Property (T) in $k$-gonal random groups

Abstract

The kk-gonal models of random groups are defined as the quotients of free groups on nn generators by cyclically reduced words of length kk. As kk tends to infinity, this model approaches the Gromov density model. In this paper we show that for any fixed d0(0,1)d_0 \in (0, 1), if positive kk-gonal random groups satisfy Property (T) with overwhelming probability for densities d>d0d >d_0, then so do nknk-gonal random groups, for any nNn \in \mathbb{N}. In particular, this shows that for densities above 1/3, groups in 3k3k-gonal models satisfy Property (T) with probability 1 as nn approaches infinity.
