Abstract

For a given group $G$ , Wolfgang Lück asked whether twisting a chain complex of finitely generated free $C [G]$ -modules with a finite-dimensional complex representation $V$ of $G$ before passing to the $L^{2}$ -completion has no other effect on $L^{2}$ -Betti numbers than a scaling by the factor ${dim}_{C} V$ . The purpose of the article is to answer this question affirmatively provided $G$ is sofic.
