Abstract

Using the method of averaged projections and introducing a new notion of angles between projections, we establish a criterion for a certain type of strengthening of property (T) (which is weaker than the notion of strong Banach property (T) introduced by Lafforgue). We also derive several applications regarding fixed point properties and Banach expanders and give examples of these applications.
