On the $K$-theory of groups of the form $\mathbb{Z}^n\rtimes \mathbb{Z}/m$ with $m$ square-free

Abstract

We provide an explicit computation of the topological $K$-theory groups $K_*(C_r^*(\mathbb{Z}^n\rtimes \mathbb{Z}/m))$ of semidirect products of the form $\mathbb{Z}^n\rtimes \mathbb{Z}Z/m$ with $m$ square-free. We want to highlight the fact that we are not impossing any conditions on the $\Z/m$-action on $\mathbb{Z}^n$. This generalizes previous computations of L\"uck-Davis and Langer-L\"uck.
