Abstract
Given a group G, the \(K\)-theoretic fibred isomorphism conjecture of F. T. Farrell and L. E. Jones asserts that the algebraic \(K\)-theory of its integral group ring \(\mathbb Z[G]\) may be computed from the knowledge of the algebraic \(K\)-theory groups of its virtually cyclic subgroups (see or Appendix A for the statement).
