Student Geometry/Topology Seminar

Property T for locally compact groups was first introduced by Kazhdan in 1967. Examples of groups satisfying Property T include real simple Lie groups of higher rank and their lattices. Another property satisfied by lattices in higher rank simple Lie groups is property FA. In this talk we will see the definition of both properties, discuss the relation among them and give several (non)examples.
