A. Adem et M. Karoubi, PERIODIC CYCLIC COHOMOLOGY OF GROUP-RINGS, Comptes rendus de l'Academie des sciences. Serie 1, Mathematique, 326(1), 1998, pp. 13-17
We generalize previous results ([2], [3], [4], etc.) relative to the c
yclic homology and cohomology of the group algebra of G. In many cases
, we express them in terms of the (co)homology of the discrete groups
(Z) over bar(u) = Z(u)/C(u), where < u > runs through the set of conju
gacy classes of G and where Z(u) (resp. C(u)) denotes the centralizer
of u (resp. the cyclic group generated by u).
