For each countable group $Q$ we produce a short exact sequence $1\to N \to G \to Q\to 1$ where $G$ is f.g. and has a graphical $\frac16$ presentation and $N$ is f.g. and satisfies property $T$. As a consequence we produce a group $N$ with…

We prove that every countably infinite group with Kazhdan's property (T) has cost 1, answering a well-known question of Gaboriau. It remains open if they have fixed price 1.

Every discrete group with Kazhdan's Property (T) is a quotient of a torsion-free, word hyperbolic group with Property (T).

We construct several series of explicit presentations of infinite hyperbolic groups enjoying Kazhdan's property (T). Some of them are significantly shorter than the previously known shortest examples. Moreover, we show that some of those…

We introduce a notion of topological property (T) for \'etale groupoids. This simultaneously generalizes Kazhdan's property (T) for groups and geometric property (T) for coarse spaces. One main goal is to use this property (T) to prove the…

We construct first examples of infinite groups having property (T) whose Kazhdan constants admit a lower bound independent of the choice of a finite generating set.

It is shown that infinite, discrete, Kazhdan property (T) groups never have the {\it finite-dimensional density} (FDD) property. This answers a conjecture of Lubotzky and Shalom affirmatively.

In 2010, Invent. Math., Ershov and Jaikin-Zapirain proved Kazhdan's property (T) for elementary groups. This expository article focuses on presenting an alternative simpler proof of that. Unlike the original one, our proof supplies no…

We prove a finiteness theorem for the first flat cohomology group of finite flat group schemes over integral normal proper varieties over finite fields. As a consequence, we can prove the invariance of the finiteness of the Tate-Shafarevich…

The goal of this note is to provide yet another proof of the following theorem of Golod: there exists an infinite finitely generated group $G$ such that every element of $G$ has finite order. Our proof is based on the Nielsen-Schreier index…

We establish a new spectral criterion for Kazhdan's property $(T)$ which is applicable to a large class of discrete groups defined by generators and relations. As the main application, we prove property $(T)$ for the groups $EL_n(R)$, where…

We show that property (T) is not profinite, that is, we construct two finitely generated residually finite groups which have isomorphic profinite completions while one admits property (T) and the other does not. This settles a question…

We give a simple definition of property T for discrete quantum groups. We prove the basic expected properties: discrete quantum groups with property T are finitely generated and unimodular. Moreover we show that, for "I.C.C." discrete…

We prove that, for the free algebra over a sufficiently rich operad, a large subgroup of its group of tame automorphisms has Kazhdan's property (T). We deduce that there exists a group with property (T) that maps onto large powers of…

We show that all groups of a distinguished class of \guillemotleft large\guillemotright\ topological groups, that of Roelcke precompact Polish groups, have Kazhdan's Property (T). This answers a question of Tsankov and generalizes previous…

We give simple examples of Kazhdan groups with infinite outer automorphism groups. This answers a question of Paulin, independently answered by Ollivier and Wise by completely different methods. As arithmetic lattices in (non-semisimple)…

We construct finitely generated groups with strong fixed point properties. Let $\mathcal{X}_{ac}$ be the class of Hausdorff spaces of finite covering dimension which are mod-$p$ acyclic for at least one prime $p$. We produce the first…

We show that if $G$ is a non-archimedean, Roelcke precompact, Polish group, then $G$ has Kazhdan's property (T). Moreover, if $G$ has a smallest open subgroup of finite index, then $G$ has a finite Kazhdan set. Examples of such $G$ include…

We prove that finitely generated amenable groups acting on CAT(0) spaces satisfy the following alternative: either every action on a geodesically complete CAT(0) space with bounded geometry (or finite dimension) has a global fixed point, or…

Given a smooth geometrically connected curve $C$ over a field $k$ and a smooth commutative group scheme $G$ of finite type over the function field $K$ of $C$ we study the Tate--Shafarevich groups given by elements of $H^1(K,G)$ locally…
