Spaces over a Category and Assembly Maps in Isomorphism Conjectures in K‐ and L‐Theory

Abstract
We give a unified approach to the Isomorphism Conjecture of Farrell and Jones on the algebraicK-andL-theory of integral group rings and to the Baum–Connes Conjecture on the topologicalKtheory of reducedC*-algebras of groups. The approach is through spectra over the orbit category of a discrete groupG.We give several points of view on the assembly map for a family of subgroups and characterize such assembly maps by a universal property generalizing the results of Weiss and Williams to the equivariant setting. The main tools are spaces and spectra over a category and their associated generalized homology and cohomology theories, and homotopy limits.
