A sixteen-relator presentation of an infinite hyperbolic Kazhdan group

Group Theory 2017-09-01 v1

Abstract

We provide an explicit presentation of an infinite hyperbolic Kazhdan group with 44 generators and 1616 relators of length at most 7373. That group acts properly and cocompactly on a hyperbolic triangle building of type (3,4,4)(3,4,4). We also point out a variation of the construction that yields examples of lattices in A~2\tilde A_2-buildings admitting non-Desarguesian residues of arbitrary prime power order.
