On dimensions in Bredon homology
We define a homological and cohomological dimension of groups in the context of Bredon homology and compare the two quantities. We apply this to describe the Bredon-homological dimension of nilpotent groups in terms of the Hirsch-rank. In particular this implies that for virtually torsion-free nilpotent groups the Bredon cohomological dimension is equal to the virtual cohomological dimension.

Abstract

We define a homological and cohomological dimension of groups in the context of Bredon homology and compare the two quantities. We apply this to describe the Bredon-homological dimension of nilpotent groups in terms of the Hirsch-rank. In particular this implies that for virtually torsion-free nilpotent groups the Bredon cohomological dimension is equal to the virtual cohomological dimension.
