Abstract

We present the surge of activity since 2005, around what we call the algebraic (as contrasted with the geometric) approach to Kazhdan’s property (T). The discussion includes also an announcement of a recent result (March 2006) regarding property (T) for linear groups over arbitrary finitely generated rings.
