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 ell2-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.
