Kazhdan Constants of Hyperbolic Groups ∗
نویسنده
چکیده
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.

Kazhdan Constants of Group Extensions
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.
متن کاملFunctions 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.
متن کاملRips Construction and Kazhdan Property (t)
We show that for any non–elementary hyperbolic group H and any finitely presented group Q, there exists a short exact sequence 1 → N → G → Q → 1, where G is a hyperbolic group and N is a quotient group of H . As an application we construct a representation rigid but not superrigid hyperbolic group, show that adding relations of the form xn = 1 to a presentation of a hyperbolic group may drastic...

متن کاملNew Kazhdan groups
Introduction A locally compact, second countable group G is called Kazhdan if for any unitary representation of G, the first continuous cohomology group is trivial H 1 ct (G, ρ) = 0. There are several other equivalent definitions, the reader should consult [6], esp. 1.14 and 4.7. For some time now Kazhdan groups have attracted attention. One of the main challenges is to understand them geometri...
