Abstract:
For each countable group $Q$ we produce a short exact sequence $1\rightarrow N \rightarrow G \rightarrow Q\rightarrow 1$ where $G$ has a graphical $\frac 16$ presentation and $N$ is f.g. and satisfies property $T$. As a consequence we produce a group $N$ with property $T$ such that $\operatorname {Out}(N)$ is infinite. Using the tools developed we are also able to produce examples of non-Hopfian and non-coHopfian groups with property $T$. One of our main tools is the use of random groups to achieve certain properties.References
