On the Haagerup inequality and groups acting on -buildings
Let be a group endowed with a length function , and let be a linear subspace of . We say that satisfies the Haagerup inequality if there exists constants such that, for any , the convolutor norm of on is dominated by times the norm of . We show that, for , the Haagerup inequality can be expressed in terms of decay of random walks associated with finitely supported symmetric probability measures on . If is a word length function on a finitely generated group , we show that,...
