We prove that random groups at density less than 1 6 act freely and cocompactly on CAT(0) cube complexes, and that random groups at density less than 1 5 have codimension-1 subgroups. In particular, Property (T ) fails to hold at density less than 1 5 . Abstract. Nous prouvons que les groupes aléatoires en densité strictement inférieure à 1 6 agissent librement et cocompactement sur un complexe...
