Abstract: We initiate the large scale geometric study of Banach-Lie groups, especially of linear Banach-Lie groups. We show that the exponential length, originally introduced by Ringrose for unitary groups of $C^{\ast }$-algebras, defines the quasi-isometry type of any connected Banach-Lie group. As an illustrative example, we consider unitary groups of separable abelian unital $C^{\ast }$-algebras with spectrum having finitely many components, which we classify up to topological isomorphism and up to quasi-isometry, in order to highlight the difference. The main results then concern the Haagerup property, and Properties (T) and (FH). We present the first non-trivial non-abelian and non-localy compact groups having the Haagerup property, most of them being non-amenable. These are the groups $mathcal{U}_2(M,au)$, where $M$ is a semifinite von Neumann algebra with a normal faithful semifinite trace $au$. Finally, we investigate the groups $mathrm{E}_n(A)$, which are closed subgroups of $mathrmGL(n,A)$ generated by elementary matrices, where $A$ is a unital Banach algebra. We show that for $ngeq3$, all these groups have Property (T) and they are unbounded, so they have Property (FH) non-trivially. On the other hand, if $A$ is an infinite-dimensional unital $C^{\ast }$-algebra, then $mathrm{E}_2(A)$ does not have the Haagerup property. If $A$ is moreover abelian and separable, then $mathrmSL(2,A)$ does not have the Haagerup property.
