The rational HK-conjecture: transformation groupoids and a revised version

Abstract

We prove the rational HK-conjecture for a large class of transformation groupoids in the case when the relevant action has torsion-free stabilizers. A revised version of the rational HK-conjecture in the case of (possibly) torsion stabilizers is introduced and proved for a large class of transformation groupoids. In particular, this revised version holds for Scarparo's counterexamples to the original rational HK-conjecture. The key tools used are the Baum-Connes conjecture and a Chern character defined by Raven.
