%0 Journal Article %T A characterization of relative Kazhdan Property T for semidirect products with abelian groups %A Yves Cornulier %A Romain Tessera %J Mathematics %D 2009 %I arXiv %R 10.1017/S0143385710000271 %X Let A be a locally compact abelian group, and H a locally compact group acting on A. Let G=HA be the semidirect product. We prove that the pair (G,A) has Kazhdan's Property T if and only if the only countably approximable H-invariant mean on the Borel subsets of the Pontryagin dual of A, supported at the neighbourhood of the trivial character, is the Dirac measure. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/0911.3371v3
