Isomorphism Conjectures in K- and L-Theory

This monograph is devoted to the Isomorphism Conjectures formulated by Baum and Connes, and by Farrell and Jones. These conjectures are central to the study of the topological K -theory of reduced group C*-algebras and the algebraic K - and L -theory of group rings. They have far-reaching applications in algebra, geometry, group theory, operator theory, and topology.
