Approximating Novikov-Shubin numbers of virtually cyclic coverings

Abstract

We assign real numbers to finite sheeted coverings of compact CW complexes designed as finite counterparts to the Novikov-Shubin numbers. We prove an approximation theorem in the case of virtually cyclic fundamental groups employing methods from Diophantine approximation.
