Abstract

We consider the following three properties for countable discrete groups Γ: (1) Γ has an infinite subgroup with relative property (T), (2) the group von Neumann algebra LΓ has a diffuse von Neumann subalgebra with relative property (T) and (3) Γ does not have Haagerup's property. It is clear that (1) ⇒ (2) ⇒ (3). We prove that both of the converses are false. © 2011 American Mathematical Society.
