In this article we deduce some algebraic properties for the group $\mathrm{Sp}_{2n} (\mathcal{O}(X))$ of holomorphic symplectic matrices on a Stein space $X$: holomorphic factorization, exponential factorization, and Kazhdan's property (T).…

D. Kazhdan has introduced in 1967 the Property (T) for local compact groups. In this article we prove that for $n\geq 3$ and $m \in \mathbb{N}$ the group $SL_n(\textbf{K})\ltimes \mathcal{M}_{n,m}(\textbf{K})$ is a Kazhdan group having the…

We establish a new spectral criterion for Kazhdan's property $(T)$ which is applicable to a large class of discrete groups defined by generators and relations. As the main application, we prove property $(T)$ for the groups $EL_n(R)$, where…

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

The well-known theorem of Shalom--Vaserstein and Ershov--Jaikin-Zapirain states that the group $\mathrm{EL}_n(\mathcal{R})$, generated by elementary matrices over a finitely generated commutative ring $\mathcal{R}$, has Kazhdan's property…

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 prove that, for the free algebra over a sufficiently rich operad, a large subgroup of its group of tame automorphisms has Kazhdan's property (T). We deduce that there exists a group with property (T) that maps onto large powers of…

Let p be a real number with 1<p and different from 2. We study Property (T_lp) for a second countable locally compact group G. Property (T_lp) is a weak version of Kazhdan's Property (T), defined in terms of the orthogonal representations…

It is well-known that a finitely generated group $\Gamma$ has Kazhdan's property (T) if and only if the Laplacian element $\Delta$ in ${\mathbb R}[\Gamma]$ has a spectral gap. In this paper, we prove that this phenomenon is witnessed in…

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…

For locally compact groups amenability and Kazhdan's property (T) are mutually exclusive in the sense that a group having both properties is compact. This is no longer true for more general Polish groups. However, a weaker result still…

Kazhdan's property (T) has been studied for several discrete group-like structures, including standard invariants of Jones' subfactors and discrete quantum groups. We prove a Zuk-type spectral gap criterion for property (T) in this setting.…

We perform a systematic investigation of Kazhdan's relative Property (T) for pairs (G,X), where G a locally compact group and X is any subset. When G is a connected Lie group or a p-adic algebraic group, we provide an explicit…

We study Property (T) for locally compact quantum groups, providing several new characterisations, especially related to operator algebraic ergodic theory. Quantum Property (T) is described in terms of the existence of various Kazhdan type…

For every $c\geq 1$, we define a strengthening of Kazhdan's Property (T) by considering uniformly bounded representations $\pi$ with fixed bound $|\pi|\leq c$. We carry out a systematic study of this property and show that it can be…

We give a partial solution to a long-standing open problem in the theory of quantum groups, namely we prove that all finite-dimensional representations of a wide class of locally compact quantum groups factor through matrix quantum groups…

As a strengthening of Kazhdan's property (T) for locally compact groups, property (TT) was introduced by Burger and Monod. In this paper, we add more rigidity and introduce property (TTT). This property is suited for the study of rigidity…

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 show that the automorphism group of a graph product of finite groups $Aut(G_\Gamma)$ has Kazhdan's property (T) if and only if $\Gamma$ is a complete graph.

For each countable group $Q$ we produce a short exact sequence $1\to N \to G \to Q\to 1$ where $G$ is f.g. and has a graphical $\frac16$ presentation and $N$ is f.g. and satisfies property $T$. As a consequence we produce a group $N$ with…
