Sublinear growth of 1-cocycles and uniform convexity
Andreas Thom
Abstract
Let G be a finitely generated group, let $π\colon G \to {\rm GL}(E)$ be a uniformly bounded $c_0$-representation on a superreflexive Banach space $E$, and let $b \colon G \to E$ be a $1$-cocycle for $π$. Then $b$ has sublinear growth with respect to the word length. As a corollary we obtain the corresponding Hilbert space statement for strongly mixing unitary representations.
