Relative property (T) and linear groups

Talia Fernós (2006)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Relative property (T) has recently been used to show the existence of a variety of new rigidity phenomena, for example in von Neumann algebras and the study of orbit-equivalence relations. However, until recently there were few examples of group pairs with relative property (T) available through the literature. This motivated the following result: A finitely generated group Γ admits a special linear representation with non-amenable R -Zariski closure if and only if it acts on an Abelian group A (of...

Representations of PGL ( 2 ) of a local field and harmonic cochains on graph

Paul Broussous (2009)

Annales de la faculté des sciences de Toulouse Mathématiques

We give combinatorial models for non-spherical, generic, smooth, complex representations of the group G = PGL ( 2 , F ) , where F is a non-Archimedean locally compact field. More precisely we carry on studying the graphs ( X ˜ k ) k 0 defined in a previous work. We show that such representations may be obtained as quotients of the cohomology of a graph X ˜ k , for a suitable integer k , or equivalently as subspaces of the space of discrete harmonic cochains on such a graph. Moreover, for supercuspidal representations, these models...
