Property (T) in density-type models of random groups

Group Theory 2022-05-24 v2 Probability

Abstract

We study Property (T) in the Γ(n,k,d)\Gamma(n,k,d) model of random groups: as kk tends to infinity this gives the Gromov density model, introduced in [Gro93]. We provide bounds for Property (T) in the kk-angular model of random groups, i.e. the Γ(n,k,d) \Gamma (n,k,d) model where kk is fixed and nn tends to infinity. We also prove that for d>1\slash3d>1\slash 3, a random group in the Γ(n,k,d)\Gamma(n,k,d) model has Property (T) with probability tending to 11 as kk tends to infinity, strengthening the results of \.{Z}uk and Kotowski--Kotowski, who consider only groups in the Γ(n,3k,d)\Gamma (n,3k,d) model.
