This is a survey of methods of proving or disproving the Rapid Decay property in groups. We present a centroid property of group actions on metric spaces. That property is a generalized (and corrected) version of the property (**)-relative…

We explain some simple methods to establish the property of Rapid Decay for a number of groups arising geometrically. We also give new examples of groups with the property of Rapid Decay. In particular we establish the property of Rapid…

Let $T_1, T_2$ be regular trees of degrees $d_1, d_2 \geq 3$. Let also $\Gamma \leq \mathrm{Aut}(T_1) \times \mathrm{Aut}(T_2)$ be a group acting freely and transitively on $VT_1 \times VT_2$. For $i=1$ and $2$, assume that the local action…

We study \emph{property RD} in terms of rapid decay of matrix coefficients. We give new formulations of property RD in terms of a $L^{1}$-integra\-bility condition of a Banach representation. Combining this new definition with the existence…

Let Gamma be a discrete group satisfying the rapid decay property with respect to a length function which is conditionally negative. Then the reduced C*-algebra of Gamma has the metric approximation property. The central point of our proof…

We consider bicrossed products obtained by twisting compact semi-direct products by a suitable finite subgroup. Under some restriction, we give a practical criterion for the discrete dual of such bicrossed products to have the rapid decay…

We introduce a notion of the Rapid Decay Property (RDP) for Fell bundles over locally compact Hausdorff \'etale groupoids, extending earlier rapid decay theories for \'etale groupoids and twists. Our approach yields analytic control on…

We prove that the rapid decay property (RD) of groups is preserved by graph products defined on finite simplicial graphs.

We apply V. Lafforgue's techniques to establish the rapid decay property for cocompact lattices in a finite product of rank one Lie groups with Lie groups whose restricted root system is of type A2.

In the article we settle down the problem of permanence of property RD under group extensions. We show that if $1\to N\to G\to Q\to 1$ is a short exact sequence of compactly generated groups such that $Q$ has property RD, and $N$ has…

This work concerns a generalization of property (RD) from discrete groups to twisted \'etale groupoids equipped with a length function. We show that, under the assumption that the \'etale groupoid is principal, twisted property (RD) is…

We generalize the notion of rapid decay property for a group $G$ to pairs of groups $(G,H)$ where $H$ is a finitely generated subgroup of $G$, where typically the subgroup $H$ does not have rapid decay. We deduce some isomorphisms in…

Let $\Gamma$ be an irreducible lattice in a semisimple Lie group of real rank at least $2$. Suppose that $\Gamma$ has property (T;FD), that is, its finite dimensional representations have a uniform spectral gap. We show that if $\Gamma$ is…

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…

The fundamental group of a closed irreducible 3-dimensional manifold has the Rapid Decay property if and only if it is not virtually Sol. This is proved by studying distortion of length functions in graphs of groups, and the stability of…

Let $\Gamma$ be a weakly irreducible higher rank lattice. In this paper, we will prove various rigidity results for the $\Gamma$-action following a philosophy of the Zimmer program. We provide new rigidity results including local and global…

In this note, we first study the notion of subexponential decay (SD) for countable groups with respect to a length function, which generalizes the well-known rapid decay (RD) property, first discovered by Haagerup in 1979. Several natural…

Relative property (T) has recently been used to construct a variety of new rigidity phenomena, for example in von Neumann algebras and the study of orbit-equivalence relations. However, until recently there were few examples of group pairs…

Finite rank median spaces are a simultaneous generalisation of finite dimensional ${\rm CAT}(0)$ cube complexes and real trees. If $\Gamma$ is an irreducible lattice in a product of rank one simple Lie groups, we show that every action of…

A finitely generated group $\G$ equipped with a word-length is said to satisfy property RD if there are $C, s\geq 0$ such that, for all non-negative integers $n$, we have $\|a\|\leq C (1+n)^s \|a\|_2$ whenever $a\in\C\G$ is supported on…
