Abstract
It is well known that a discrete group that is both amenable and has Kazhdan's Property T must be finite. In this note we generalize this statement to the case of transformation groups. We show that if G is a discrete amenable group acting on a compact Hausdorff space X, then the transformation group C∗-algebra C∗(X; G) has Property T if and only if both X and G are finite. Our approach does not rely on the use of tracial states on C∗(X; G). Copyright © 2014 Canadian Mathematical Society.
