Abstract: In this article we improve the known Kazhdan constant for $S{L}_n(Z)$ with respect to the generating set of the elementary matrices. We prove that the Kazhdan constant is bounded from below by $[42sqrtn+860{]}^{-1}$, which gives the exact asymptotic behavior of the Kazhdan constant, as $n$ goes to infinity, since $sqrt2/n$ is an upper bound. We can use this bound to improve the bounds for the spectral gap of the Cayley graph of $S{L}_n(F_p)$ and for the working time of the product replacement algorithm for abelian groups.
