New Kazhdan groups
Abstract
The group of simplicial automorphisms of a Tits-Kac-Moody ininite building of thickness q associated to a cocompact reflexion group with fundamental domain a simplex, is Kazhdan for q sufficiently large. Thus we obtain families of new Kazhdan groups: two in dimension 3 and one in dimension 4. The proof uses continuos cohomology, in particular a lemma of Borel-Wallach, and Garland's vanishing method.
