Kazhdan constants of group extensions

Group Theory 2010-07-27 v2 Combinatorics

Abstract

We give bounds on Kazhdan constants of abelian extensions of (finite) groups. As a corollary, we improved known results of Kazhdan constants for some meta-abelian groups and for the relatively free group in the variety of pp-groups of lower pp-series of class 2. Furthermore, we calculate Kazhdan constants of the tame automorphism groups of the free nilpotent groups.
