The $L^2$-Torsion Polytope of Amenable Groups
Documenta mathematica, Tome 23 (2018), pp. 1969-1993
We introduce the notion of groups of polytope class and show that torsion-free amenable groups satisfying the Atiyah Conjecture possess this property. A direct consequence is the homotopy invariance of the L2-torsion polytope among G-CW-complexes for these groups. As another application we prove that the L2-torsion polytope of an amenable group vanishes provided that it contains a non-abelian elementary amenable normal subgroup.
