Under the Strong Atiyah Conjecture and vanishing b1^(2), L2-Betti numbers of character kernels define a polytope-induced Thurston seminorm on H^1(G;R), with combinatorial splitting-complexity interpretations for free-by-cyclic and admissible 3-manifold groups.
Establishes Strong Atiyah Conjecture for finite-index torsion-free subgroups of Out(G) when G is a surface group, free group or RAAG, implying discrete von Neumann dimensions and Zero Divisor Conjecture for the group algebras.
