Abstract: We extend Ballmann and Swiatkowski's work on $L^2$-cohomology of groups acting on simplicial complexes and provide further vanishing results of $L^2$-cohomologies. In particular, we give a new criterion for property (T) for groups acting on an n-dimensional simplcial complex.

Review text

Summary: We extend \textit{W. Ballmann} and \textit{J. Świątkowski}'s work on cohomology of groups acting on simplicial complexes [Geom. Funct. Anal. 7, No. 4, 615--645 (1997; Zbl 0897.22007)] and provide further vanishing results of cohomologies and of property (T). In particular, we give a new criterion for property (T) for groups acting on an \(n\)-dimensional simplicial complex.
