Symmetrization of probability measures, pushforward of order 2 and the Boolean convolution

Wojciech MłotkowskiNoriyoshi Sakuma — 2011

Banach Center Publications

We study relations between the Boolean convolution and the symmetrization and the pushforward of order 2. In particular we prove that if μ₁,μ₂ are probability measures on [0,∞) then ( μ μ ) s = μ s μ s and if ν₁,ν₂ are symmetric then ( ν ν ) ( 2 ) = ν ( 2 ) ν ( 2 ) . Finally we investigate necessary and sufficient conditions under which the latter equality holds.

Property (T) and A ¯ 2 groups

Donald I. CartwrightWojciech MłotkowskiTim Steger — 1994

Annales de l'institut Fourier

We show that each group Γ in a class of finitely generated groups introduced in [2] and [3] has Kazhdan’s property (T), and calculate the exact Kazhdan constant of Γ with respect to its natural set of generators. These are the first infinite groups shown to have property (T) without making essential use of the theory of representations of linear groups, and the first infinite groups with property (T) for which the exact Kazhdan constant has been calculated. These groups therefore provide answers...
