc. (3) 87 (2003) 309–336]. We extend these results in the sense that if
G is a
group from the above classes then we prove the conjecture for the wreath product
GH for H a finite group. The need for this kind of extension is already evident in [F.T. Farrell, S.K. Roushon, The Whitehead groups of braid groups vanish, Internat. Math. Res. Notices 10 (2000) 515–526; S.K. Roushon, The Farrell–Jones isomorphism conjecture for 3-manifold groups, math.KT/0405211, K-Theory, in press; S.K. Roushon, The isomorphism conjecture for 3-manifold groups and K-theory of virtually poly-surface groups, math.KT/0408243, K-Theory, in press]. We also prove the conjecture for some other classes of groups.
