Haagerup Property - Examples

Examples

There are many examples of groups with the Haagerup property, most of which are geometric in origin. The list includes:

  • All compact groups (trivially). Note all compact groups also have property (T). The converse holds as well: if a group has both property (T) and the Haagerup property, then it is compact.
  • SO(n,1)
  • SU(n,1)
  • Groups acting properly on trees or on -trees
  • Coxeter groups
  • Amenable groups
  • Groups acting properly on CAT(0) cubical complexes

Famous quotes containing the word examples:

    Histories are more full of examples of the fidelity of dogs than of friends.
    Alexander Pope (1688–1744)

    In the examples that I here bring in of what I have [read], heard, done or said, I have refrained from daring to alter even the smallest and most indifferent circumstances. My conscience falsifies not an iota; for my knowledge I cannot answer.
    Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)

    No rules exist, and examples are simply life-savers answering the appeals of rules making vain attempts to exist.
    André Breton (1896–1966)
