Abstract
We prove that if a geodesically complete space admits a proper cocompact isometric action of a group, then the Izeki-Nayatani invariant of is less than . Let be a finite connected graph, be the linear spectral gap of , and be the nonlinear spectral gap of with respect to such a space . Then, the result implies that the ratio is bounded from below by a positive constant which is independent of the graph . It follows that any isometric action of a random group of the graph model on such has a global fixed point. In particular, any isometric action of a random group of the graph model on a Bruhat-Tits building associated to a semi-simple algebraic group has a global fixed point.
