Approximating L^2-invariants and homology growth
  In this paper we consider the asymptotic behavior of invariants such as Betti numbers, minimal numbers of generators of singular homology, the order of the torsion subgroup of singular homology, and torsion invariants. We will show that all these vanish in the limit if the CW-complex under consideration fibers in a specific way. In particular we will show that all these vanish in the limit if one considers an aspherical closed manifold which admits a non-trivial S^1-action or whose fundamental group contains an infinite normal elementary amenable subgroup. By considering classifying spaces we also get results for groups.
