We show that a random group $\Gamma$ in the triangular binomial model $\Gamma(n, p)$ is a.a.s. not left-orderable for $p\in(cn^{-2}, n^{-3/2-\varepsilon})$, where $c, \varepsilon$ are any constants satisfying $\varepsilon>0$,…

The random triangular group \Gamma(n,t) is a group given by a presentation P=<S|R>, where S is a set of n generators and R is a random set of t cyclically reduced words of length three. The asymptotic behavior of \Gamma(n,t) is in some…

The random triangular group $\Gamma(n,p)$ is the group given by a random group presentation with $n$ generators in which every relator of length three is present independently with probability $p$. We show that in the evolution of…

Let $Y(n, p)$ denote the probability space of random 2-dimensional simplicial complexes in the Linial--Meshulam model, and let $Y \sim Y(n, p)$ denote a random complex chosen according to this distribution. In a paper of Cohen, Costa,…

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…

We study Property (T) in the $\Gamma(n,k,d)$ model of random groups: as $k$ tends to infinity this gives the Gromov density model, introduced in [Gro93]. We provide bounds for Property (T) in the $k$-angular model of random groups, i.e. the…

Let $G$ be a subgroup of a discrete (countable) group $\Gamma$. We introduce a notion of relative inner amenability of $G$ in $\Gamma$, we prove some equivalent conditions and provide examples as well as counter-examples. We also discuss…

Let \Gamma be a finitely presentable pro-p group with a nontrivial finitely generated closed normal subgroup N of infinite index. Then def(\Gamma)\leq 1, and if def(\Gamma)=1 then \Gamma is a pro-p duality group of dimension 2, N is a free…

The $k$-gonal models of random groups are defined as the quotients of free groups on $n$ generators by cyclically reduced words of length $k$. As $k$ tends to infinity, this model approaches the Gromov density model. In this paper we show…

Let $(X, \Gamma)$ be a free and minimal topological dynamical system, where $X$ is a separable compact Hausdorff space and $\Gamma$ is a countable infinite discrete amenable group. It is shown that if $(X, \Gamma)$ has the Uniform Rokhlin…

We prove that a C$^*$-algebra $A$ has uniform property $\Gamma$ if the set of extremal tracial states, $\partial_e T(A)$, is a non-empty compact space of finite covering dimension and for each $\tau \in \partial_e T(A)$, the von Neumann…

Let $X$ be an $n$-dimensional simply connected manifold of pinched sectional curvature $-a^2 \leq K \leq -1$. There exist a positive constant $C(n,a)$ such that for any finitely generated discrete group $\Gamma$ acting on $X$, then either…

We provide a full and rigorous proof of a theorem attributed to \.Zuk, stating that random groups in the Gromov density model for d > 1/3 have property (T) with high probability. The original paper had numerous gaps, in particular, crucial…

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 $p$-groups of…

We study two global structural properties of a graph $\Gamma$, denoted AS and CFS, which arise in a natural way from geometric group theory. We study these properties in the Erd\"os--R\'enyi random graph model G(n,p), proving a sharp…

We prove that |A^n| > c_n |A|^{[\frac{n+1}{2}]} for any finite subset A of a free group if A contains at least two noncommuting elements, where c_n>0 are constants not depending on A. Simple examples show that the order of these estimates…

We prove that random groups in the Gromov density model at density d <1/4 do not have Property (T), answering a conjecture of Przytycki. We also prove similar results in the k-angular model of random groups.

We define a notion of Property (T) for an arbitrary $C^*$-algebra $A$ admitting a tracial state. We extend this to a notion of Property (T) for the pair $(A,B),$ where $B$ is a $C^*$-subalgebra of $A.$ Let $\Gamma$ be a discrete group and…

Let $H$ be a proper subgroup of a discrete group $G$. We introduce a notion of relative inner amenability of $H$ in $G$, we prove some equivalent conditions and provide examples as well as counter-examples. We also discuss the corresponding…

A countable discrete group $\Gamma$ is said to have the relative ISR-property if for every non-trivial normal subgroup $N\trianglelefteq\Gamma$ and every von Neumann subalgebra $\mathcal{M}\subseteq L(\Gamma)$ invariant under conjugation by…
