Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

We prove that there are examples of finitely generated groups Γ together with group ring elements Q∈QΓ for which the von Neumann dimension dim_LΓ ker Q is irrational, thus (in conjunction with other known results) answering a question of Atiyah.
