Small Kazhdan constants for small generating sets of linear groups
Tsachik Gelander, Alex Lubotzky, Jvbin Yao
Let G be a linear group with Kazhdan property (T) generated by d elements. We show that there are generating sets of size d+2 with arbitrarily small Kazhdan constants. We also prov…
Kazhdan constants for two-element generating sets of
Jvbin Yao
For , the group has property , so every finite generating set has a positive Kazhdan constant. However, it was recently shown that the infim…
Non Uniform Kazhdan Constant for Linear Groups
Alexander Lubotzky, Jvbin Yao
A group generated by a finite set has Property if the associated Kazhdan constant is positive. If so, the same holds for every finite generating set . The…
Entropy on Homogeneous Spaces and Classification Results for Subgroups with the Pair Rapid Decay Property
Jvbin Yao
We study pair rapid decay for homogeneous spaces \(G/H\) and its applications to random walks and subgroup structure. The entropy framework for groups with rapid decay is extended…
Coarse Geometry of Free Products of Metric Spaces
Qin Wang, Jvbin Yao
Recently, a notion of the free product of two metric spaces and has been introduced by T. Fukaya and T. Matsuka. In this paper, we study coarse geometric permane…
