The strong spectral gap conjecture for higher-rank lattices

About 1 year old · traced to

Let Γ\Gamma be a center-free irreducible higher-rank lattice in GG, and let VV be a unitary representation of Γ\Gamma whose action does not extend to a GG-action on any non-trivial subrepresentation. The strong spectral gap conjecture. The unitary induction of VV to GG has a spectral gap with respect to each factor of GG. This strengthens the spectral gap conjecture and is known when GG has property T; the source gives no resolution in general.
