Abstract: Let $R$ be an infinite commutative ring with identity and $ngeq2$ be an integer. We prove that for each integer $i=0,1,cdots,n-2,$ the $L^2$-Betti number $b_i^{(2)}(G)=0,$ ${\displaystyle }$when $G=mathrm{GL}_n(R)$ the general linear group, $mathrm{SL}_n(R)$ the special linear group, $\mathrm{\%}{E}_n(R)$ the group generated by elementary matrices. When $R$ is an infinite principal ideal domain, similar results are obtained for $mathrm{Sp}_{2n}(R)$ the symplectic group, $mathrm{ESp}_{2n}(R)$ the elementary symplectic group, $mathrmO(n,n)(R)$ the split orthogonal group or $mathrmEO(n,n)(R)$ the elementary orthogonal group. Furthermore, we prove that $G$ is not acylindrically hyperbolic if $ngeq4$. We also prove similar results for a class of noncommutative rings. The proofs are based on a notion of $n$-rigid rings.
