Abstract: In this paper, we obtain a new proof result of Shlyakhtenko which states that if $G$ is a sofic, finitely presented group with vanishing first $el{l}^2$-Betti number, then $L(G)$ is strongly 1-bounded. Our proof of this result adapts and simplifies Jung's technical arguments which showed strong 1-boundedness under certain conditions on the Fuglede-Kadison determinant of the matrix capturing the relations. Our proof also features a key idea due to Jung which involves an iterative estimate for the covering numbers of microstate spaces. We also provide a short proof using works of Shlyakhtenko and Shalom that the von Neumann algebras of sofic groups with Property T are strongly 1 bounded, which is a special case of another result by the authors.

Summary: We obtain a new proof of Shlyakhtenko's result which states that if \(G\) is a sofic, finitely presented group with vanishing first \(\ell^2\)-Betti number, then \(L(G)\) is strongly 1-bounded. Our proof of this result adapts and simplifies Jung's technical arguments which showed strong 1-boundedness under certain conditions on the Fuglede-Kadison determinant of the matrix capturing the relations. Our proof also features a key idea due to Jung which involves an iterative estimate for the covering numbers of microstate spaces. We also use the works of Shlyakhtenko and Shalom to give a short proof that the von Neumann algebras of sofic groups with Property (T) are strongly 1 bounded, which is a special case of another result by the authors.
