Examples of hyperlinear groups without factorization property

Kateryna Iushchenko of Texas A&M University


Following a paper of Andreas Thom we construct non-residually finite group with Kazhdan's property (T) which is locally embeddable into finite
groups. As a consequence this group is hyperlinear but fails to have Kirchberg's factorization property.
