We prove the existence of a close connection between spaces with measured walls and median metric spaces. We then relate properties (T) and Haagerup (a-T-menability) to actions on median spaces and on spaces with measured walls. This allows…

We survey the recent developments concerning fixed point properties for group actions on Banach spaces. In the setting of Hilbert spaces such fixed point properties correspond to Kazhdan's property (T). Here we focus on the general,…

The aim of the article is to provide a characterization of Kazhdan's property (T) for locally compact, second countable pairs of groups $H\subset G$ in terms of actions on infinite, $\sigma$-finite measure spaces. It is inspired by the…

We extend the Delorme-Guichardet characterization of Kazhdan property $T$ groups to $r$-discrete measured groupoids. We give several applications, in particular to stability results of Kazhdan property $T$ and to the study of cocycles…

We introduce a notion of topological property (T) for \'etale groupoids. This simultaneously generalizes Kazhdan's property (T) for groups and geometric property (T) for coarse spaces. One main goal is to use this property (T) to prove the…

We look at group actions on metric spaces, particularly at group actions on geodesic hyperbolic spaces. We classify the types of automorphisms on these spaces and prove several results about the density of the hyperbolic limit set of the…

We study Bowditch's notion of a coarse median on a metric space and formally introduce the concept of a coarse median structure as an equivalence class of coarse medians up to closeness. We show that a group which possesses a uniformly…

We study several properties of expansive group actions on metric spaces and obtain relation between expansivity for subgroup and group actions. Through counter examples necessity of hypothesis are justified. We also study expansivity of…

We generalize the box and observable distances to those between metric measure spaces with group actions, and prove some fundamental properties. As an application, we obtain an example of a sequence of lens spaces with unbounded dimension…

D. A. Kahzdan first put forth property (T) in relation to the study of discrete subgroups of Lie groups of finite co-volume. Through a combinatorial approach, we define an analogue of property (T) for regular graphs. We then prove the basic…

In this survey article, we present some panorama of groups acting on metric spaces of non-positive curvature. We introduce the main examples and their rigidity properties , we show the links between algebraic or analytic properties of the…

We show that a group with Kazhdan's property $(T)$ has property $(T_{B})$ for $B$ the Haagerup non-commutative $L_{p}(\mathcal{M})$-space associated with a von Neumann algebra $\mathcal{M}$, $1

We prove a version of the Tits alternative for groups acting on complete, finite rank median spaces. This shows that group actions on finite rank median spaces are much more restricted than actions on general median spaces. Along the way,…

We organize fundamental properties of quasi-Hamiltonian spaces on which a finite group acts, and we apply them to the theory of moduli spaces of flat connections on an oriented compact surface with boundary.

In this series of papers, we study correspondence between the following: (1) large scale structure of the metric space bigsqcup_m {Cay(G(m))} consisting of Cayley graphs of finite groups with k generators; (2) structure of groups which…

We characterise Geometric Property (T) by the existence of a certain projection in the maximal uniform Roe algebra $C_{u,\max}^*(X)$, extending the notion of Kazhdan projection for groups to the realm of metric spaces. We also describe this…

In this paper, from the viewpoint of the concentration theory of maps, we study a compact group and a L\'{e}vy group action to a large class of metric spaces, such as R-trees, doubling spaces, metric graphs, and Hadamard manifolds.

In this paper we show that the fibred coarse embeddability of a warped cone implies the Haagerup property of the appropriate group. Moreover, Kazhdan's property (T) of the group implies geometric property (T) of the warped cone.

In this paper by using of generalized groups and their generalized actions, we define and study the notion of $T$-spaces. Moreover, we study properties of the quotient space of a $T$-space and we present the conditions that imply to the…

A group with a geometric action on some hyperbolic space is necessarily word hyperbolic, but on the other hand every countable group acts (metrically) properly by isometries on a locally finite hyperbolic graph. In this paper we consider…
