Property ( T ) for Noncommutative Universal Lattices
نویسنده
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].

متن کاملOn residuated lattices with universal quantifiers
We consider properties of residuated lattices with universal quantifier and show that, for a residuated lattice $X$, $(X, forall)$ is a residuated lattice with a quantifier if and only if there is an $m$-relatively complete substructure of $X$. We also show that, for a strong residuated lattice $X$, $bigcap {P_{lambda} ,|,P_{lambda} {rm is an} m{rm -filter} } = {1}$ and hence that any strong re...
متن کاملLattices and Their Continuum
We address the problem of the continuum limit for a system of Hausdorr lattices (namely lattices of isolated points) approximating a topological space M. The correct framework is that of projective systems. The projective limit is a universal space from which M can be recovered as a quotient. We dualize the construction to approximate the algebra C(M) of continuous functions on M. In a companio...
متن کامل6 F eb 2 00 5 Universal lattices and property τ
We prove that the universal lattices – the groups G = SLd(R) where R = Z[x1, . . . , xk], have property τ for d ≥ 3. This provides the first example of linear groups with τ which do not come from arithmetic groups. We also give a lower bound for the τ -constant with respect to the natural generating set of G. Our methods are based on bounded elementary generation of the finite congruence images...
