Title: Acyclic Chain Complexes over the Orbit Category Authors: Ian Hambleton and Erg\"un Yal\c c\i n Address 1: Department of Mathematics, McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario L8S 4K1, Canada Address 2: Department of Mathematics, Bilkent University, 06800 Bilkent, Ankara, Turkey Abstract: Chain complexes of finitely generated free modules over orbit categories provide natural algebraic models for finite $G$-CW-complexes with prescribed isotropy. We prove a $p$-hypoelementary Dress induction theorem for $K$-theory over the orbit category, and use it to re-interpret some results of Oliver and Kropholler-Wall on acyclic complexes.
