چکیده

We give bounds on Kazhdan constants of abelian extensions of (finite) groups. As a corollary, we improved known results of Kazhdan constants for some meta-abelian groups and for the relatively free group in the variety of p-groups of lower p-series of class 2. Furthermore, we calculate Kazhdan constants of the tame automorphism groups of the free nilpotent groups.

Functions of Conditionally Negative Type on Kazhdan Groups

An explicit bound is given for functions of conditionally negative type on Kazhdan groups, in terms of a set of generators and the corresponding Kazhdan constants. This is used to estimate how far a set in an infinite measure space can be translated by the action of a Kazhdan group. Some estimates are given for Kazhdan constants.

Kazhdan Constants of Hyperbolic Groups ∗

Let H be an infinite hyperbolic group with Kazhdan property (T ) and let κ(H,X) denote the Kazhdan constant of H with respect to a generating set X . We prove that infX κ(H,X)= 0, where the infimum is taken over all finite generating sets of H . In particular, this gives an answer to a Lubotzky question.

On Kazhdan Constants and Mixing of Random Walks

Let G be a group with Kazhdan’s property (T), and let S be a transitive generating set (there exists a group H ⊂ Aut(G) which acts transitively on S.) In this paper we relate two definitions of the Kazhdan constant and the eigenvalue gap in this case. Applications to various random walks on groups, and the product replacement random algorithm, are also presented.

Se p 20 05 GENERALIZED JONES TRACES AND KAZHDAN – LUSZTIG BASES

We develop some applications of certain algebraic and combinatorial conditions on the elements of Coxeter groups, such as elementary proofs of the pos-itivity of certain structure constants for the associated Kazhdan–Lusztig basis. We also explore some consequences of the existence of a Jones-type trace on the Hecke algebra of a Coxeter group, such as simple procedures for computing leading ter...
