On Almost Representations of Property (t) Groups
نویسندگان
چکیده
Property (T) for groups means a dichotomy: a representation either has an invariant vector or all vectors are far from being invariant. We show that, under a stronger condition of Żuk, a similar dichotomy holds for almost representations as well.

2 9 Se p 20 04 ON THE ASYMPTOTICS OF QUANTUM SU ( 2 ) REPRESENTATIONS OF MAPPING CLASS GROUPS
We investigate the rigidity and asymptotic properties of quantum SU(2) representations of mapping class groups. In the spherical braid group case the trivial representation is not isolated in the family of quantum SU(2) representations. In particular, they may be used to give an explicit check that spherical braid groups and hyperelliptic mapping class groups do not have Kazhdan’s property (T)....
متن کاملThe Asymptotics of Quantum
We investigate the rigidity and asymptotic properties of quantum SU(2) representations of mapping class groups. In particular we prove that the hyperelliptic mapping class groups do not have Kazhdan’s property (T). On the other hand, the quantum SU(2) representations of the mapping class group of the torus do not have almost invariant vectors, in fact they converge to the metaplectic representa...
متن کاملThe effect of social cognitive representation on the mental property of the body: Evidence based on rubber hand illusion
Mental representations are to be considered as the most advanced aspects of human cognition and in addition to their own physical representations, representations of social cognition of others can also affect the mental experience of each person's ownership of their body. Accordingly, the present research as a quasi-experimental study based on repeated measures, was conducted in order to invest...
متن کاملUniformly Bounded Representations and Exact Groups
We characterize groups with Guoliang Yu’s property A (i.e., exact groups) by the existence of a family of uniformly bounded representations which approximate the trivial representation. Property A is a large scale geometric property that can be viewed as a weak counterpart of amenability. It was shown in [12], that for a finitely generated group property A implies the Novikov conjecture. It was...
متن کاملAlmost representations and asymptotic representations of discrete groups
We define for discrete finitely presented groups a new property related to their asymptotic representations. Namely we say that a groups has the property AGA if every almost representation generates an asymptotic representation. We give examples of groups with and without this property. For our example of a group Γ without AGA the group K(BΓ) cannot be covered by asymptotic representations of Γ...
