چکیده
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 ELn(R), where n ≥ 3 and R is an arbitrary finitely generated associative ring. We also strengthen some of the results on property (T) for Kac-Moody groups from [DJ].

In this paper we survey the main results about Golod-Shafarevich groups and their applications in algebra, number theory and topology.
متن کاملKazhdan Quotients of Golod-shafarevich Groups
The main goal of this paper is to prove that every Golod-Shafarevich group has an infinite quotient with Kazhdan’s property (T ). In particular, this gives an affirmative answer to the well-known question about non-amenability of Golod-Shafarevich groups.
متن کاملGolod-shafarevich Groups with Property (t ) and Kac-moody Groups
We construct Golod-Shafarevich groups with property (T ) and thus provide counterexamples to a conjecture stated in a recent paper of Zelmanov [Ze2]. Explicit examples of such groups are given by lattices in certain topological Kac-Moody groups over finite fields. We provide several applications of this result including examples of residually finite torsion non-amenable groups.
