We review the Burghelea conjecture, which constitutes a full computation of the periodic cyclic homology of complex group rings, and its relation to the algebraic Baum–Connes conjecture. The Burghelea conjecture implies the Bass conjecture. We state two conjectures about groups of finite asymptotic dimension, which together imply the Burghelea conjecture for such groups. We prove both conjectures for many classes of groups. It is known that the Burghelea conjecture does not hold for all groups, although no finitely presentable counterexample was known. We construct a finitely presentable (even type [Formula: see text]) counterexample based on Thompson’s group [Formula: see text]. We construct as well a finitely generated counterexample with finite decomposition complexity.

Abstract We supply an argument that was missing from the proof of the main result of the article “Finite decomposition complexity and the integral Novikov conjecture for higher algebraic K-theory” [7]. The argument is essentially formal, and does not affect the strategy of the proof.

This paper is devoted to dualization of paracompactness to the coarse category via the concept of $R$-disjointness. Property A of Yu can be seen as a coarse variant of amenability via partitions of unity and leads to a dualization of paracompactness via partitions of unity. On the other hand, finite decomposition complexity of Guentner, Tessera, and Yu and straight finite decomposition complexity of Dranishnikov and Zarichnyi employ $R$-disjointness as the main concept. We generalize both concepts to that of countable asymptotic dimension and our main result shows that it is a subclass of spaces with Property A. In addition, it gives a necessary and sufficient condition for spaces of countable asymptotic dimension to be of finite asymptotic dimension.
