Abstract

We study property T for an action α of a discrete group Γ on a unital C*-algebra \(\mathscr{A}\). Our main results improve some well-known results about property T for groups. Moreover, we introduce Hilbert \(\mathscr{A}\)-module property T and show that the action α has property T if and only if the reduced crossed product \(\mathscr{A}\;{\rtimes_{\alpha, r}}\) Γ has Hilbert \(\mathscr{A}\)-module property T.
