Property of Rapid Decay for Extensions of Compactly Generated Groups
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the article we settle down the problem of permanence of property RD under group extensions. We show that if 1 → N → G → Q → 1 is a short exact sequence of compactly generated groups such that Q has property RD, and N has property RD with respect to the restriction of a word-length on G, then G has property RD. We also generalize the result of Ji and Schweitzer stating that locally compact groups with property RD are unimodular. Namely, we show that any automorphism of a locally compact group with property RD which distorts distances subexponentially, preserves the Haar measure. 2010 Mathematics Subject Classification: 22D15, 43A15, 20F65.

Connected Lie Groups and Property Rd
For a locally compact group, the property of rapid decay (property RD) gives a control on the convolutor norm of any compactly supported function in terms of its L2-norm and the diameter of its support. We characterize the Lie groups that have property RD. 0. Introduction The property of rapid decay (property RD) emerged from the work of U. Haagerup in [15] and was first studied systematically ...
متن کاملRelatively Hyperbolic Groups with Rapid Decay Property
We prove that a finitely generated group G hyperbolic relative to the collection of finitely generated subgroups {H1, . . . , Hm} has the Rapid Decay property if and only if each Hi , i = 1, 2, . . . ,m, has the Rapid Decay property.

Let G be a compactly generated locally compact group and let U be a compact generating set. We prove that if G has polynomial growth, then (U)n∈N is a Følner sequence and we give a polynomial estimate of the rate of decay of μ(Un+1 r Un) μ(Un) . Our proof uses only two ingredients: the doubling property and a weak geodesic property that we call Property (M). As a matter of fact, the result rema...
متن کاملSome Geometric Groups with Rapid Decay
We explain simple methods to establish the property of Rapid Decay for a number of groups arising geometrically. Those lead to new examples of groups with the property of Rapid Decay, notably including non-cocompact lattices in rank one Lie groups.
متن کاملOne-point extensions of locally compact paracompact spaces
A space $Y$ is called an {em extension} of a space $X$, if $Y$ contains $X$ as a dense subspace. Two extensions of $X$ are said to be {em equivalent}, if there is a homeomorphism between them which fixes $X$ point-wise. For two (equivalence classes of) extensions $Y$ and $Y'$ of $X$ let $Yleq Y'$, if there is a continuous function of $Y'$ into $Y$ which fixes $X$ point-wise. An extension $Y$ ...
