About the obstacle to proving the Baum-Connes conjecture without coefficient for a non-cocompact lattice in \(Sp_4\) in a local field (Q510244): Difference between revisions

Summary: We introduce property \((T_{\mathrm {Schur}},G,K)\) and prove it for some non-cocompact lattice in \(Sp_4\) in a local field of finite characteristic. We show that property \((T_{\mathrm {Schur}},G,K)\) for a non-cocompact lattice \(\Gamma\) in a higher rank almost simple algebraic group in a local field is an obstacle to proving the Baum Connes conjecture without coefficient for \(\Gamma\) with known methods, and this is stronger than the well-known fact that \(\Gamma\) does not have the property of rapid decay (property (RD)). It is the first example (as announced in [\textit{V. Lafforgue}, ``Strong property (T) and the Baum-Connes conjecture'', unpublished notes. École thématique autour de la conjecture de Baum-Connes et du principe d'Oka en géométrie non-commutative, Département de Mathématique d'Orsay, Univerité de Paris-Sud 11 (2010)]) for which all known methods for proving the Baum-Connes conjecture without coefficient fail.
