%0 Journal Article %T Novikov-Shubin invariants for arbitrary group actions and their positivity %A Wolfgang Lueck %A Holger Reich %A Thomas Schick %J Mathematics %D 1998 %I arXiv %X We extend the notion of Novikov-Shubin invariant for free G-CW-complexes of finite type to spaces with arbitrary G-actions and prove some statements about their positivity. In particular we apply this to classifying spaces of discrete groups. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/math/9809011v2
