Abstract
Let Γ be a torsion-free cocompact lattice in Aut(T1) × Aut(T2),
where T1, T2 are trees whose vertices all have degree at least three.
The group H2(Γ, Z) is determined explicitly in terms of an associated
2-dimensional tiling system.
It follows that under appropriate conditions the crossed product C*-algebra A associated with the action of Γ on the boundary of T1×T2 satisfies rank K0(A) = 2⋅rank H2(Γ, Z).
