Abstract: Let $V_r(Sigma)$ be the generalised Thompson group defined as the automorphism group of a valid, bounded, and complete Cantor algebra. We show that that for every $n>0$ there is a $k>n,$ such that there exists a $k$-dimensional $n$-connected simplicial complex $K$ such that $V_r(Sigma)$ acts on $K$ with finite stabilisers. We also determine the number of conjugacy classes of finite cyclic subgroups of a given order $m$ in Brin-Thompson groups. We apply our computations to the rationalised Farrell-Jones assembly map in algebraic $K$-theory.
