Abstract: Suppose N is a diffuse, property T von Neumann algebra and X is an arbitrary finite generating set of selfadjoint elements for N. By using rigidity/deformation arguments applied to representations of N in full matrix algebras, we deduce that the microstate spaces of X are asymptotically discrete up to unitary conjugacy. We use this description to show that the free entropy dimension of X, delta0(X), is less than or equal to 1. It follows that when N embeds into the ultraproduct of the hyperfinite mathrmII1-factor, then delta0(X)=1 and otherwise, delta0(X)=infinity. This generalizes the earlier results of Voiculescu, and Ge, Shen pertaining to SLn(mathbbZ) as well as the results of Connes, Shlyakhtenko pertaining to group generators of arbitrary property T algebras.
