Group cubization (with an appendix by Mikael Pichot)

Group Theory 2018-05-23 v2

Abstract

We present a procedure of group cubization: It results in a group whose some features resemble the ones of a given group, and which acts without fixed points on a CAT(0) cubical complex. As a main application we establish lack of Kazhdan's property (T) for Burnside groups.
