Appendix: Twisted Rapid Decay by Indira Chatterji, Department of Mathematics, Cornell University, Ithaca NY 14853, USA. email: Throughout this appendix, ? is a finitely generated group, endowed with a length function , and ? is a multiplier on ?. We adopt the notations used in the first paragraph of the paper. Definition 0.1. We will say that the group ? has ?-twisted Rapid Decay property (with respect to the length ) if H∞ (?, ?) ? C ? r (?, ?). We just say that the group ? has the Rapid Decay property (with respect to the length ), if it has the ?-twisted Rapid Decay property (with respect to the length ) for the constant multiplier 1. For short, we shall say that a group ? has property ?-RD if there esists a length function with respect to which ? has the ?-twisted Rapid Decay property. Remark 0.2. In the context of noncommutative geometry, the reduced C?-algebra C?r (?, ?) represents the space of continuous functions on a noncommutative mani- fold, and H∞ (?, ?) the space of of smooth functions on the same noncommutative manifold. This comes from the abelian case, where using Fourier transforms, one easily sees that C?r (Z n) ?= C(Tn) and that H∞ (Z n) ?= C∞(Tn) (for the word length associated to the generating set S

The (σ-twisted) Rapid Decay property can be rephrased as the desirable property that every smooth function on the noncommutative manifold is also a continuous function. Proposition 0.3.Letσbe a multiplier onΓand`be a length function onΓ. The following are equivalent: (1) Γhasσ-twisted Rapid Decay (with respect to the length`).
