Title:         “On a-T-menability”

Date:        3:30PM, Wednesday, March 24, 2004
Place:       Room 920, Burnside Hall, McGill University

Abstract:

As the name is supposed to suggest, a-T-menability is both a relaxation of amenability and a negation of property T. We introduce this property in a circle of ideas that includes property FA, property T, amenability and growth. We also describe geometric instances that imply a-T-menability.
