Actions of higher rank groups on uniformly convex Banach spaces

Publication date 2 March 2023

Abstract: We prove that all isometric actions of higher rank simple Lie groups and their lattices on arbitrary uniformly convex Banach spaces have a fixed point. This vastly generalises a recent breakthrough of Oppenheim. Combined with earlier work of Lafforgue and of Liao on strong Banach property (T) for non-Archimedean higher rank simple groups, this confirms a long-standing conjecture of Bader, Furman, Gelander and Monod. As a consequence, we deduce that sequences of Cayley graphs of finite quotients of a higher rank lattice are super-expanders.
