Abstract

In this article we provide the first examples of property (T) II1 factors N with trivial fundamental group, F(N) = 1. Our examples arise as group factors N = L(G) where G belong to two distinct families of property (T) groups previously studied in the literature: the groups introduced by Valette in [Geom. Dedicata 112 (2005), 183–196] and the ones introduced recently in [Anal. PDE 16 (2023), 433–476] using the Belegradek-Osin Rips construction from [Groups Geom. Dyn. 2 (2008), 1–12]. In particular, our results provide a continuum of explicit pairwise nonisomorphic property (T) factors.
