The problem of whether the F-cohomological dimension is subadditive is reduced to extensions by groups of prime order. We show that every finitely generated regular branch group has infinite rational cohomological dimension. Moreover, we prove that the first Grigorchuk group G is not contained in Kropholler's class HF .", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2011-09-03T17:40:30.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "proper actions", "cohomological invariants", "classifying space", "finitely generated regular branch group", "infinite rational cohomological dimension" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2011arXiv1106.3022G" } } }
