Jul 25, 2013 at 13:12 comment added Dan Sălăjan @Mark: Great. It would be very nice if you could write some more details (if you have time, of course), this fact is a rather big improvement in the Von Neumann-Day question...
Jul 25, 2013 at 11:52 comment added user6976 @Dan: I do not think it is a problem, you can always make $t$ smaller by adding relations (and preserving (T)).
Jul 25, 2013 at 11:29 comment added Dan Sălăjan Amazing! I do not understand yet the proofs in Ershov, so I apologize for the following mechanical question: in Theorem 12.1 the quantity $1-H_t+H_R(t)$ is negative for $t=2/d$ while in the proof of 3.3 it starts with a group with $t$ between $1/d$ and $1/(d-1)$? Is that ok?(t= tau)
Jul 25, 2013 at 11:28 comment added user6976 The reason it was open was that when the problem was formulated by Ceccherini-Silberstein, Grigorchuk, and de la Harpe, GS groups with property (T) (or even with property ($\tau$)) were not known. In fact many people believed that such groups do not exist. Also I am not sure that they considered GS groups. After Ershov found a GS group with property (T), nobody noticed that it solves the problem - till now.
Jul 25, 2013 at 10:56 comment added HJRW That seems eminently deserving of a +1!
Jul 25, 2013 at 10:43 comment added user6976 That is correct.
Jul 25, 2013 at 10:41 comment added HJRW So the problem was open when you started writing the answer, and solved by the time you'd finished!?
