  • An Eilenberg-Ganea Phenomenon for Actions with Virtually Cyclic Stabilisers
    arXiv: Group Theory, 2012
    Co-Authors: Martin Fluch, Ian J. Leary
    Abstract:

    In Dimension 3 and above, Bredon cohomology gives an acurate purely algebraic description of the Minimal Dimension of the classifying space for actions of a group with stabilisers in any given family of subgroups. For some Coxeter groups and the family of virtually cyclic subgroups we show that the Bredon cohomological Dimension is 2 while the Bredon geometric Dimension is 3.

  • On Algebraic and Geometric Dimensions for Groups with Torsion
    Journal of the London Mathematical Society, 2001
    Co-Authors: Noel Brady, Ian J. Leary, Brita E. A. Nucinkis
    Abstract:

    We argue that the geometric Dimension of a discrete group G ought to be defined to be the Minimal Dimension of a model for the universal proper G-space rather than the Minimal Dimension of a model for the universal free G-space. For torsion-free groups, these two quantities are equal, but the new quantity can be finite for groups containing torsion whereas the old one cannot. There is an analogue of cohomological Dimension (defined in terms of Bredon cohomology) for which analogues of the Eilenberg-Ganea and Stalling-Swan theorems (due to W. Lueck and M. J. Dunwoody respectively) hold. We show that some groups constructed by M. Bestvina and M. Davis provide counterexamples to the analogue of the Eilenberg-Ganea conjecture.
