### Large groups, Property (tau) and the homology growth of subgroups

Abstract:

We investigate the homology of finite index subgroups G_i of a given finitely presented group G. Specifically, we examine d_p(G_i), which is the dimension of the first homology of G_i, with mod p coefficients. We say that a collection of finite index subgroups {G_i} has linear growth of mod p homology if the infimum of d_p(G_i)/[G:G_i] is positive. We show that if this holds and each G_i is normal in its predecessor and has index a power of p, then one of the following possibilities must be t...
