This text takes, with more details and simplifying a proof in section 3, the parts of [Laf08] and [Laf09] treating p-adic groups. We prove that $SL_{3}$ over a non archimedian local field $F$ has strong Banach property (T). The applications…

We prove that a random group in the triangular density model has, for density larger than 1/3, fixed point properties for actions on $L^p$-spaces (affine isometric, and more generally $(2-2\epsilon)^{1/2p}$-uniformly Lipschitz) with $p$…

Given a discrete group $\Gamma$, a finite factor $\mathcal N$ and a real number $p\in [1, +\infty)$ with $p\neq 2,$ we are concerned with the rigidity of actions of $\Gamma$ by linear isometries on the $L_p$-spaces $L_p(\mathcal N)$…

This article contains two rigidity type results for $\mathrm{SL}(n,\mathbb{Z})$ for large $n$ that share the same proof. Firstly, we prove that for every $p \in [1,\infty]$ different from $2$, the noncommutative $L^p$-space associated with…

The special linear group G=SL_n(Z[x1,...,xk]) (n at least 3 and k finite) is called the universal lattice. Let n be at least 4, p be any real number in (1,\infty). The main result is the following: any finite index subgroup of G has the…

Property $(TTT)$ was introduced by Ozawa as a strengthening of Kazhdan's property $(T)$ and Burger and Monod's property $(TT)$. In this paper, we improve Ozawa's result by showing that any simple algebraic group of rank $\geq 2$ over a…

In this paper, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for which a finitely generated group has a property like Kazhdan's Property $(T)$ restricted to one isometric representation on a strictly convex Banach space without non-zero…

A Banach space has the weak fixed point property if its dual space has a weak$^*$ sequentially compact unit ball and the dual space satisfies the weak$^*$ uniform Kadec-Klee property; and it has the \fpp if there exists $\epsilon>0$ such…

Let $\Gamma$ be a discrete group with property $(T)$ of Kazhdan. We prove that any Riemannian isometric action of $\Gamma$ on a compact manifold $X$ is locally rigid. We also prove a more general foliated version of this result. The…

A result by Ornstein and Weiss states that a free and measure-preserving action of an amenable group on a probability space yields a decomposition of the space in disjoint images, up to a small error, analogous to the one given by the…

Let B be any Lp space for p in (1,infty) or any Banach space isomorphic to a Hilbert space, and k be a nonnegative integer. We show that if n is at least 4, then the universal lattice Gamma =SL_n (Z[x1,...,xk]) has property (F_B) in the…

We give a criterion for the rigidity of actions on homogeneous spaces. Let $G$ be a real Lie group, $\Lambda$ a lattice in $G$, and $\Gamma$ a subgroup of the affine group Aff$(G)$ stabilizing $\Lambda$. Then the action of $\Gamma$ on…

We prove a number of property (T) permanence results for locally compact quantum groups under exact sequences and the presence of invariant states, analogous to their classical versions. Along the way we characterize the existence of…

Let $X$ be a Banach space and let $C$ be a closed convex bounded subset of $X$. It is proved that $C$ is weakly compact if, and only if, $C$ has the {it generic} fixed point property ($\mathcal{G}$-FPP) for the class of $L$-bi-Lipschitz…

We study model-theoretic stability and independence in Banach lattices of the form $L_p(X,U,\mu)$, where $1 \leq p < \infty$. We characterize non-dividing using concepts from analysis and show that canonical bases exist as tuples of real…

The paper studies Banach spaces satisfying the Littlewood-Paley-Rubio de Francia property LPR_p, 2 \leq p < \infty. The paper shows that every Banach lattice whose 2-concavification is a UMD Banach lattice has this property. The paper also…

It is known that for $\sigma$-compact groups Kazhdan's Property $(T)$ is equivalent to Serre's Property $(FH)$. Generalized versions of those properties, called properties $(T_{B})$ and $(F_{B})$, can be defined in terms of the isometric…

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…

We study Popa's notion of rigidity for equivalence relations induced by actions on homogeneous spaces. For any lattices $\Gamma,\Lambda$ in a semisimple Lie group $G$ with finite center and no compact factors we prove that the action…

Consider a finite l-group acting on the affine space of dimension n over a field k, whose characteristic differs from l. We prove the existence of a fixed point, rational over k, in the following cases: --- The field k is p-special for some…
